Heavy-lift tethered unmanned helicopter to hoist variable-height military antennas introduced by Elistair

DARDILLY, France – Elistair in Dardilly, France, is introducing the Orion Heavy Lift tethered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for variable-height antennas in military, public safety, and homeland security applications.

As tactical communications evolve, tethered drones can help extend secured mobile networks because of their rapid deployment time and long durations in the air.

The Orion Heavy Lift unmanned helicopter capitalizes on the Orion platform that military forces and security forces use in more than 30 countries for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. missions. The Orion Heavy Lift can carry payloads of nearly nine pounds at 300 feet, and 11 pounds at 164 feet height, for flight durations of 50 hours.

Along with the Elistair Payload Development Kit, users can integrate their payloads and sensors to widen capabilities. A beta-testing program enabled integration of a CORDIS Array II from Radionor, a 5G relay and a signals intelligence payload.
