A British maritime-autonomy unicorn was born this week.

Kraken Technology Group raised $175 million in a Series B at a $1 billion valuation.
The company builds uncrewed maritime systems and has secured contracts from the UK Ministry of Defence, NATO European partners and US Special Operations Command.
It is also expanding local production through Rheinmetall in Germany, Anduril in the US and Davie Shipbuilding in Canada.
The new capital will support further platform development and international manufacturing.
Here are the other major capital moves across robots, drones and autonomy this week.
