Frequently asked questions
The most searched answersWhat is the ARGUS family?
ARGUS is EMT Aerospace’s family of autonomous unmanned systems: multi-domain platforms that share a common onboard autonomy core (CERVELLO), for surveillance, civil security and situational awareness.
Which drones are part of the ARGUS family?
The family comprises ARGUS Z, a fixed-wing drone with a V-tail; ARGUS R, a winged platform with four ducted rotors; and ARGUS X, an autonomous underwater vehicle.
What is CERVELLO?
CERVELLO is the on-board autonomy architecture common to the ARGUS systems, which we are developing: perception, navigation and persistent surveillance processed directly on the platform, without depending on the cloud or external connections.
Are ARGUS drones designed to work without GPS?
Yes. ARGUS autonomy is designed to operate even in degraded or satellite-signal-denied environments, with route memory for a reliable return.
Are ARGUS systems intended for civil uses?
Yes. The ARGUS family is developed for civil and professional applications: inspection, search and rescue, security, emergencies and monitoring. Any future supply is assessed case by case for end user, end use, destination and applicable authorisations.
Are specifications and delivery dates available?
ARGUS Z is in development. Configurations, dimensions, endurance, payload and availability will be shared once consolidated and verified.
