Exail
Designs and manufactures inertial navigation, underwater positioning, and marine robotics systems, including subsea navigation products.
Exail is a high-tech industrial group focused on robotics, maritime operations, navigation, aerospace, photonics, and quantum technologies. It designs and manufactures advanced technologies in Europe and supplies solutions to both defense and civil customers in more than 80 countries. Its activities are organized around several major business areas spanning the ocean, land, air, and space domains, with a strong focus on critical operations and demanding environments. In maritime, Exail offers products and solutions for operations from the surface to the deep sea. That portfolio covers surface navigation, subsea navigation and positioning, inertial measurement units, geophysical software, deep-sea autonomous underwater vehicles, maritime autonomy systems, uncrewed surface vessels, remotely operated vehicles, remote hydrography services, and subsea manipulator arms, supporting applications such as renewable energy, oil and gas, maritime construction, seabed survey, and science and oceanography. In defense, the company provides naval and land defense solutions, including mine countermeasures systems, naval navigation products, land and air navigation and pointing systems, unmanned ground vehicles, driving and motion simulation, and supporting systems such as inertial navigation, underwater acoustic positioning, sonar, degaussing, and steering consoles. Its work in stand-off mine countermeasures stands out within that defense range, and it is trusted by more than 70 navies and armies worldwide. Exail serves aerospace customers with systems for ground, air, and space operations, among them emergency locator transmitters, wireless access points, flight and maintenance training simulation, aircraft tooling, inertial systems for satellites and launchers, RF space equipment, gyroscopes for satellites, tracking chains, and propagation channel emulators. In photonics, it supplies optical modulation products, specialty optical fibers, laser systems, free-space micro-optics assemblies, quantum and metrology instruments, fiber Bragg grating and optical filters, and space-grade components for applications such as lasers, quantum sensing, space, atom cooling and atom manipulation, directed energy laser, and high-energy laser facilities. Land civil systems round out the range, covering civil engineering and industrial operations with solutions for mining, tunneling, mobile mapping, and rail applications, alongside navigation and pointing products, motion simulation, driving training simulation, inertial systems, and HWIL systems. Support and services run across the whole portfolio: Exail provides 24/7 global technical support, commissioning assistance, knowledge sharing, troubleshooting, repairs, and training services to help customers integrate and use its products effectively.
