Exail has won a strategic defense contract with a European nation for the delivery of a fleet of five DriX H-8 Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs).
These USVs will be deployed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions, reinforcing maritime situational awareness and supporting the protection of key maritime routes.
This order marks a major milestone in the operational deployment of DriX for ISR missions. It is the largest order to date for Exail’s DriX platform and confirms the growing adoption of unmanned surface systems by naval forces.
Proven platform: Originally developed for hydrographic missions, the DriX H-8 is a mature platform designed to operate in both shallow and deep waters. Its versatility enables it to execute a wide range of civilian and military maritime missions.
Operational references: The platform has already been adopted by the U.S. and French navies, demonstrating robust performance during key multinational operations such as NATO’s REPMUS exercises or Task Force X.
The award of this contract highlights the growing strategic need for unmanned maritime ISR capabilities and confirms the maturity, reliability and operational impact of DriX.
