Exail Chosen by Navantia to Equip Spanish S80 Submarines With WECDIS Navigation System

Exail, a global leader in naval navigation, has secured a contract with Navantia to supply its Gecdis-W Warship Electronic Chart Display and Information System (WECDIS) for the four Spanish S80 Plus-class submarines.

Developed by Navantia for the Spanish Navy, the S-80 Plus-class submarines are designed with operational mobility to navigate discreetly and swiftly at high speeds, enabling them to complete missions involving potential threats. The integration of Exail Gecdis-W system will further enhance the submarines’ capabilities, providing precise positioning, real-time situational awareness, and efficient route planning through live data integration and accurate navigational charts.

IMO-certified as ECDIS software and fully compliant with NATO’s STANAG standards, Exail Gecdis-W system will serve as a strategic asset for the Spanish Navy during sea-based military operations, aiming to elevate their ability to comprehend tactical scenarios aboard warships.
