![]() Development of vehicle mounted ground stations of tethered drones and capabilities to have live feed with almost zero lag on ground stations is allowing nations to enter long term business acquisition and maintenance contract of tethered drones. The usage of drones for search and rescue operations is one of the major factors supporting business opportunities within the military segment. Such innovations will support business opportunities on personal and recreational industry where longer operational hours are needed. Companies like Elistair is providing tethered stations that can be integrated with any drone, allowing drone to increase its operational time. Direct link between ground station and drone allows it to have unlimited power supply and complex communication capabilities, allowing them to be used in applications such as surveillance, communication, live steaming, search and rescue among others.įactors such as advancement in electrical and cable components enabling light weight cables supporting long operating distances through cables, possibilities of continuous operations through power supply, increased up link and downlink capabilities, versatility towards mode of operations and efforts taken by industry players to provide commercial off the shelf stations to cater wider audience is driving the market. The tethered stations can be utilized to create direct communication links, increase total flight time, provide continuous power, and perform tasks associated to tethering. An actual tethered drone system is made up of a base station/power station, a drone tether, and the drone itself, which is tethered to the power station. The global tethered drone market size was valued at $257.3 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $404.9 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2022 to 2031.Ī drone that is physically tied to a ground station is an unmanned aircraft.
