Elistair ORION Tethered Drone System Used for Security at Ryder Cup 2018

We are extremely proud to announce the successful deployment of Orion, our tethered drone system for security of the Ryder Cup 2018 over the last six days. This accomplishment at a major international event provides further evidence of the Orion UAS’ ability to operate for the most demanding aerial surveillance missions. This comes after recent successful deployments at the French national air show, Ferté Alais, and the World motorbike championship 2018.

Here at Elistair we believe that the ability to deploy a fully automated tethered drone system as a permanent eye in the sky is invaluable and a huge advantage over bulky and expensive traditional solutions. With a significant reduction of operating costs and staff expenses and an extreme ease-of-use, smart tethered drones are now mission-critical, offering flexibility and a broad application scope.

Designed for semi-persistent aerial surveillance and telecommunications needs, ORION UAS can achieve the most demanding missions for law enforcement, private and public safety, national security, assets protection or emergency communications and crisis management.

DESIGNED FOR PERMANENCE.

Extend your mission capacity with endurance up to 10 hours and more.

Fully designed for extended flight times, ORION UAS is based on strong industrial components. It integrates Elistair's patented micro-tether system Safe-T and ensures a secured and continuous power supply from the ground. With its high grade industrial motors and multiple redundancies including autopilot sensors, motorization, power distribution, logical controls, and an emergency parachute system, ORION UAS has been engineered to endure extensive flight times in demanding environments. The structure of the ORION drone is designed to sustain fierce winds with a maximum stability for its size-factor.

SEE BETTER, SEE FURTHER.

Cover large areas and don’t miss the action, with ORION powerful vision capabilities.

Thanks to its day and night surveillance camera combining state of the art gimbal stabilization and crystal-clear imagery with low latencies, with its X30 optical zoom, ORION UAS can detect a moving person over kilometers. Using both the Safe-T micro-tether with our high-speed and interference-free data transmission technology, and Flir and Sony leading industrial sensors, ORION UAS camera is the ultimate solution for persistent aerial surveillance.

A SOLUTION YOU CAN RELY ON.

As continuous information gathering is often mission-critical, we have built the most robust and secured tethered drone on the market. Fully automated, ORION integrates redundancies and smart emergency procedures at every level, allowing you to focus on your mission and on the data, while drastically reducing the risks for human mistakes.

With its modular structure, ORION is easily carriable and deployable wherever your missions take you. A few minutes are enough to assemble the drone and deploy it.
