Editorial summaries
DriX
Exail's DriX is the commercial-surface entry of the maritime cohort: an autonomous surface vessel for hydrographic survey and defense mine countermeasures, running the CortiX autonomy stack (supervised autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance, fusing camera, infrared, LiDAR, and radar across surface and underwater). It is made by Exail, the merged ECA Group and iXblue entity (France), and is dual-use across survey and defense. DEPLOY records it at the vehicle level (the DriX USV, not the Exail parent). It is sold to survey operators and navies on contract; there is no consumer price.
REMUS (100 / 300 / 620)
HII's REMUS family (REMUS 100/300/600/620) is the legacy-prime of the defense-subsea cohort: autonomous undersea vehicles for mine countermeasures, hydrographic survey, ISR, and electronic warfare, built by HII's Mission Technologies division, with a lineage dating to 2001 (Hydroid and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution heritage; HII acquired Hydroid in 2020 for about $350 million). The REMUS 620 (introduced 2022) is a newer medium-class long-endurance UUV with up to 110 hours of endurance and 275 nautical miles of range, and a torpedo-tube-launched 'Yellow Moray' variant was fielded from the submarine USS Delaware in 2025. Cap-flag: large procurement-ceiling figures (such as a 200-vehicle order) are orders, not delivered counts. It is defense procurement; there is no consumer price.
