The R70/R80D Tether Kit enables continuous operation of the aircraft and attached payloads in support of multiple
mission sets.
The Tether Kit consists of a detachable harness/power converter, battery replacement modules, and interfaces with off-the-shelf ground stations (Elistair Safe-T shown). Should a loss of tether power occur, the system will warn the operator and continue to fly on internal batteries until a low-power condition triggers either an automatic descent to a safe AGL altitude, or a safe auto-land.
Highly transportable, the Tether Kit is designed for use in austere environments. The system provides aircraft power at elevations approaching 100m AGL  across a range of environmental conditions and may be installed or removed from the aircraft in the field within 5 minutes.

FEATURES

• CONTINUOUS POWER TO AIRCRAFT AND PAYLOADS
  Flight durations of 24 hours for continuous mission support.
• RAPID RECONFIGURATION BETWEEN FLIGHT MODES
  Modularity permits conversion between free flying and tethered modes in minutes
• SUPPORT FOR R70/R80D AND THIRD PARTY PAYLOADS
  Wide range of possible mission sets: use either FLIR payloads or your own applicationspecifc payload enabled by the Payload Development Kit (PDK).
