The Czech Republic has officially selected Exail as the provider of its artillery command and reconnaissance vehicles with the integration of Advans Series Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). This collaboration aims to enhance the precision of positioning and ensure operational reliability for the Czech forces, particularly in challenging environments.
Exail’s navigation systems, which utilize fiber-optic gyroscopes, are designed to maintain accurate positioning and orientation, even in situations where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals may be jammed or rendered unavailable. The Ministry of Defense’s military-technical institute in the Czech Republic highlighted that the Advans Series INS satisfies their requirements for a highly reliable and precise navigation system, essential for effective military operations.
In addition to their precision capabilities, these systems are built to counter spoofing and jamming threats, ensuring dependable navigation during critical command and reconnaissance missions. Jean-Baptiste Fruchart, Regional Sales Manager at Exail, emphasized that this new contract bolsters Exail’s position in land defense navigation, which has seen recent successes in various regions, including Northern Europe, Spain, France, and the United Kingdom.
The Advans Series INS is already being utilized by over 20 land defense forces globally, supporting a diverse range of military applications, including combat vehicles, optronic turrets, radars, and air defense systems. The systems feature a plug-and-play design with open protocols that facilitate seamless integration and on-site installation by military units, significantly enhancing operational readiness.
Exail offers three distinct platforms within the Advans Series to cater to different operational requirements. The Advans Ursa is a cost-effective solution aimed at tactical vehicles, while the Advans Lyra provides mid-range precision for various navigation and pointing applications. On the other hand, the Advans Vega stands out as a high-performance INS designed for long-range missions, making it suitable for extended deployments and complex operational scenarios. Both the Lyra and Vega models excel in rapid target acquisition, quick system initialization, and real-time data processing, making them compatible with advanced weapon platforms.
