What we do
Two domains · one methodSpace and autonomous systems: two program domains conducted with the same discipline of systems engineering, configuration control and verification.
ARGUS Family
Unmanned systems
Autonomous multi-domain platforms — airborne and underwater — with on-board intelligence, for surveillance, security and situational awareness.
ARGUS Family
In development
ARGUS Z
Pocket-size quad designed to see in the dark: the Scout version is vision-only, the Sentinel versions add LWIR thermal imaging, 3D LiDAR and SENTINEL autonomous surveillance. The first system in the ARGUS range intended for the market.
