Elistair has launched a tethered UAS called Orion, the company announced on 2 March.
Designed for semi-persistent aerial surveillance and telecommunications relay, the Orion UAS can be used for private and public safety, law enforcement, national security, asset protection, emergency communications and crisis management operations.
The UAS integrates the company’s Safe-T micro-tether system that ensures a secured and continuous power supply from the ground.
Equipped with high grade motors and multiple redundancies including motorisation, autopilot sensors, logical controls, power distribution and an emergency parachute system, the Orion UAS has been engineered to endure extensive flight times in demanding environments.
The system’s day and night surveillance camera combines gimbal stabilisation, crystal-clear imagery with low latencies and X30 optical zoom.
