Custom-made battery for the DIODON HP30 waterproof ISR drone

Interview with Roman LUCIANI, Chief Technical Officer at DIODON

Context

DIODON is a leader in maritime drone technology. The company has developed the DIODON HP30, the first inflatable and waterproof drone. This drone is specifically designed for maritime surveillance and reconnaissance operations, providing essential intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities for applications such as defense, security, and rescue.

For this ambitious project, DIODON required custom-made, reliable batteries capable of withstanding the extreme conditions of marine environments and military requirements.

Challenges

The main challenges faced by DIODON included:

Water and corrosion resistance: The batteries had to be completely dustproof and able to operate in humid and salty environments.
Autonomy and performance: Sufficient flight autonomy for extended missions was crucial.
Integration and compatibility: The batteries had to integrate seamlessly into the existing DIODON HP30 drone system without adding significant weight.

Battery solutions
provided by TYVA Energie

TYVA Energie addressed these challenges by providing custom-made lithium batteries with the following features:

High performance and autonomy: The batteries offer a high energy capacity, allowing the DIODON HP30 to perform missions lasting 30 minutes or more, essential for surveillance and reconnaissance operations.
Lightweight and modular: TYVA Energie’s solutions are compact and lightweight, facilitating their integration into the drone without compromising its performance.

Results

Thanks to the custom-made batteries supplied by TYVA Energie, DIODON was able to:

Improve reliability: The DIODON HP30 can now operate in harsh maritime conditions without the risk of failure due to humidity or corrosion.
Increase flight autonomy: Missions can be extended, providing better coverage and operational efficiency.
Optimize overall performance: Successful battery integration has helped maintain the drone’s lightness and maneuverability, essential for its operations.

Working with TYVA Energie has been an exceptional experience. Their custom-designed batteries not only met our stringent technical requirements but also exceeded our expectations in terms of performance and reliability. Thanks to their expertise, our DIODON HP30 drone is now equipped to tackle the most demanding challenges of marine environments and the uncompromising needs of defense, security, and rescue.
