This relies on important innovations:

1. Adaptive Retraction Mechanism

Paddles automatically retract on impact and redeploy when the obstacle is gone.

2. Intelligent Synchronization & Continuous Geometry

If one paddle retracts, the others on the same wheel follow in sequence - maintaining a smooth rolling cycle.

The paddle shape ensures that at least one paddle always contacts the ground, preventing random deployments and improving stability.

3. Adjustable Wheel Height

The system can adapt wheel height based on water level, vehicle load, or pitch changes due to acceleration and braking.

4. Optimized Paddle Angle

Paddles are angled intelligently to generate lift at the front and avoid water or mud being flung backward - this improves directional stability and reduces drag.

5. Airless Tires with Flexible Spokes

The tires are airless, built with soft, flexible spokes. This allows paddles to pass through the tread and nest between spokes without affecting the tire’s flexibility or sealing - a major breakthrough.

These five solutions are among those protected by patent applications PCT-FR2025-000054 and FR2503936, which will be extended internationally.

They are essential to making retractable paddles function reliably.
 

5. Retractable Paddle Tracks

Paddle deployment can be manually controlled by the operator, managed by an onboard computer (AI), or triggered automatically via a spring mechanism whose force is inversely proportional to terrain hardness. On solid ground, the spring remains inactive; on muddy terrain, it partially engages; and in water, it fully activates.

A vehicle equipped with such tracks moves effortlessly across solid ground, mud, and marshy environments. It can travel swiftly over water, overcome submerged obstacles, and land without concern for ground conditions.

All track types are compatible: metallic link tracks, elastomer belts, or semi-metallic hybrids.

We believe this technology will open up new possibilities for both civilian and specialized vehicle applications, from all-terrain exploration to emergency response and beyond.

The potential is immense

ARWIMS technology targets various sectors, ranging from automotive to marine and military. It promises economies of scale and opens new market segments for all types of vehicles.

We are thrilled to share that several major industrial groups in the tire industry - and more broadly in land, water, and air transportation - have already signed confidentiality agreements with us and are actively exploring this technology.

ARWIMS technology could potentially penetrate several multi-billion euro markets, including automotive, marine and military equipment.

This technology could not only create new market segments for truly amphibious vehicles, opening up unprecedented business opportunities, but also improve the efficiency of tires in all their applications.

The technology developed by ARWIMS thus presents a significant potential for disruption in several industrial sectors. Its innovative approach to solving the challenges of land and water mobility could lead to a major transformation in the design and use of vehicles.

It could well represent a major advance in the field of mobility, with considerable economic potential on a global scale.
