As technology advances, civilian and military applications of unmanned aerial systems are rapidly increasing. In aerial imaging and data collection applications, unmanned aircraft systems (" UAVs "), especially those with rotorcraft structures, have several advantages over fixed wing systems due to their hover and vertical take-off and landing features. Despite these advantages, their use in the tactical field is limited due to the disadvantage of short hover times. With current technology, the flight time of rotorcraft drones is between 30 and 60 minutes. Especially in applications such as communication relaying, wide-area surveillance and traffic monitoring, rotorcraft drones cannot be used or have limited use due to the need for long-term operation.
Another requirement for drones is that they need to communicate. Data (sensors, images, control, telemetry) communication is provided through a wireless communication network established with the operator. Especially in environments where signal interrupters are used (military applications, gatherings, meetings, etc.), turning off signal interrupters to use drones creates security vulnerabilities. On the other hand, due to the inability to transmit high-dimensional data over wireless data connections, image data in particular is compressed to less usable levels.
This makes it difficult to use for applications that require high-resolution data, such as wide-area monitoring software. Encryption is also used to ensure that wireless communications are not penetrated, but it cannot achieve 100% security.
The tethered drone solution is primarily based on leveraging the advantages of the rotor system, such as hover, vertical take-off and landing, while using cables to connect to the ground unit to transmit data and power, thereby increasing flight time and data security. Unlike conventional drones, tethered drones can stay in the air for a long time, often up to 24 hours, without having to land to replace batteries or refuel. The purpose of this white paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of what tethered drones are, their components, benefits, use cases and applications. We'll also explore why Zenith Aerotech tethered drones are a popular choice for various industries
