An engineering company that also builds unmanned systems

Arpedon has designed and manufactured measurement systems since 2001 and is certified under ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 for the design and manufacture of measuring devices and unmanned systems. The defence line grew out of that: the same engineers who build condition-monitoring hardware for industry build the aerostat, its payload and its ground station.

Tethered surveillance aerostat

A portable tethered balloon with day and thermal cameras and live video downlink, developed and built by Arpedon. In service for civil protection, fire watch and support of municipal and national services.

Case study
Unmanned systems integration

Airframe, payload and ground-segment integration, from the IERAX port-emissions UAS developed with NTUA to current unmanned surface vehicle work with Greek industry partners.

Research background
Remote-controlled water cannon

Our own remote-controlled fire-fighting monitor and the controller panels behind it, for installations where people should not stand next to the fire.

Fire protection
E/M works for military installations

Electrical, mechanical and refrigeration installations delivered inside defence facilities, under the access and documentation rules they require.

Civil protection first

The aerostat was developed for municipalities and state services: wildfire watch, traffic and crowd monitoring, disaster assessment. The same system, with the same crew, serves defence and security exercises.
