Being able to combine our ExoOPSTM – Mission Design product with agile product development techniques is the perfect match and a truly innovative and disruptive way of delivering a solution for the French Ministry of Defence,” Sébastien Duménil, Exotrail’s chief commercial officer said in a statement.
