Exail joins Babcock’s ARMOR Force ecosystem to advance the Hybrid Navy
Announced at Euronaval 2026, ARMOR Force (Autonomous and Remote Maritime Operational Response – Force) brings together complementary expertise in autonomous platforms, sensors, payloads, communications and mission systems. Led by Babcock as systems integrator, the framework aims to accelerate the adoption of Hybrid Navy capabilities by integrating crewed, lean-crewed and uncrewed systems within a common operational environment.
As part of this ecosystem, Exail will contribute its expertise in uncrewed maritime systems and autonomous technologies, supporting the development of adaptable solutions designed to extend naval operational reach, enhance mission effectiveness and address evolving maritime defence requirements.
Alongside Exail, the framework brings together CUBEDIN, Hensoldt, Kraken Technology Group, SH Defence, Stormborn and Thales. Built around an open and modular architecture, ARMOR Force is designed to evolve as new technologies mature and naval requirements change.
