The market for tethered drones is growing exponentially as more commercial industries adopt them for their operations. Advanced technological developments in tethered UAVs have opened up new possibilities for surveillance a\u00e9rienne<\/strong>, border patrol, setting up temporary communication towers and much more.<\/p>\n Adoption of the tethered drones technology<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in the commercial sector recently began in 2016. Today, many defense analysts consider the technology as an\u00a0integral part of future bases.<\/p>\n A tethered drone<\/a><\/span> is an unmanned aerial vehicle physically connected to a ground station. More specifically, it consists of a base station\/power station (tether station), drone tether, and the professional drone which is tethered to the station.<\/p>\n Tethered drone stations<\/span><\/a>\u00a0can be operated from remote or rugged environment while performing numerous tasks. Their core functions are:<\/p>\n Drone tethers\u00a0connect the\u00a0drone\u00a0to a power station. They can be simply used for holding the drone in place or securing it\u2019s hovering position. Top\u00a0industry tethers comprise of conductors, fiber optic cables, and BPL dual lines suited for dual-comm links.<\/p>\n Tethered drones\u00a0can be deployed for varied applications, though most focus on aerial observation and telecommunications.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/elistair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Different_types_of_security_drone_-_Tethered_drones.webp” alt=”Tethered security drone” title_text=”Different_types_of_security_drone_-_Tethered_drones” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#1E1E1E” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_font=”GT America Extended Regular||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”34px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”GT America Extended Medium||||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ hover_enabled=”0″ inline_fonts=”GT America Extended Ultra Light Italic,GT America Extended Light Italic,GT America Extended Medium,GT America Extended Regular” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n To grasp the applications of tethered UAVs, it’s essential to understand the constraints of drones that are not tethered.<\/p>\n Tethered drone technology is ideally suited for border security and Forward Operating Base (FOB) protection.<\/p>\n Military reconnaissance drones can be split into four categories:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/elistair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Orion-Silvus-Radio.jpg” alt=”Soldiers setting up an Orion tethered drone with a tactical radio for defense applications” title_text=”Military Drone Deployment Operation” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#1E1E1E” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_font=”GT America Extended Regular||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”34px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”GT America Extended Medium||||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”34px” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” inline_fonts=”GT America Extended Regular,GT America Extended Medium” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Border surveillance<\/strong><\/p>\n Border security<\/a><\/span> is complicated given the geographical expanse, natural terrain demarcations, the conflict-averse nature of disputed territory, and much more. When referring to border security, we are looking at all aspects of general security, surveillance at checkpoints, and monitoring of entry\/exit points.<\/p>\n As an example, porous borders pose great natural security challenges to countries surrounded by hostile states as criminals and traffickers take advantage of the situation.<\/p>\n In parrallel, another concern is irregular or unchecked immigration \u2013 a task that requires a lot of investment in manpower to secure it. In brief, physical barriers like walls, trenches, and fences are only as good as the assets monitoring them.<\/p>\n \n FOB protection<\/strong><\/p>\n Forward operating bases are complex to defend. They require in particular a great deal of manpower and assets to maintain an edge over the enemy should there be sporadic attacks. Also, infrastructural challenges are another factor affecting the ability of military bases to maintain communication at the FOB.<\/p>\n Mounted cameras can protect warfighters but cannot see as far as aerial cameras. Whereas Tethered drones provide aerial surveillance over a wide optical range<\/strong>. Especially with impressive zoom abilities, the cameras can detect vehicles<\/strong> and other large objects 10 km away.<\/p>\n Another upside to tethered drones is their endurance. Where guards are rotated in 8-10 hour shifts, tethered drones can fly long enough to overlap guard rotations.<\/p>\n \n Tactical communications<\/strong><\/p>\n Areas manned by military personnel are vulnerable to attack and infiltration. Modern technological advancements expose vulnerabilities on unmanned aircraft to hacking.<\/p>\n The same applies to counter-UAS technologies, drone jamming technology, and infiltration equipment. Tethered drones are immune to a cyberattack or counter-UAS systems. The tether cable is a tactical communication link<\/strong> safeguarding the drone from infiltration.<\/p>\n \n \n \n In addition to the defense sector, tethered drones are widely used for the securization of people and goods<\/a><\/span> in the public and private areas. With their minor logisitcal footprint<\/strong> and their ability to cover wide areas at a glance they are a critical assets for security operators.<\/p>\n Indeed, a permanent eye in the sky with immediate video feedback<\/strong> provides a key situational awareness and considerably facilitates interventions. Examples of missions can be event surveillance, permiter securization or crowd monitoring to mention just a few.<\/p>\n \n First responders and emergency telecommunications<\/strong><\/p>\n In emergencies, tethered drones provide a permanent view of hard-to-reach areas. They help responders see dangers and victims in real time. This allows for better coordination and a more effective response.<\/p>\n When equipped with communication tools, they can create temporary networks. These networks spread cellular, high-frequency radio, Wi-Fi, and 3G\/4G signals over a wide area.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/elistair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/photo-drone-shot-of-aerial-pumper-fire-truck-fighting-hay-shed-fire-in-victoria-australia-october-1217257540.jpg” alt=”Firefighters using aerial pumper fire trucks to battle a hay shed fire” title_text=”Firefighters Battling a Hay Shed Fire” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#1E1E1E” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_font=”GT America Extended Regular||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ header_2_font_size=”34px” header_2_line_height=”1.6em” header_3_font=”GT America Extended Medium||||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”34px” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” inline_fonts=”GT America Extended Medium” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Autonomy\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Tethered drones offer autonomous flight allowing the operators to focus on their mission more than on the piloting of the drone.<\/p>\n Flexible legislation\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Legislation around tethered drones is flexible as several rules on commercial drones do not apply. In some countries, tethered drones are not seen as drones because they stay in one place while connected to the ground. In other countries, users of tethered drone systems are not mandated to have them registered as their free-flying counterparts. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) allows the use of these UAVs.<\/p>\n Limited spatial area<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A tethered UAS operates within a limited spatial area restricted by the tether. This removes the risks of fly aways and crash on people or infrastructures.<\/p>\n Safe data transfer<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 While free-flying drones may occasionally lose their data links to interrupted flights or lost data links, tethered drones benefit from an uninterrupted yet secure line of communication between the ground station and the aircraft.<\/p>\n Dissuasion<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Tethered drones are an overt deterrence mechanism. When operating a drone in public areas, safety is paramount.
