At Euronaval 2026, KAHE Nautic unveiled the K series, consisting of three electrically powered semi-submersible naval drones. The French manufacturer has announced a starting price of 5,900 %C2euros and is seeking partners to bring this new product line to market in Europe.

Three electric-powered drones

The lineup includes three models, each equipped with two electric motors. The K600 has a combined power output of 1.2 kW, the K1200 has 2.4 kW, and the K2400 has 4.8 kW.

The three platforms share propulsion technology that KAHE Nautic claims to have already deployed in more than 16,000 units in both the civilian and military sectors.

The manufacturer is relying on this existing technical foundation to keep development costs down. However, the announced price of 5,900 %C2euros has yet to be clarified: the included features and specifications have not been detailed.

Discretion and flexibility are the order of the day

Designed to operate partially submerged, the drones in the K series are engineered for low detectability. KAHE Nautic highlights, in particular, a patented cavitation-free propulsion system and a reduced acoustic signature. However, no comparative data has been provided.

The company also announced a modular architecture that allows hardware components, software, and interfaces to be adapted to different missions.

The key characteristics?endurance, speed, dimensions, and payload capacity?still need to be documented in order to assess the operational uses of these drones.

Building a European Production Industry

KAHE Nautic is now seeking industrial partners in Europe. No timeline or production volume has been specified.

With the K series, the company aims to bring its electric propulsion technology to the naval drone market. Its ability to mass-produce these platforms and demonstrate their performance will be the next step in the project.
