About this report
Exail Technologies is a French high-tech industrial group formed in 2022 by merging ECA Group and iXblue. With over 2,000 employees worldwide and operations in 80+ countries, it combines ECA’s maritime robotics expertise (USVs, AUVs, ROVs) and iXblue’s navigation, photonics and inertial technologies.
The group designs and manufactures the full technology stack – from components and sensors to complete systems – in-house. Its major industrial sites include Exail Robotics in La Garde (Toulon), which “designs and produces automated systems such as surface drones (USV), autonomous underwater drones (AUV) and ground robots (UGV)”, and a naval yard in La Ciotat where the DriX USVs are built.
