The Unique Advantages of a Tethered Drone System

The Unique Advantages of a Tethered Drone System

2025-10-28

Q2: What Are the Unique Advantages of a Tethered Drone System, and What Should Buyers Focus On When Purchasing?

 

A:(1) General Industry View


The Tethered Drone System is one of the most practical innovations in modern UAV technology. Unlike traditional drones that rely on batteries, a tethered system uses a ground power station and a high-voltage cable to deliver continuous electricity and data connection to the drone. This design allows the drone to remain airborne for hours or even days, making it ideal for emergency communications, military surveillance, border control, live broadcasting, and industrial monitoring.


Its advantages are clear: unlimited flight duration, stable power, real-time data transfer, and minimal downtime. For many government and enterprise users, it is a cost-effective alternative to manned helicopters.

 

(2)Real Procurement Challenges in the Market
While the technology looks simple on paper, many buyers encounter hidden challenges when deploying tethered drone systems:


1. Safety and Power Stability:
Some low-end systems lack voltage control and thermal protection.Power fluctuation or overheating can cause flight interruption or even equipment damage during continuous operation.
2.Communication Interference:
Poorly shielded cables or unbalanced power setups can introduce electromagnetic interference(EMI), affecting video and telemetry signalsserious issue for mission-critical applications like live surveillance

3. Deployment Efficiency:
Many systems are bulky or require manual setup, taking 10-15 minutes to prepare. For emergency units, this delay can make the difference between success and failure.
4. Operational Cost vs.ROI:
Some tethered solutions are over-engineered or too expensive for real field use, making it difficult for procurement teams to justify investment compared with battery-based drones.
5.Regulatory and Certification Gaps:
In regions like Europe and North America, equipment often needs CE or FCC compliance. Buyers frequently find that suppliers cannot provide the necessary testing reports or certification documents.
These are the real pain points that separate a functional system from a field-ready solution.
