Exail has developed a new integrated autonomous maritime surveillance system.
Designed for counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS), anti-submarine and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations, Neptis is built around Exail’s Oryx series of uncrewed surface vessels (USV) and features defence payloads and an integrated mission command-and-control system. It combines sensors above, on and below the surface to create a broad operational picture.
Neptis’ command-and-control system has been designed to enable operators to supervise and coordinate multiple autonomous platforms within a common operational environment.
Exail’s Oryx O-16 USV is soon to be evaluated by the US Coast Guard, while the company’s DriX H-9 USV will be used by the US Navy as a testbed for a C-UAS system.

The September issue of the 2026 Unmanned Airspace Global Counter-UAS Systems Directory is now available. The guide is the world’s only comprehensive, continually updated directory of global C-UAS companies and systems. It itemises over 1,000 C-UAS products and services with performance details, company sales and partnerships arrangements. It is updated every month and broken down into niche sub-sectors (net-capture, missiles, intercept drones, detectors etc) to give C-UAS procurement and industry personnel a unique perspective of global C-UAS technical capabilities and market positions. It is available in word, PDF and excel formats and Unmanned Airspace readers are eligible for a range of discounts.
