Land Defence

Land Defence System from M/s Exail, France

With the increasing threats of GNSS spoofing and jamming on the battlefields, the need for reliable, high performance inertial navigation becomes critical. Our land inertial navigations systems (INS) benefit from over 30 years of Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) development and improvements.

Bundled in the Advans Series range, Exails land INS come in three level of performance: Advans Ursa, Advans Lyra, and Advans Vega. All three INS can cover a wide array of missions, from undisturbed navigation in GNSS-denied environment for land vehicles to artillery pointing.

Complete range

Complete range covering all operational needs

The performance of a fiber-optic gyroscope can be changed by altering the length and diameter of its coil, making it adaptable to a wide range of performance needs. Performance can further be increased by pushing back the technological limits of the optical components that are used within the FOG gyroscope.

We have complete mastery over all the components that are integrated into its systems, from its own optical fiber and components, to its accelerometers and algorithms, the company can push the limits of the FOG technology to have it reach new peaks of performance.

Jamming & Spoofing Threats

Ready to Face GNSS Jamming & Spoofing Threats

So far, land forces mostly relied on GNSS (GPS, Galileo…) based solutions for their navigation needs. This proved effective enough for asymmetrical conflicts. With the increasing tensions between global and local superpowers, this might not be enough anymore. High intensity conflicts brings a whole new range of threats, among which spoofing and jamming. Losing critical battlefield navigation due to the jamming of the GNSS signal could lead to failure of operations, or worse. Hence the need for a reliable, high performance, gnss-free option

North-finding, Pure Inertial Navigation without GNSS

Equipped with a north-finding gyrocompass, all Advans Series INS can start and work with or without GNSS, resulting in undisrupted and accurate navigation. Should you need an INS/GNSS hybrid, our INS can be bundled with Advans GNSS.

Combat-proven

Trusted by Key Players

Advans Series relies on FOG technology, which benefits from decades of feedback and is being operated by over 60 navies and armies around the world. This solid state technology is extremely robust and can endure high stress in all environments. Whether it is cannon fire or rocket launches

Reliable and Time-tested FOG Technology

All of Advans Series have powerful fiber-optics gyroscopes built-in. This trusted, high performance technology allow for impressively fast and accurate alignment and high bias stability in the long run.

Hassle-free Solution

Robust & Maintenance-free

Being a solid-state technology, it is highly reliable, requires no periodic maintenance, and thus has a low cost of ownership. Lastly Our FOG are sturdy and well adapted to harsh environments.

Exail

All of our INS, including Advans Series, are manufactured by Vista. On top of the inherent benefits of handling vertical and horizontal integrations, this means our solutions are ITAR-free.

Plug & Play System

Advans Series are field-level installation systems. They can be installed by any technical team on the field at battalion level. This means that at no point should you need to go back to the maintenance bases to install or switch our INS.
