Visão geral
Medium-range survey USV from Exail for supervised autonomous hydrography, ocean science, offshore work, and defense missions in shallow or deep water.
DriX H-8 is Exail's 7.71 m medium-range uncrewed surface vehicle for hydrographic survey, oceanography, offshore energy, and defense work. It can be remotely controlled or run under supervised autonomy within visual range or over the horizon, using Exail's Cortix Aut collision-avoidance and command system. Official specifications list a 1,000 nautical mile range, converted here to about 1,852 km, endurance of seven days at 7 knots or up to ten days at 4 knots, and a maximum speed of 14 knots. Its carbon-Kevlar composite hull and drop keel are designed for stable acquisition in high sea states. A swappable gondola carries combinations of multibeam echosounder, inertial navigation, USBL, and velocity sensors, while surface-mounted cameras, radar, LiDAR, and other mission equipment extend the platform across civilian and defense roles.
