Exail to supply cybersecure navigation systems for Hellenic Navy’s FDI frigates

By Defence Industry Europe

French technology company Exail has been selected by Naval Group to supply navigation systems for the Hellenic Navy’s new Defence and Intervention (FDI) frigates. The agreement includes the delivery of three interoperable systems: the Marins Inertial Navigation System (INS), the Netans Data Distribution Unit (DDU), and the Gecdis-W Warship Electronic Chart Display and Information System (WECDIS).

 

These systems will be fully integrated into the frigates’ advanced cybersecure digital infrastructure to ensure effective operation in high-threat environments. The FDI class represents a new generation of multi-role naval vessels, designed for anti-air, anti-surface, and anti-submarine warfare, as well as special operations support.

Exail’s technology is engineered to perform under the most demanding conditions, offering continuous, accurate, and reliable navigation data. This enables the frigates to maintain superior situational awareness and mission effectiveness across all operational scenarios.

 

 

The Marins INS provides high-performance inertial sensing, essential for accurate navigation without external references. The Netans DDU ensures efficient and cybersecure data sharing between ship systems, supporting operational integrity even in contested digital environments.

The Gecdis-W WECDIS offers advanced tactical chart display and navigation functions, fully compliant with the latest NATO STANAG standards. These integrated solutions enhance both the performance and security of the vessels’ operations.

 

 

“The selection of Exail’s navigation systems for the Hellenic Navy’s FDI frigates reflects our commitment to delivering reliable and cybersecure solutions that address the evolving challenges of naval operations,” said Pierre-Louis Roudaut, Sales Manager at Exail. “We are proud to support the Hellenic Navy with proven technology that enhances operational confidence and security.”

This contract continues the partnership between Exail and Naval Group, which began with the successful integration of the same systems into the French Navy’s FDI frigates. It reaffirms confidence in Exail’s expertise in delivering advanced and secure navigation capabilities for next-generation naval forces.
