Problem
Persistent surveillance and communication in areas lacking GPS or with challenging terrain is difficult to achieve with standard drones due to limited flight time and signal range. Maintaining continuous operation requires frequent battery swaps or repositioning, creating logistical overhead and potential gaps in coverage.
Solution
Huless manufactures the Highline-T, a tethered drone system designed for long-endurance aerial operations. The system provides continuous power and data transmission through a physical cable, enabling 24/7 monitoring and communication capabilities. The Highline-T can host various payloads, including communication relays, cameras, and electronic warfare equipment. The system is designed for rapid deployment and can operate in environments where GPS signals are unavailable.
Target Audience
The primary customers are military, law enforcement, and security organizations requiring persistent surveillance, communication relay, or electronic warfare capabilities in challenging environments.
