A vehicle that lifts a large tethered drone to hold a position in the air for hours. Power comes up the tether, so flight time is limited by the vehicle's fuel, not by a battery. It carries a loudhailer, lighting or a signal relay depending on the module fitted.
| Base chassis | Ford Transit or equivalent, high roof |
|---|---|
| Aircraft | Large tethered multirotor with vehicle-fed power |
| Endurance | Limited by on-board power generation rather than battery capacity |
| Payloads | Loudhailer, high-intensity lighting, communications relay |
| Winch | Automatic tether management with tension control |
| Delivery | Complete vehicle with flight and tether training |
A battery drone gives you twenty-five minutes. A tethered drone gives you as long as the generator runs. For an incident that lasts eight hours — a flood, a search, a public event — that difference is the whole capability. The vehicle stays parked, the aircraft stays up, and the operator changes the payload rather than the battery.
The engineering is in the tether. It has to carry power up, data down, and survive wind loading without chafing or snagging. Our system uses automatic tension control and a managed winch, so the aircraft holds altitude in gusty conditions rather than being pulled around by a slack line.
Payloads are modular: a loudhailer for public communication, high-intensity lighting for night work, or a relay for extending radio coverage over a valley or a crowd. Changing between them is a ground task, done without landing the aircraft in an unsafe place.
Each configuration is a starting point — equipment, layout and finish are set per order.
Loudhailer module for announcements over large areas or crowds.
High-intensity lighting for search, scene work and event illumination.
Radio relay to extend coverage into terrain shadows.
Stabilised camera with continuous recording and downlink to the control room.
The same platform carries different fit-outs depending on who operates it.
Continuous aerial view and public announcements over a flooded area.
Sustained lighting and observation over difficult ground at night.
Crowd communication and lighting without fixed infrastructure.
Every unit is re-engineered to your specification.
Drone flight control, satellite communication, voice and video conferencing plus monitoring — a complete forward operations base.
L4 autonomous chassis with vehicle-mounted drone for combined air-and-ground unmanned patrol of parks, roads and events.
Altitude depends on the tether length, wind and payload, and is stated for the configuration you order. We do not quote a single number that ignores the payload.
Yes, all tethered systems are. The tension control and the winch are specified for the wind conditions at your site; tell us the typical and maximum wind you expect.
In almost every jurisdiction, yes. Tethered aircraft are regulated, and the buyer is responsible for the approvals. We will provide the technical data your application needs.
