Exail has partnered with Arche Systeme GmbH and SAAB to modernize the German Navy’s Brandenburg-Class frigates (F123). This collaboration will enhance the frigates’ navigation capabilities through upgrades of Exail’s Netans data distribution units and Marins inertial navigation systems.
Building on previous successful deployments of Exail’s systems on F123 frigates, this initiative aims to enhance navigation precision and reinforce cybersecure, redundant data management, maintaining the fleet’s effectiveness and readiness as part of a comprehensive modernization program.
The upgraded Netans system will offer improved data distribution speed and reliability, enabling real-time data sharing within the frigate and enhancing situational awareness. Its modular architecture will ensure seamless integration and adaptability, allowing the frigates to meet evolving maritime demands. The introduction of a higher-performance Marins inertial navigation system will elevate positioning accuracy and reliability, ensuring that the frigates can navigate effectively even in challenging environments.
“We are pleased to partner with ARCHE and SAAB to deliver state-of-the-art technology for the Brandenburg-Class frigates,” said Jens Higgen, Regional Sales Director at Exail. “We are also grateful to the German Navy for their continued trust. This new contract not only reflects their ongoing satisfaction with Exail’s integrated and evolutive navigation solutions but also strengthens their trust in Exail’s expertise in delivering innovative defense technology.”
This contract reinforces Exail’s position as a global leader in naval navigation and a trusted supplier of integrated solutions, adding to recent successes in naval operations, including France’s Ocean Patrol Vessels and FDI, the UK’s T31 frigates, Spain’s S80 submarines, F110 frigates, and Turia M34 minehunters, the Netherlands and Belgium’s Anti-Submarine Warfare frigates, as well as the UAE Gowind corvettes, and the US Navy’s LCS 27, 29, 31, and Keeper-class buoy tenders.
