HOUSTON — Nauticus Robotics has been awarded an additional $2.1 million under its current contract with Leidos. The additional funding augments the earlier award, and this program has received $16.6 million in funding from Leidos since 2022. Nauticus says the technology developed is expected to underpin future, economically material opportunities.
Derived from Aquanaut, this undersea robot features technology to support longer and more challenging missions. In addition, this award furthers operational enhancements to toolKITT, Nauticus' proprietary software package developed to enable an ecosystem of autonomous actions for subsea vehicles, which enables the vehicle’s intelligence.
A prior contract was announced in May. The two contracts from this year bring the total amount of funding received to nearly $20 million.
