英國克拉肯（Kraken）公司與紳寶英國分公司（Saab UK）合作，將無人水面載具與主動相位陣列雷達整合，打造新型海上反無人載具偵察平台。該系統結合無人艇的自主作業能力與雷達搜索效能，旨在強化港口及海上關鍵基礎設施的監控與預警能力。

UK-based Kraken has partnered with Saab UK to integrate an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) with an active electronically scanned array radar, creating a new maritime counter-uncrewed surveillance platform. By combining autonomous vessel operations with radar surveillance capabilities, the system aims to strengthen monitoring and early-warning capabilities around ports and critical maritime infrastructure.

K3哨兵搭載長頸鹿1X　強化海上監偵能力

K3 Scout Equipped with Giraffe 1X to Enhance Maritime Surveillance

新型平台以克拉肯「K3哨兵」（K3 Scout）無人艇為基礎，搭載紳寶「長頸鹿1X」（Giraffe 1X）旋轉式主動相位陣列雷達。藉由無人艇的自主操作與長時間海上執勤能力，雷達可在海上環境持續執行搜索任務，為港口及關鍵基礎設施提供反無人載具預警支援。

The new platform is based on Kraken’s K3 Scout USV, equipped with Saab’s Giraffe 1X rotating active electronically scanned array radar. The vessel’s autonomous operation and extended endurance allow the radar to conduct surveillance at sea, providing counter-uncrewed threat early warning for ports and critical infrastructure.

除可獨立執行監偵任務外，該平台也有望與有人艦艇協同運作，或支援自主化作戰任務，呼應「混合海軍」（hybrid navy）及有人／無人協同作戰（MUM-T）的發展方向，拓展海上監控與防衛的運用方式。

Beyond independent surveillance missions, the platform could operate alongside crewed vessels or support autonomous operations. Its development aligns with the concepts of a hybrid navy and crewed-uncrewed teaming (MUM-T), expanding options for maritime surveillance and defense.

最高航速55節　可執勤長達30天

Top Speed of 55 Knots and Up to 30 Days at Sea

K3哨兵全長約8.4公尺，以柴油引擎為動力，最高航速達55節，約每小時101公里，酬載能力最高可達600公斤。依據任務需求，該艇可在25節航速下航行超過1,111公里，或持續在海上執勤最長30天，並具備低訊號特徵與自主作業能力。

The K3 Scout measures approximately 8.4 meters in length and is powered by a diesel engine. It has a top speed of 55 knots, or about 101 kilometers per hour, and can carry a payload of up to 600 kilograms. Depending on mission requirements, the vessel can travel more than 1,111 kilometers at 25 knots or remain on duty at sea for up to 30 days. It also features a low-signature design and autonomous operating capabilities.

此次整合利用K3哨兵的模組化酬載艙搭載長頸鹿1X雷達。該雷達的搜索距離約75公里，可監控海空目標，並能在約4至5公里距離偵測雷達截面積（RCS）極小的無人機，展現其在近距離反無人機偵測任務中的應用潛力。

The integration places the Giraffe 1X radar inside the K3 Scout’s modular payload bay. With a reported detection range of approximately 75 kilometers, the radar can monitor targets in the air and at sea. It can also detect drones with very small radar cross-sections at distances of around 4 to 5 kilometers, highlighting its potential for short-range counter-drone surveillance.

七個月完成整合　克拉肯擴大無人艇產能

Integration Completed in Under Seven Months as Kraken Expands Production

克拉肯表示，雙方在不到七個月內便完成K3哨兵與長頸鹿1X的整合，展現系統整合效率與模組化設計的彈性。透過結合不同廠商的無人載具與感測系統，未來可望依任務需求調整酬載配置，加快新型海上監偵能力的部署。

Kraken said the integration of the K3 Scout and Giraffe 1X was completed in less than seven months, demonstrating engineering efficiency and the flexibility of the modular design. Combining USVs and sensor systems from different manufacturers could allow payload configurations to be tailored to mission requirements and accelerate the deployment of new maritime surveillance capabilities.

克拉肯也正擴大廠區投資，目標是未來將無人艇年產能提升至1,000艘以上，以加速供應英國及盟國所需的無人系統。隨著海上關鍵基礎設施安全與反無人載具需求受到重視，無人艇結合雷達等感測裝備的模式，將為港口防護、海上監偵及有人／無人協同作戰提供更多發展空間。

Kraken is also expanding its production facilities, with the goal of increasing annual USV output to more than 1,000 vessels to meet demand from the United Kingdom and its allies. As protection of maritime critical infrastructure and counter-uncrewed capabilities gain greater attention, integrating USVs with radar and other sensors could create further opportunities for port security, maritime surveillance, and crewed-uncrewed operations.
