Overview

Kraken Kinetics develops high-performance warheads and fuzing systems for unmanned and autonomous military platforms. The company designs and manufactures mission-tailored kinetic munitions (including tungsten fragmentation, shaped charge, EFP, thermobaric, and reactive materials) and advanced fuzing, with products like the Terminus warhead that uses a LIDAR height-of-burst sensor to defeat vehicle armor. Its weapons are deployed on drones and in drone swarms, and the firm has demonstrated multi-target EFP strikes controlled by a single operator. The organization leverages a background from a government group that pioneered kinetic drones for the DoD, enabling rapid development and scalable production through proprietary design tools. Kraken Kinetics aims to provide modular, cost-effective, and scalable munitions for small drones and to secure large-scale production contracts for national security applications.
