Euronaval 2026: HGH reveals French Navy contract for Spynel-F
HGH announced at Euronaval 2026 that it would supply three Spynel-F panoramic infrared imaging systems to the French Navy for evaluation by the Maritime Gendarmerie. The camera provides a 180-degree horizontal field of view and a 30 Hz frame rate, with digital stabilisation and the option to combine modules for full panoramic coverage. The naval staff’s innovation office is sponsoring tests expected to span four types of vessels to assess interoperability. The purchase follows a first phase of trials in January 2026 and supports evaluation of the camera for navigation, collision avoidance and search and rescue.
