The first inflatable UAV built for the sea
The DIODON HP30 is the world’s first inflatable waterproof microdrone natively made for ISR operations in maritime and aquatic environments. Uniquely built as a complete maritime-proof system, the DIODON HP30 may be used as a stand-alone or integrated in a larger ecosystem to improve situational awareness with little risk of losing your drones to corrosion or water.
Thanks to its unique features, the seaworthy DIODON HP30 systems provides game-changing maritime capabilities and opens the door to news tactical schemes.
The DIODON HP30 has been designed and manufactured thanks to 8 years of operational feedbacks from the world’s most demanding drone operators and equips all-sized defense & security boats internationally since 2022.

Hardware, software and maintenance for lasting maritime performance
A trully seaworthy system
Life at sea is demanding for high-tech systems: storage space is limited, the environment is aggressive with water, salt and shifting winds, and launch and recovery conditions are often challenging. Magnetic disturbances and long deployments add further constraints, requiring robust design and simplified upkeep.
The DIODON HP30 was built to meet these challenges. Designed from the start as a fully navalized platform, it combines resilient hardware and software with a dedicated maintenance system and smart features, such as autonomous self-righting, to deliver reliable and enduring capabilities at sea.
Made for harsh & fast evolving environments
ALL WEATHER DRONE SYSTEM
The maritime-proof design of the DIODON HP30 system enables it to operate in harsh maritime, coastal, and high-humidity environments, even as weather conditions rapidly evolve. Providing units with the capability of operating when other drone systems are downed gives them a game-changing operational edge, from heavy rain and strong winds to icy, freezing conditions.
Even in rough seas, if the drone flips over due to wave action, its Sea Flip function allows it to right itself autonomously and continue the mission without interruption.
