Product Description

Intelligent Tether Drone Power System for Hexacopter UAVs: Enabling Efficient Operations

In today's demanding aerial operations, hexacopter UAVs face critical limitations due to short flight times. The Intelligent Tether Drone Power System offers a robust solution by delivering uninterrupted power through advanced tether technology. This system enhances mission efficiency, reliability, and endurance, making it an essential upgrade for hexacopter operations.

Product Description

Typical characteristics

1). Small size, light weight, backpack storage, easy to carry.

2). The operation is simple, and the entire process of drone takeoff  and landing does not require the operation of the tethering box.

3). Comprehensive input and output protection function, fault elimination and self recovery.

4). Button type wire reel in&out function automated.

5). The on-board power unit output at constant voltage, and the standby battery has no charging, no discharging and no battery capacity loss.

Adaptive drone

1). Support flight altitude: 30-50m (tethered cable 33m, 55 meters is an optional).

2). Support takeoff weight: 1-3kg (drone power efficiency varies, this data is for reference only).

3). Support flight duration: ≥ 8h (the system can support working duration, which depends on the structure and electrical fatigue resistance of the drone).

Functional characteristics

1). Automated cable reel in&out function: Passive wire reel out, long press the button to automatically reel in cable, and backup battery to activate cable reel in function in case of power cut off.

2). Protection function: Strong and weak current separation design. Input overvoltage and undervoltage protection. Output overvoltage, output overcurrent, output short circuit, output over temperature protection, fault elimination and self recovery.

 3). Equipment portability: With a backpack design, the backpack can be equipped with a complete tethering system that includes a tethering box, onboard power supply, and other accessories. The overall weight is 5.0 ± 0.2kg. 

4). 1800W/3500Wh outdoor mobile power bank or 1200W/2.5L generator is recommended.

Applications

The applications of Tethered Drone

The tethered UAV can be applied in situations and environments that require long-time operation, making up for the shortcomings of short endurance time, faster power consumption with more mounts, and the need for frequent battery replacement. It expands the industry application of UAV.

These products are used and deployed by armed forces, law enforcement, civil security, and private security in over 20 countries for event protection, perimeter surveillance, border protection, radio communications, long-duration health monitoring, emergency communication, traffic management, environment inspections, scientific research and many more.
