CERVELLO · on-board autonomy
Onboard, not in the cloudPerception and decision processed directly on the platform, without relying on external connections.
Perception
Situational awareness
Multiple sensors and data fusion for a real-time map of the environment and objects of interest.
Navigation
Robust autonomy
Reliable navigation and return even in degraded environments or without satellite signal, with route memory.
Surveillance
Operational persistence
Extended autonomous surveillance with energy management and automatic mission resumption.
03
Civil uses
ARGUS systems serve civil applications: infrastructure inspection, search and rescue, security, emergencies, environmental monitoring and situational awareness.
Every activity is conducted in compliance with the rules applicable in the country of origin and of destination, including export-control obligations and end-user verification.

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 includes ARGUS R (flying-wing unmanned aircraft for reconnaissance and surveillance), ARGUS X (autonomous underwater vehicle for maritime surveillance) and ARGUS Z (pocket quadrotor micro-drone).
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.
Which ARGUS system is closest to market?
ARGUS Z, the pocket-size quadcopter micro-drone, is the first system in the family aimed at the market and is currently in development.
