Established in 2017, DIODON Drone Technology is a French company specializing in the design and production of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) engineered for maritime and coastal operations. The firm was founded by Antoine Tournet and Romain Benalla, who developed the initial concept from a student project into a commercial enterprise. The company's core offering is a range of compact, all-terrain drones designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, specifically water and dust, holding an IP67 rating. A key design element is their inflatable structure, which allows the drones to be both buoyant and shock-absorbent, enhancing their durability and enabling them to operate from water surfaces. This patented feature also contributes to their compact and easily transportable nature.
DIODON's business model revolves around the direct sale of its drone systems and associated services to a specialized clientele. The primary markets served include defense, public safety, and offshore industries. For military and naval forces, the drones provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities in challenging maritime settings. First responders and civil security agencies utilize them for search and rescue missions, disaster assessment, and surveillance, particularly in coastal or flooded areas. The offshore energy and maritime infrastructure sectors employ the drones for inspection and maintenance tasks. The company produces several models, including the DIODON HP30 and DIODON MP40, which are distinguished by their payload capacity and flight endurance. The systems are designed for rapid deployment, becoming operational in under a minute, a critical factor for their target user base. DIODON manufactures its products in France, focusing on providing robust and reliable aerial tools for critical missions in demanding environments.
