iXblue says it has been chosen by France-based Naval Group to equip two of its Gowind-class corvettes with Marins navigation systems and Netans data distribution and processing units. Naval Group has used iXblue’s navigation solutions for several local and export programmes. The technology was selected for the French Navy’s future FDI, the new Astute-class nuclear attack submarines and the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers of the UK Royal Navy.
