Press release
Paris, 20 March 2025
Exail Technologies has signed a new contract for the supply of a transoceanic DriX surface drone with a European institutional player. This client is already equipped with several drones from the group, including the first model of DriX H-8. The client's satisfaction with the use of the group's solutions has led them to strengthen their operational capabilities with the DriX 0-16 model, the largest drone in Exail's range. This contract represents a significant amount for the Group.
After a first commercial success for this new model in the Asia-Pacific region at the end of 2024, this second sale confirms the good positioning of the transoceanic DriX model. In a context where maritime operators are moving towards more autonomous and environmentally friendly solutions, the DriX O-16 supports this evolution by offering an efficient and low-carbon alternative to conventional manned vessels.
Integrated into the client's fleet alongside other already operational drones, the DriX O-16 will enable the client to carry out advanced multi-drone collaboration missions thanks to Exail's acoustic communication equipment and navigation systems. It will provide high-resolution seabed mapping and precise environmental monitoring in complex maritime conditions.
Since December 2024, the commercialization of DriX surface drones has been dynamic: Exail has sold five DriX drone systems, including two DriX O-16, for civil applications in different regions of the world. In total, these sales represent nearly €30 million for the group.
Beyond civil applications, some navies are conducting trials to use surface drones for defense applications. This is notably the case of the French Navy, which took control of the DriX from the Toulon base in March 2025 (link to the press release issued by the French Navy).
