RC Tethered Aerostat Balloon 

Surveillance and Remote Sensing RC Tethered Aerostats are built with long duration use in mind, ranging from hours to days of tethered deployment, stabilized with and without internal power cable embedded in the tether line. The integrated Aluminum carrier attachment is used for mounting remote camera(s) and sensing equipment where payload stability is optimized, between the Aerostat and main line, attached to the envelop and the main line itself. 

RC Aerostat Systems Applications

Surveillance and Intelligence Gathering, Reconnaissance, Research, Force Protection, Border⁄Port Security, Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) Communication Relays, Situational Awareness, Rapid Acquisition, Disaster Response, Incident Awareness & Assessment, Monitoring Air Quality & Atmospheric Conditions, Critical Infrastructure Security, Various Atmospheric measurements, Wild life count, Wild life monitoring and filming,… and many more applications.

Structural integrity and innovative design solutions

RC Tethered Aerostat’s envelope is made of High quality Polyurethane (TPU) film, three thicknesses are mainly used, 100, 125, and 150 microns. Using double-triple welding processes helium permeability is maintained at 0.5% maximum daily, minimizing helium or hydrogen refill expenses. Additionally, an RC operated or automatic safety valve is integrated into each envelop. Main line is made of polyester ranging from 4mm to10mm with embedded power wires integrated in the core of each line depending on size of envelope, to enable long lasting use (days). The main line is Polyester (waterproof) Dyneema or Dacron depending on Aerostat volume.
