A growing civilian and defence ecosystem

Elhytec is deploying its technology in two communities central to its market: international meteorology and defence. The company presented its solution at the International Meteorological Technology World Expo in Vienna. It also demonstrated its process to the French Defence Innovation Agency and Future Combat Command at the 7th Armoured Brigade’s innovation day in Besançon, exhibited at the Mainfonds aerostat show, and was selected for the Dutch defence programme “Cohort Booster Access Defense & Tech”. 

 

Our partners

Suppliers. Over 15 years, we have built a network of expert partners in precision machining, automation and control systems, and hydrogen prototype commissioning. Their responsiveness and independence help us maintain a fast pace in deploying our hydrogen generator for balloon and aerostat inflation while controlling cost and schedule. 

Customers. Discussions on strategic partnerships are gaining momentum. We have built a close relationship with defence users, whose artillery units have a continuing need for autonomous radiosonde operations, as well as civilian organisations whose use of surveillance aerostats is growing. 

Supporters. Many institutional and private organisations have supported us for years.
