The INS and data distribution units will be installed on the Dutch and Belgian navies’ future class of Anti-Submarine Warfare Frigates (ASWFs).
“We extend our sincere appreciation to RH Marine Netherlands BV for placing their trust in Exail,” Hans-Willem Deleeuw, Director of Exail BV, was quoted as saying in a company press release. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge technology that enhances maritime defence capabilities. Our advanced technology is designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern naval operations, offering the Dutch and Belgian navies a strategic edge in anti-submarine warfare.”
The partnership further reinforces Exail’s position as a trusted provider of navigation solutions for naval applications worldwide. The company’s navigation equipment has been installed on the Spanish minehunter Turia, Spanish F110 multi-mission frigates, US Coast Guard Keeper-class buoy tenders, Norwegian and German U212CD submarines, as well as the latest French FDI-class frigates and has been specified for Finland’s four Squadron 2020 multi-role corvettes.
