Per the video:
“Sidney got the term Kraken because that’s the nickname of the 305 military intelligence battalion.”

“’Kraken’ provides needed intelligence, force protection at NIE” https://www.army.mil/article-amp/64655/kraken_provides_needed_intelligence_force_protection_at_nie
The 305th Military Intelligence Battalion is located at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. It consists of three companies: Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie. Its mission is to train Initial Entry Trainees for the MOSes of 35G (Geospatial Imagery Intelligence Analyst) and 35F (All Source Intelligence Analyst).
Kraken — which is described as an instantiation of the JFPASS software — was begun as part of a $30-million Joint Capability Technology Demonstration, O’Neill explained.
It was co-developed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense Physical Security Equipment Action Group and the Joint Program Executive Office-Chemical and Biological Defense, with oversight by the Rapid Fielding Directorate, Director Defense Research & Engineering to address the issue of forces being at risk because current technologies, concept of operations, and policies do not provide a comprehensive, effective, and sustainable force-protection capability, he added.
“Fielded force-protection systems do not interoperate and integrate effectively, nor do they provide comprehensive and integrated situational awareness,” O’Neill said.
The JFPASS JCTD has matured its technical capabilities through a series of demonstrations over the years, O’Neill explained.
“JFPASS demonstrated fusion, automation, and integration of information among mature systems, sensors, tools, and processes to provide a more effective, automated, layered, and comprehensive joint force protection capability at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., in 2009 and Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, in August of last year,” O’Neill added.
