A Tethered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is a UAV that is connected to the ground by a rope or cable and can hover at a certain height and maintain a fixed position. Tethered drones can receive stable power and data transmission via connected ropes or cables, so they can hover continuously and perform various tasks for extended periods of time.
The main uses of tethered drones include the following:
1, surveillance and reconnaissance: the tethered UAV can hover at high altitude, monitor and reconnaissance ground targets, such as public safety, border monitoring, wildlife protection, disaster response and other aspects have great application potential.
2, communication relay: the tethered UAV can be used as a communication relay station to enhance the coverage and reliability of the communication signal, and is applied to the field, emergency rescue and other scenes.
3, aerial photography and photography: the teaming UAV can hover at a certain height to take high-definition photos and videos, which can be used in advertising, urban planning, architectural design and other aspects.
4. Meteorological observation: the mooring UAV can conduct meteorological observation at a certain height and collect atmospheric parameter data, which helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of meteorological prediction.
5, live video: the tethered UAV can hover in the air for a long time to broadcast a certain event, activity, scenic spot, can rotate the solution, arbitrary capture the lens.
6, fire rescue: the tether UAV can hover in the air for a long time to carry out fire rescue of a high-rise building, because it is a long time to hover, there is a cable and drone power transmission, a water pipe and drone water delivery, to achieve a special UAV used in special scenes of high-rise buildings.
7, aerial lighting: the unmanned aerial vehicle can hover in the air for a long time to light an area for a long time, to achieve tens of thousands of square as the day, the common use of the scene is night search and rescue, rescue, large-scale accident scene, etc.
The development prospect of tethered UAVs is very broad. With the continuous advancement of technology, the application scenarios of tethered UAVs will become more diverse and complex. For example, a network of multiple tethered UAVs can be formed to enable greater surveillance and reconnaissance, while more intelligent and autonomous control and operation can also be achieved through technologies such as artificial intelligence.
