Vision
52 SHIP BUILDING SHIP BUILDING 53
The unique technologies developed
by iXblue have found a variety of
fields of application, continuously
opening up new opportunities
for innovation. iXblue primarily
develops systems for particularly
demanding and technically
complex applications in extreme
environments. iXblue technology
is at work everywhere from the
ocean depths – 11,000 meters under
the sea – to outer space – some
1.5 million kilometers above
the Earth.
Energy and offshore constructioniXblue is “the” leading supplier of navigation and positioning systems for surface vessels and unmanned underwater vehicles, purpose-built for contractors serving the major oil and oilfield services companies (for installation and maintenance of subsea oil infrastructures).iXblue also works with contractors operating on behalf of the major players in offshore renewable energy, to conduct surveys and seabed mapping prior to the installation of infrastructures. Today, iXblue operates on all French offshore wind farms.
iXblue supplies the navigation and positioning systems for vessels belonging to the three largest port and marine engineering and construction companies in France (construction, port maintenance and dredging).
Multiple fields of application
Activities
Naval and land defenseNavies operating surface ships, manned submarines and drones, look to iXblue for their navigation and positioning systems.Today, iXblue is the European leader in naval navigation systems, also supplying over 35 navies worldwide.The group provides the French Land Army with navigation and platform stabilization equipment for armored vehicles and fire control systems.
GeosciencesiXblue supplies work vessels, as well as navigation, positioning and underwater imaging equipment, designed for hydrographic and oceanographic institutes conducting seabed surveying and mapping. Similarly, the group equips operators responsible for land mapping.The iXblue shipyard builds multi-mission, ocean-going vessels for complex applications to serve the needs of public and private organizations alike.
AerospaceBecause the intelligent use of oceans involves space operations, iXblue also develops equipment designed for the space environment. For over fifteen years,
the group has been working closely with Airbus Defence and Space on the development of onboard gyroscopes for satellites, in order to provide very reliable data on the rotational movements of satellites.
FishingiXblue provides fishing operators with sonar for mapping and characterizing fish shoals.
Research laboratories iXblue supplies positioning systems, optical components and motion simulators for many research institutes and laboratories worldwide.Moreover, the group works closely with prestigious institutes and laboratories in
the context of leading edge scientific developments.Examples in France include: IFREMER (the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea), CIMAP Caen (Center for Research on Ions, Materials and Photonics).
Commercial shippingWith its wealth of experience in the naval sector, iXblue is working on the design to cost of a fiber-optic gyroscope for the sea transport market.This system will provide greater agility and higher performance than the mechanical gyroscopes currently used, the aim being to reduce costs for industry players and increase operational efficiency.

Inertial solutionsWith iXblue’s inertial navigation solutions, a system can be positioned and oriented without any outside connection, whatever its location: under the sea, on land or in space. Unlike GPS-type systems, these inertial technologies can be deployed in environments where electromagnetic waves cannot pass. This unique advantage is afforded by the use of sensors (fiber-optic gyros and accelerometers), designed and manufactured entirely by iXblue, capable of autonomously determining the intrinsic movements of the system.
Underwater acoustic solutions The underwater acoustic solutions designed and manufactured by iXblue are based on the use of acoustic transducers, sensors capable of emitting and receiving
sounds underwater with great precision over very great distances (of up to several hundreds of kilometers in the case of low-frequency acoustic waves). Thanks to digital processing of these acoustic waves, it is possible to position objects and vehicles below the sea with great accuracy, and to make them communicate with each other and with surface equipment.iXblue’s acoustic solutions also enable precise imaging of objects and living organisms located on the seabed (wrecks, fish, seabed and sub bottom).
Photonics At the core of the most accurate sensors, such as fiber-optic gyros, there are devices capable of manipulating photons (light) and using
them as “perfect” sensing elements. Special iXblue optical fibers can guide the light, selecting specific wavelengths and maintaining its polarization (the direction of the light field).iXblue optical modulators are able to modify the properties of the light passing through them, inducing local slowing or acceleration. By combining these technologies, iXblue creates gyroscopic sensors, lasers and devices for very high speed space communications.
Mechatronics The Mechatronics division is the French specialist of motion simulation and positioning systems. With its recognized expertise in the fields of mechanics, electronics, automation, metrology and software, built up over some 30 years, the division offers:• Precision rate tables (1-axis,
2-axis or 3-axis) to test and calibrate equipment comprising inertial components;
• Positioners, mainly for onboard optronics and satellite communications on a range of land and air carrier systems.
To obtain best performance, iXblue has developed its own technology solutions for drives and controllers.
ShipyardSpecializing in the use of composite materials, the division develops and builds efficient, economical and ecofriendly workboats and vessels. It is one of the few shipyards in the world to master the infusion of large dimension composite parts. Using composite materials can reduce the mass of ships, avoiding over-motorization and oversized equipment.The corrosion-free ship structure also helps significantly reduce maintenance costs.
Hydrographic and oceanographic studiesSpecialized in oceanographic, biological and geophysical
measurement, the division counts its own marine biologists, as well as hydrography, oceanography and geophysics experts, and is capable of operating on any sea or ocean in the world. As a ship-owner, it has its own fleet and employs professional seamen, many of whom are divers. The division is highly specialized in the study of offshore renewable energy sites.
