Type 31 frigates to be equipped with Marins INS

Exail has been selected by Anschutz, a German company specializing in ship navigation systems, to supply Marins inertial navigation systems (INS) for the Royal Navy’s T31 general-purpose frigates.

Exail has stated that the Marins INS will provide the T31 frigates with uninterrupted and highly accurate navigation data, regardless of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) availability or external disruptions, ensuring that the T31 crews maintain precise awareness of their location, even in challenging scenarios such as GNSS spoofing or jamming, granting them a crucial navigational advantage for achieving operational success.

Exail’s navigation solutions are currently in use on various Royal Navy platforms, such as the Astute-class nuclear attack submarines, Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, Duke-class frigates, and Vanguard-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines.

“We take great pride in contributing to the Royal Navy’s mission success through the supply of our Marins INS for the T31 frigates. This contract underlines the quality and reliability of Exail navigation systems, which are maintenance-free and fully meet the stringent military requirements of the most modern combat ships,” said Jens Higgen, Regional Sales Director at Exail.

“Through this collaboration, Exail remains dedicated to driving innovation and providing advanced navigation solutions to support the evolving needs of the Royal Navy’s critical missions.”
