MISSION POSSIBILITIES
MAJOR SUBSYSTEMS
Longer Flights. Higher Altitudes.
We customize our Tactical Aerostat Systems for your mission requirements.
DILATION PANEL
- Equipped for missions requiring flight times greater than 8-12 hours
- Allows the aerostat to maintain pressure through the diurnal (day/night) cycle and due to changes in flight altitude and weather conditions
EXTENDED TETHER LENGTH
- Equipped for missions requiring flight altitudes greater than 500 ft AGL
POWERED TETHERS
- Power conductors and fiber optics can be integrated with the tether based on payload equipment needs
Specifications
System performance is dependent on flight altitude, operational elevation, payload weight, and weather conditions.
