Unmanned Surface Vehicles
Detecting and neutralizing naval mines is essential for protecting homeland security and ensuring the safe passage of commercial and military vessels.
As underwater mine technology evolves, so does the need for safer and more efficient Mine Countermeasure (MCM) operations. Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) enable stand-off and safe operations from land, dedicated ships, or ships of opportunity. Exail’s Inspector USVs, provides autonomous and remote capacities for MCM operations.
Inspector USVs: keeping crew safe from the minefield
Thanks to a combination of advanced technology, speed, endurance, versatility, and efficiency, Exail's USVs are well-equipped for the most demanding MCM missions. The Inspector range, featuring embedded payloads and seamless integration with other Exail drones, supports various MCM operations (detecting, classifying, and neutralizing naval mines and underwater threats) while keeping personnel out of the danger zone.
