Tethered Drone
Tethered Repeater, Elint or EW Jammer Carrier UAV
HV DC power and data for ISR UAVs, Communication relays and airborne EW jammers at up to 200m altitude
Use Cases - a Tethered UAV platform for:
- Tethered repeater UAV enabling 50 km strike, logistics, and ISR missions
Technical specifications
- Power input: 230 V AC from batteries (Ecoflow, Allpowers, etc.), generators, or grid — minimum 1.6 kW continuous
- Aerial power & data cable: 1.2 kW power delivery to 200 m altitude
- Data transfer: 100 Mbps via Power Line Communication (PLC) — secure and covert
- Aerial cable yield strength: 30 kg
- Aerial cable weight: 200 m ~ 1.7 kg
- Repeater control frequencies: 420-2700 MHz
- Repeater video frequencies: 4.9-6.2 GHz /3.0-4.9 GHz / 6.0-7.2 GHz
Advantages of Tethered Repeater UAV-s
- 50 km line of sight from a repeater at 200 m altitude
- Nearly unlimited flight time for continuous repeater operation
- Reduced drone attrition: tether eliminates EW vulnerability
- Field replaceable: Works with commercial off-the-shelf drones (15″ or larger, with 6S batteries) and standard components — no proprietary parts needed in theatre
- Can be UGV mounted
