Exail - Defense & Security

🌊 Paving the way for safer seas: key milestones in the rMCM program The rMCM program marks a significant leap forward in Mine Countermeasures capabilities for the Belgian and Royal Netherlands Navies. This year, Exail's team have been fully committed and worked hard to achieve several key milestones: ✅ Production of the first two sets of tools ✅ Successful launch and testing of the first of series Unmanned Surface Vehicles #USV ✅ Ongoing seas trials of different underwater drones (AUV, ROV and towed sonar) ✅ Beginning of crew training for the first Belgian MCM vessel in our Ostend facilities in Belgium These achievements represent major strides toward full system deployment by 2025. 👉 Check out the full article and videos to explore how this program and Exail's UMIS system are shaping the future of maritime safety. 🛡️🛡️ https://lnkd.in/epxZGs9k #Innovation #MaritimeSafety #MineCountermeasures #DefenseTechnology

🎥 During #Euronaval2024, our CEO, Thomas Buret, sat down with Alix Valenti to discuss Exail’s vision for the future of #mine #countermeasures (#MCM) and #naval #navigation. In this exclusive interview, Thomas explains how Exail’s innovative solutions are transforming maritime technology and driving the next generation of autonomous systems. 👉 Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eyDXPQUN EURONAVAL was an incredible platform for #Exail to showcase our cutting-edge technologies and our key role in two major programs: 💠𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗟𝗔𝗠𝗙 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺, revolutionizing autonomous mine warfare with advanced robotics. 💠𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝘆’𝘀 𝗙𝟭𝟮𝟯 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀, further cementing our leadership in navigation technology. In addition, we had the privilege of presenting our state-of-the-art robotics alongside the French Ministry for Armed Forces, including the #A6K Ultra Deep AUV, the #A18M AUV for MCM, and the #DriX USV, all designed to enhance operational efficiency and security for global navies. Euronaval 2024 was a defining moment for us! 🙏 A huge thank you to GICAN and SOGENA for organizing such an outstanding event, and to all the customers, partners, and delegations who visited us and helped make this event a success. Let’s continue to drive the future of naval defense together! ✨

Exail has provided the Navy with a comprehensive suite of unmanned systems designed for MCM missions. By simulating operational environments during the OT&E program, the Navy can adjust tactics, improve efficiency, and fine-tune the systems to meet the specific challenges of mine countermeasures missions. Crews provide invaluable feedback based on their operational experiences, refining how these systems are deployed in real-world conditions. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐑𝐄𝐏𝐌𝐔𝐒 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 The Royal Netherlands Navy’s experience with Exail’s systems was recently highlighted during REPMUS 2024 exercise. During this exercise, the Navy deployed and operated Exail's Inspector 90 USV  and A18-M AUV alongside other drones, testing their capabilities. This exercise offered the Navy a valuable opportunity to test Exail’s systems in a joint NATO setting. 👉Discover more about this journey and OT&E program: https://lnkd.in/ePSEXiJm #RoyalNetherlandsNavy #REPMUS2024 #MineCountermeasures #Exail #DefenseTechnology #MaritimeSecurity 📷Courtesy of the Royal Netherlands Navy Koninklijke Marine
