Exail Secures Major Navigation Systems Contract for Surface Drones

Exail, a part of Groupe Gorgé, has been tapped by a leading navy to supply inertial navigation systems for its uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). The deal, valued at tens of millions of euros, marks one of Exail's largest navigation systems orders to date.

This development comes as navies increasingly integrate both crewed and uncrewed vessels into their fleets. The demand for robust navigation systems is heightened by the complex geopolitical climate, including threats like GPS jamming.

Exail's Marins range, offering high-performance inertial navigation systems, is at the heart of this contract. This order underscores Exail's strong market position in autonomous maritime robotics, complementing its lead in underwater vehicle navigation technology.
