Exail has secured a strategic defense contract with a European nation for the delivery of a fleet of five DriX H-8 Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs).
This contract marks a major milestone in the operational deployment of DriX (standard version) for ISR missions. It is the largest order to date for Exail’s DriX platform and reflects the growing adoption of uncrewed surface systems by naval and maritime security forces. It also underscores the shift towards integrating mature, autonomous platforms into modern ISR.
Originally developed for hydrographic missions, the DriX H-8 USV is a proven, mature platform designed to operate in both shallow and deep waters. Its versatility enables it to execute a wide range of maritime missions, both civilian and military. The platform has already been trusted by major naval forces including the U.S. Navy and the French Navy and has demonstrated robust performance during key multinational operations such as NATO’s REPMUS or Task Force X exercises.
