LANTERN is a tethered drone system that deploys and lands on-the-move at the press of a button. While deployed, LANTERN autonomously follows its host vehicle or vessel while providing continuous ISR and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communications by elevating camera and radio payloads up to 200 feet. It can also perform five-minute tetherless scout missions, making LANTERN the most rugged and versatile tethered drone on the market.
The VULTURE is a maritime-ready tethered UAS that has been engineered to withstand the harshest of conditions at sea, and is ideal for enhancing vessel safety through persistent overwatch, as well as boosting communications ranges. Housed in a rugged containerized enclosure, it can be deployed rapidly in under 3 minutes, and provides semi-autonomous takeoff, following, and landing without the need for recharging or battery changing.
UMAR (Unmanned Multirotor Aerial Relay) is a modular and portable tethered drone unit that can be seamlessly integrated into a variety of host platforms, including naval vessels, trucks and trailers. It offers automatic takeoff, landing, flight and vehicle following, maintaining reliable operation and secure communications with no need for additional stabilization even under heavy pitch, roll and heave.
The versatile UAV deployed by UMAR can be equipped with a range of payloads, including radio equipment and ISR sensors. Operating at altitudes of up to 500 feet, it is ideal for EO/IR camera deployment and radio range extension. It has been selected by the US Navy for critical maritime over-the-horizon communications, and incorporates a secure datalink with robust protection against jamming and hacking attacks.
