has announced the launch of ORION UAS, the next generation of tethered drone systems. With a significant reduction of operating costs and staff expenses and an extreme ease-of-use, smart tethered drones are now mission-critical, offering flexibility and a broad application scope.
Designed for semi-persistent aerial surveillance and telecommunications needs, ORION UAS can achieve the most demanding missions for law enforcement, private and public safety, national security, assets protection or emergency communications and crisis management.
Mission capacity can be extended with endurance up to 10 hours and more. Fully designed for extended flight times, ORION UAS is based on strong industrial components. It integrates Elistair’s patented micro- tether system Safe-T and ensures a secured and continuous power supply from the ground. With its high-grade industrial motors and multiple redundancies including autopilot sensors, motorization, power distribution, logical controls, and an emergency parachute system, ORION UAS has been engineered to endure extensive flight times in demanding environments. The structure of the ORION drone is designed to sustain fierce winds with a maximum stability for its size-factor.
Thanks to its day and night surveillance camera combining state of the art gimbal stabilization and crystal- clear imagery with low latencies, with its X30 optical zoom, ORION UAS can detect a moving person over kilometers. Using both the Safe-T micro-tether with our high-speed and interference-free data transmission technology, and Flir and Sony leading industrial sensors, ORION UAS camera is the ultimate solution for persistent aerial surveillance
Fully automated, ORION integrates redundancies and smart emergency procedures at every level, allowing you to focus on your mission and on the data, while drastically reducing the risks for human mistakes. With its modular structure, ORION is easily carriable and deployable wherever your missions take you.
