Exail launches rapidly deployable navigation solution for agile operations in GNSS-denied environments
Designed for immediate front-line deployment, the system enables defense forces to rapidly redeploy high-precision navigation capabilities across platforms as the mission requirements evolve. It is compatible with any wheeled, tracked, or waterborne platforms, with no vehicle modification or host-power connection required. The solution also enables units to bring platforms equipped with legacy systems up to current navigation warfare standards without taking them out of service.
Both cases are directly relevant to Multi Domain Operations (MDO), where ground units, naval assets, and air-inserted forces must operate in coordination across rapidly evolving theatres. By enabling the deployment of a common resilient navigation standard across contested environments without integration work or dedicated infrastructure, the new system strengthens interoperability between domains at the operational level.
Designed for immediate transfer across platforms, Exail's navigation case sustains precise positioning for ground and naval forces operating in GNSS-contested environments
"Navigation requirements don't wait for logistics cycles. This system was built so that the time between identifying a need and being operational is measured in minutes, not days. It gives field units the ability to immediately counter GNSS unavailability and maintain operational continuity in contested environments. As defense forces increasingly face electronic warfare threats and rapidly evolving operational conditions, the ability to deploy trusted navigation capabilities wherever they are needed becomes a critical factor for mission success."
said Gérard Page, Land Defense Demo & Tests Manager at Exail.
The new navigation deployable system features a modular architecture that accommodates a range of Exail inertial units, allowing forces to scale from tactical-grade to high-performance navigation according to specific mission requirements, without disrupting theater logistics. Built on Exail's high-precision fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) technology — already deployed across more than 70 navies and armies worldwide — this solution reflects Exail's continued commitment to providing defense forces with resilient navigation capabilities for operations in increasingly contested electromagnetic environments.
