Marins M1
High-performance military-grade inertial navigation for compact platforms
Marins M1 brings Exail’s proven inertial navigation performance to platforms where size, weight and power are critical, from tactical boats and patrol craft to USVs and UUVs.
High-performance navigation
now for compact platforms
Compact naval and autonomous platforms increasingly operate in demanding environments where navigation performance cannot be compromised. Yet their constraints in size, weight, power and integration leave little room for conventional high-performance navigation systems. Marins M1 addresses this challenge by bringing Marins-level inertial navigation performance into a compact architecture designed for smaller platforms.
Designed for evolving naval requirements
Naval operations are evolving, with capabilities increasingly distributed across a broader mix of crewed and uncrewed platforms. From tactical and patrol craft to USVs and UUVs, these platforms are taking on more demanding roles, while contested GNSS environments and the growing use of autonomous systems are increasing the need for reliable, resilient navigation.
Marins M1 was developed for this changing operational landscape. As the latest addition to Exail’s Marins family, it brings proven inertial navigation capabilities into a compact architecture specifically designed for the requirements of smaller naval platforms.

MAKING High-performance navigation
MORE ACCESSIBLE
A smaller platform does not mean a less demanding operational environment. Tactical craft, patrol boats, USVs and UUVs can face the same challenging navigation conditions as larger vessels, including contested or GNSS-denied environments. Marins M1 addresses this gap by combining proven inertial performance with an architecture designed around the integration and economic realities of compact naval platforms.
Resilient beyond GNSS
Maintain accurate and reliable navigation when GNSS is jammed, spoofed, degraded or unavailable.
Designed for compact integration
A compact, power-efficient architecture designed to meet the size, weight, power and integration constraints of smaller naval platforms.
A new economic equation
An optimized architecture makes high-performance inertial navigation viable for a broader range of naval platforms and applications.
