Exail delivers advanced navigation systems to Finnish Navy for Squadron 2020 programme

By Defence Industry Europe

French technology company Exail has successfully delivered critical navigation equipment to the Finnish Navy, marking a key milestone in Finland’s Squadron 2020 programme. The delivery includes multiple Marins M3 inertial navigation systems (INS) and shockmount protection systems for the new Pohjanmaa-class corvettes.

 

 

This upgrade significantly enhances the Finnish Navy’s operational capabilities in the strategically important Baltic Sea region. The Marins M3 systems offer precise positioning and orientation, even in scenarios where GNSS signals are compromised.

Each corvette will be equipped with both Marins M3 and Phins systems, forming a robust and redundant inertial architecture. This setup ensures maximum reliability and resilience during complex naval missions.

The inclusion of shock-mounted protection guarantees the systems remain functional during high-impact conditions, maintaining consistent performance in demanding environments. These features are designed to support the Finnish Navy’s operations across all mission profiles.

“We are proud to have reached this milestone with the successful delivery of our advanced navigation systems to the Finnish Navy,” said Régis Blomme, Sales Director at Exail. “This achievement underscores our commitment to supporting critical defence programs and highlights our ability to meet the stringent demands of modern naval operations.”

“Our systems are engineered to deliver unparalleled accuracy and reliability, allowing the Finnish Navy to operate with confidence in any environment,” Blomme added. The company’s technology is built to meet the challenges of today’s defence landscape.

The Squadron 2020 programme, which includes the construction of four new multi-role Pohjanmaa-class corvettes, is a major step in modernising Finland’s naval defence. These vessels are expected to play a vital role in safeguarding Finland’s maritime interests and contributing to regional stability.
