Exail announces a new order worth approximately 40 million Euros for several hundred additional K-Ster mine neutralization vehicles placed via NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).
This order is part of the framework agreement established in 2024, which allows all the Alliance navies to procure these systems rapidly through a streamlined acquisition process.
The K-Ster vehicles ordered by European navies will be produced in Exail’s assembly lines in Ostend, Belgium. Opened in 2022, the site is now fully operational and supports major MCM modernization programs.
Jérôme Bendell, Head of Exail Maritime Systems Business line, said:
“We are very proud to see European navies renewing their confidence in our mine neutralization solutions. This new order confirms both the proven operational reliability of K-Ster and Exail’s central role in supporting the modernization of MCM capabilities for NATO navies. With our Ostend site now fully scaled up, we are prepared to support navies in the deployment of next-generation MCM capabilities.”
