DriX H-9

DriX H-9 is Exail's nine-metre uncrewed surface vessel for hydrographic survey and sustained marine-data collection. Its hull, navigation system and payload interfaces support multibeam echosounders and other survey sensors while operators supervise missions remotely. Published performance reaches 13 knots, with payload operation specified for water depths down to 3,000 metres.

The vessel carries 550 litres of fuel and is rated for up to 20 days of endurance or 2,000 nautical miles of range, depending on mission conditions. A 2.1-tonne displacement keeps the platform deployable for offshore work without a conventional survey crew aboard. Survey planning, communications coverage, sensor calibration and recovery arrangements remain part of each operational deployment.
