Overview
Exail's unsinkable 12 m mine-countermeasure USV that carries and deploys mine-hunting drones.
Inspector 125 is the uncrewed surface vessel at the centre of Exail's mine-countermeasure toolbox. The 12.3 m boat, built on an unsinkable, blast-resistant rescue-boat hull, carries Exail's A18-M AUVs, T18-M towed sonar, and Seascan and K-STER mine-disposal vehicles into a minefield while the crew stays on a mothership far away. It runs for up to 40 hours at up to 20 knots, and its waterjet version deploys and recovers drones while a propeller-driven version tows sweeping gear. Mission kits can be swapped in under six hours.
