Detachable Tethered UAV for Mission Critical Surveillance

FlyFocus’s new CableGuard is detachable tethered UAV for civilian and law enforcement markets, at 5kW, the UAV is rated as the most powerful tethered type available on the market today.

In tethered mode, the UAV’s electric motors and onboard electronics are powered via the tether cable, delivering 400VDC from the ground station which let it perform surveillance virtually indefinitely. When the UAV untethers for free flight, onboard batteries seamlessly take over the vehicle’s power supply, allowing up to 30 minutes’ flight with a single daylight camera payload and 20 minutes with a dual thermal plus daylight camera setup. These untethered flight times give FlyFocus a competitive edge for their surveillance applications.

FlyFocus uses 5kW of power available through the tether cable to enhance both the UAV’s performance and its functionality. With eight motors, it can be safely landed even with two motors disabled. The two cameras provided are a full HD type with 10x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom and a night vision IR 640p camera with 4x digital zoom.
