Exail to supply five USVs to unnamed European navy

The USV platform was originally developed for hydrographic missions and is designed to operate in both shallow and deep waters. Exail noted that the platform has previously been used by the US Navy and the French Navy and has performed in multinational operations, including NATO's REPMUS and Task Force X exercises.

"This contract highlights the growing strategic need for unmanned maritime ISR capabilities," said Jérôme Bendell, Head of Exail's Maritime Systems Business line.

Exail was also recently selected to supply four USVs along with remotely operated mine identification and disposal systems to the Indonesian Navy.
