about us
Tethered Drone Systems (TDS) have created a Tethered UAV, the only one fully designed, developed and manufactured in the UK with its capabilities, with extended flight duration of 24 hours or more and with secure communication via the fibre optics.
TDS continues to develop a complete tethered drone platform with multiple payload options and secure communications via the high bandwidth fibre optic cable. In addition TDS has been engaged in a contract with the MOD for Navy X – (see News page) to develop a ground power, winch system with UAS power supply unit for a large drone platform. The video shows the size of the drone and the capability for large payloads, continuous flight and eventually operational deployment from a warship.
The extensive R&D phase has resolved many problems and taught TDS a great deal about this type of tethered drone capability, this learning will be now be engineered into the TDS platform to offer clients additional operational deployments and payload options to meet even the most extreme needs.
