Navigation solutions provider Exail has secured a new contract with a US-based global defense player to provide navigation systems for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs).
As informed, the agreement involves the delivery of 100 Phins Compact inertial navigation systems (INS) for UUVs.
According to the company, the systems offer highly precise navigation capabilities in demanding environments and remain resilient to external signal disruptions. Their compact design enables rapid integration, allowing UUVs to carry out missions with flexibility and efficiency.
“We are grateful for our client’s trust in Exail technology. We are confident that our INS will deliver the precision and robustness required for UUVs to operate effectively across varied environments,” said Carlos Lopes , Sales Director at Exail.
“Over the years, we’ve worked closely with our customers to develop a navigation suite that truly meets defense challenges. Today, our INS is a global benchmark in subsea navigation.”
The INS technology is widely deployed on a broad range of subsea autonomous vehicles worldwide. It supports defense programs from over 50 navies.
Last month, Exail secured a strategic defense contract with a European nation for the delivery of a fleet of five DriX H-8 uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs).
