What is tethered drone?
The advent of tethered drones began in 2016 as they were involved in the 1military system. A tethered drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle tethered to the ground. It consists of a base station on the ground and the drone, which is connected to the station through the tether (cable). The drone can be operated remotely to perform specific tasks. Tethered drones can be used for various applications, although most of them are focused on aerial observation and telecommunications. In particular, tethered UAVs are perfect for data capture and telemetry due to the reliability of tethered connections.
1. Typical characteristics
1). Easy to operate, no need to operate tethering box during UAV flight.
2). Comprehensive input and output protection function, fault elimination and self recovery.
3). Automatic take-up, and manual button to rewind when power cut off.
4). The on-board power supply has output at constant voltage, and the backup battery remains fully charged throughout the entire process without any power loss.
Carrying and Transportation: The box is equipped with handles and foot pads, and can be optionally equipped with a pallet components and a pull rod roller for carrying and transportation.
2. Adaptive drone
1). Support flight altitude: 200m/300m (tethered cable 220m/330m, reserved safety length).
2). Support takeoff weight: 60-90kg (drone power efficiency varies, this data is for reference only).
3). Support flight duration: ≥ 48h (the system can support working duration, which depends on the structure and electrical fatigue resistance of the drone).
3.Functional characteristics
1). Safety protection: Strong and weak current separation design, with input undervoltage, input overvoltage. Output overvoltage, output overcurrent, output short circuit, and output overheating protection functions. The input and output withstand voltage is ≥ 3000VDC, and the cable insulation layer withstand voltage is ≥ 3500VDC.
2). Data communication: Wired and wireless communication functions, remote display and control, data viewing and downloading; fiber optic communication optional.
3). Data display: The touch screen displays data and status of output voltage, output current, output power, cable reel out length, operating time, equipment temperature, total power consumption, and fault records.
4). Setting and adjustment: Support the setting and adjustment of parameters such as tension and speed for reel in&out cable, date and time, output voltage, safety meters, alarm temperature, etc. and support Chinese and English.
5). Alarm and reminder: When a fault occurs, the screen displays the fault content, and the buzzer sounds a reminder.
6). Carrying and Transportation: The box is equipped with handles and foot pads, and can be optionally equipped with a pallet components and a pull rod roller for carrying and transportation.
7). Automated winch reel: Synchronously retracting and releasing cables following the takeoff and landing of the drone, automatic adjusting the tension, and backup battery to activate cable reel in function in case of power cut off.
8). Water proof design, CNC manufacturing
