Exail plans to provide a DriX H-9 unmanned surface vessel for US Navy counter-drone testing, while an Oryx O-16 is intended for evaluation by the US Coast Guard, Naval News reports following a visit to the company’s facility in France.

The report says a third party will integrate the counter-drone payload before the DriX is transferred to the Office of Naval Research. It does not identify that payload.

These are planned evaluation activities. The report does not establish that either evaluation has been completed or that the Coast Guard has placed a production order.
