Key Highlights
- Tethered drones as tactical communication relays: Tethered drones offer extended communication range, improved line-of-sight and can be rapidly deployed for tactical operations.
- Reducing ground clutter effects: By placing the antenna at a higher elevation, it reduces the chance of signal interference caused by ground-based obstacles such as buildings, vegetation, or uneven terrain.
- Tethered drones vs other equipment: Key differences between tethered drones and other equipment such as aerostats resides in the flexibility, weather tolerance, and intelligence of the tethered UAS.
