Exail has secured two new contracts for its DriX H-9 autonomous surface vessel, expanding its role in maritime defense and hydrographic operations. One contract involves integrating counter-drone capabilities for an undisclosed navy, enabling detection and neutralization of aerial threats offshore. The second award from France’s SHOM supports seabed mapping and maritime safety missions. The DriX H-9 is a long-endurance, modular platform capable of operating for up to 20 days and covering 2,000 nautical miles. Its flexible payload architecture supports hydrography, infrastructure monitoring, and defense missions, with additional contracts expected in 2026.
