Advantages of Actively Tethered UAS for Public Safety
Actively Tethered UAS offer several distinct advantages for public safety missions
Enhanced Safety: The tether acts as a physical safeguard, mitigating the risk of flyaways and uncontrolled descents, while adding power, control, and communications redundancy over the tether compared to traditional piloted drones. Intelligent use of a persistently taut tether provides a fully piloting-free operation, reducing operational risks and operator training thresholds.
Extended Flight Time: The continuous power supply from the tether enables extended flight times, ideal whenever public safety responses require operations longer than a traditional drone’s single-battery flight time.
Real-Time Situational Awareness: The tether allows for real-time transmission of high-quality live streaming and system controls, providing critical situational awareness to incident commanders and first responders without the dependency on remotely-transmitted video and controls.
Versatility: Actively Tethered UAS can be rapidly deployed in various scenarios with fully GPS-independent operations within seconds of arriving on scene.
