Khronos

Complete tethered dronebox for fixed or on-the-move surveillance

Khronos is a automated tethered UAS that includes an advanced quadcopter, a rugged IP54-rated landing station providing power and storage, and ground control software. The system can be deployed at fixed sites, or on a range of vehicles for on-the-move ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance). Launched in less than two minutes, the drone can hover at heights of up to 60 meters and offers up to 24 hours of persistent operation.

The tethered drone features an RF-silent “dark mode”, and can operate effectively even under GNSS-denied conditions, making it impervious to jamming and spoofing attacks. It can be equipped with a choice of two stabilized EO/IR gimbals, the NDAA-compliant NextVision Raptor or the DragonEye.
