September 23, 2025, ST. PETERSBURG, FL – Water Tower Research (www.watertowerresearch.com) has published an Initiation of Coverage Report on Nauticus Robotics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KITT) titled, “Depth-Defying Growth Strategy with Unique Autonomous Underwater Drone (AUD) Technology”. The report can be accessed here.
Nauticus Robotics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KITT) is at the forefront of autonomous underwater drone (AUD) technology, offering advanced ocean robots and leading-edge software solutions to support customers in offshore energy (oil & gas, wind), telecom, pipelines, and defense industries. KITT’s technology replaces traditional, labor-intensive, and fuel-intensive subsea tasks with enhanced safety, efficiency, and lower carbon emissions. For investors, KITT is the only pure-play listed AUD company.
KITT’s unique AUDs, unlike conventional AUVs, can hover, maneuver around obstacles, and operate independently for extended periods. The company’s flagship technology is its ToolKITT software. This core platform enables autonomous robot navigation, perception, decision-making, task execution, and is platform agnostic. KITT’s Aquanaut undersea robot is designed to operate at depths up to 3,000 meters without tethers and the company’s Olympic Arm manipulator work-class robotic arm is all-electric, offering superior precision, dexterity, and energy efficiency.
KITT is shifting from an R&D focus to commercial growth, building manufacturing partnerships, and exploring a high-margin licensing strategy with a royalty payment structure. Following this year’s acquisition of SeaTrepid, KITT has expanded its operational capacity and accelerated technology deployment. The estimated 12 AUDs in operation globally today by all manufacturers account for only a sliver of today’s multi-billion-dollar addressable market. Moreover, the market is forecast to grow aggressively over the next 10 years, providing a significant opportunity for KITT’s AUDs to replace traditional AUV and ROV workloads.
