Our mission
A team driven to support navies
In a world facing resource scarcity, climate change, and renewed maritime tensions, the sea has once again become a strategic domain.
DIODON Drone Technology exists to support those who operate in complex maritime environments. Our mission is to provide reliable, robust, and easy-to-deploy solutions that extend the reach and enhance the capabilities of navies and maritime professionals worldwide, from aerial systems to integrated architectures and tailored developments.
Guided by the values of defense, innovation, and commitment, we work every day to strengthen security, sovereignty, and maritime awareness, serving those who safeguard our oceans.

Our story
From idea to operational systems
DIODON Drone Technology emerged in Toulouse, France, in 2017 from a bold idea: bringing aerial capabilities to places where none could go. What began as a student project at the leading French engineering school quickly became a focused engineering mission, designing systems not just built to withstand the sea, but shaped by it.
In close collaboration with special forces, navies, and first responders, we learned directly from the field, turning prototypes into the world’s first inflatable and fully waterproof UAVs. Continuous iteration and real-world feedback forged our identity and defined our approach: design, test, improve.
Today, DIODON brings together R&D, production, and integration under one roof, building mission-ready aerial systems and shaping the next generation of air-sea robotics.
