Why Tethered?
Persistence
The tether provides constant power to the UAV, enabling persistent surveillance without the limitations of battery life.
Secure Data Transmission
A physical connection ensures real-time, interference-resistant communications, reducing risk of jamming or interception.
Regulatory Compliance
Tethered drones are often classified as safer alternatives to free-flying drones, making them more suitable for extended operations within controlled, uncontrolled, or restricted airspace.
