CableGuard

First UAV of this class with unlimited mobility and flight time

How does it work?

Innovative ground tethered power system (U.S. patent pending) allows CableGuard for continuous observation of a strategic area from an altitude of 70 meters or more.

When there is a need for a dynamic flight the cable is automatically detached and furled. After the mission, the UAV may be reconnected to the ground power unit.

CABLEGUARD FEATURES

WATERPROOF

All system components (UAV, ground power station, antenna tracker, GCS) were designed with the toughest weather conditions in mind.

LONG RANGE TRANSMISSION

Tracking antenna with digital, encrypted video and data link allows for up to 10km of range in Europe (CE) and 15km in USA (FCC).

ADDITIONAL BATTERY

The inbuilt battery lets CableGuard continue it’s flight for up to 30 minutes after detachment.

UNLIMITED MOBILITY

The ease and speed of assembling individual elements of the set allows for trouble-free transport and quick surveillance place change.

FULLY AUTONOMOUS

UAV is equipped with an advanced autopilot and additional computer unit. Such a combination allows for creating even the most complicated autonomous missions through simple graphical user interface.

TETHERED POWER

The high voltage power supply system developed by our company allows the transmission of electricity to the drone by a lightweight and durable 70 meter long cable. Thanks to this solution, UAV can stay in the air 24/7.

REDUNDANCY

All critical systems used for orientation in space have been doubled, and in some cases tripled. Autopilot has a safety coprocessor that allows safe landing in the event of main unit failure. The Failsafe function allows the drone to return home in case of radio communication failure.
