An unmanned boat has completed a long 1,100-nautical-mile voyage

Exail’s drone boat completed the unprecedented transit from La Ciotat – France, to Troia – Portugal.

French company’s DriX O-16 transoceanic unmanned vessel also crossed the Strait of Gibraltar, one of the world’s busiest maritime passages.

The vessel completed the voyage in six days without port calls.

The vessel operated in supervised autonomy from Exail’s Remote Operation Center.

Built for endurance, the unmanned boat can conduct up to 30 days of autonomous operation.

The boat is claimed to offer a range of 3,500 nautical miles and can conduct transoceanic missions in the most challenging environments.
