Exail Secures €40 Million Order for K-STER Underwater Drones for Multiple Navies
Exail has signed an order for several hundred K-STER mine neutralization drones, valued at approximately €40 million, marking the second largest order in the product's history. The K-STER drones, designed for the final phase of mine countermeasures, are expendable and contribute to recurring revenue from the UMIS demining systems.
Exail's production capacity now exceeds 1,000 autonomous drones, with K-STERS manufactured at its fully operational facility in Ostend, Belgium. The K-STER system, developed in 2008, is capable of neutralizing various types of mines while ensuring crew safety from a remote command unit. Current users include the Republic of Singapore Navy and the Lithuanian Navy.
