Groton-based ThayerMahan Inc., a world leader in autonomous maritime security solutions, announced today that it has teamed with iXblue, a global high-tech company specializing in navigation, acoustic positioning, and underwater imaging, to provide unmanned maritime and survey services using iXblue’s DriX Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) in North America as well as in other parts of the world.

Kership has selected iXblue navigation solutions to equip the three new offshore patrol vessels (OPV 90 type) being built for the Argentine Navy. The Marins inertial navigation systems and Netans data distribution units (DDU) will provide the navigation for these three future ships.

During the month of October, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Ship Thomas Jefferson integrated and operated a DriX, an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) created by the French technology company iXblue.

iXblue, a global high-tech company specializing in the design and manufacturing of advanced navigation technologies, and L3Harris Technologies, an agile global aerospace and defence technology innovator, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding for strengthening iXblue's support system throughout the Australasian region - Naval News.

iXblue's Marins Inertial Navigation Systems has been selected to equip the U.S. Navy's Freedom-class Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) 27, 29 and 31.

At MAST Asia 2019, the defense exhibition and conference currently held near Tokyo, Japan, French company iXblue unveiled its SEADRiX USV for persistent anti-submarine warfare missions.

Following its recent success with the US Coast Guard, the France-based iXblue continues to promote its range of solutions on the US soil, backed by its two local factory plants in Providence (Rhode Island) and Denver (Colorado).

The French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA) has selected iXblue's Gaps acoustic positioning system for its Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) positioning and monitoring applications.
