Leading Navy Selects Exail Navigation Systems for USV Fleet

An undisclosed navy selected Exail's military-grade Marins inertial navigation systems for its entire fleet of uncrewed surface vessels, the French company announced on October 21, 2026. Exail described the award as a major contract but did not disclose its value, identify the customer or state the number of systems. The Marins equipment supplies autonomous vessels with position, heading, attitude and velocity data, supporting navigation when satellite signals are interrupted or manipulated. The systems use Exail's fibre-optic gyroscope technology, already deployed aboard naval surface vessels, submarines and uncrewed underwater vehicles.
