In its sponsor profile for the SMi Loitering Munitions 2026 conference in London, Artron describes itself as a defence technology company focused on munition systems, safety-critical electronics and platform integration. It names ILGAR, a man-portable loitering munition described as in service, as the lead product of its portfolio, together with an AOP-4187-compliant ESAD for loitering munitions that it says is in operational use. Trade press reports from IDEF 2023 attribute the development of ILGAR to the Turkish company Spira Teknoloji; the relationship between the two companies is not publicly documented.
