, /PRNewswire/ -- Nauticus Robotics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KITT), a leading innovator in autonomous subsea robotics and software, announced that its flagship underwater vehicle, Aquanaut Mark 2, reached a new depth record of 2,300 meters underwater, 240 kilometers off the coast of Louisiana. "I am pleased to report that our vehicle has reached unprecedented ultra deepwater depths without the need of a tether. Reaching this new depth is an exciting milestone, and we have obtained significant data on both Aquanaut and TooKITT from these tests – particularly regarding acoustic communication challenges in ultra deep water. Our Autonomous Solutions team will spend the necessary time to analyze the new data and apply this information to optimize performance for our ultra deep applications and across our portfolio," said Daniel Dehart, Nauticus' VP of Field Operations. Nauticus Robotics' CEO John Gibson commented, "The more time we spend untethered in the water, the greater our operational and technical lead expands in the market. I want to thank our employees for their dedication to innovating for our customers and their offshore projects. I'm proud that our team is constantly finding solutions to strengthen our capabilities underwater and enhance revenue opportunities for projects at these depths." About AquanautAquanaut is a fully electric-operated autonomous underwater vehicle, currently under testing, that images subsea structures, such as manifolds, trees and pipelines, and is capable of performing seabed scanning, leak detection, obstacle avoidance, and close visual inspection. These vehicles are untethered, which eliminates the need for topside structures and makes the project significantly more efficient and safer for humans. The company estimates that oil and gas customers will save between 30 and 40 percent by using the Aquanaut. The Aquanaut vehicle leverages Nauticus' proprietary ToolKITT software, a versatile and platform-independent solution previously tested across various subsea vehicle classes. By harnessing the power of ToolKITT and the pioneering design of Aquanaut, Nauticus is spearheading the industry's shift from traditional tethered operations to augmented autonomy.
