LiveSky VHA Tethered Drone Systems

Air Drones (UAV/UAS)

Description

The LiveSky VHA (Variable Height Antenna) systems are tethered multirotor drones designed for persistent aerial operations. The platform includes two models: SENTRY (single payload) and SPECTER (dual payload) variants. These systems provide unlimited flight time through power-over-tether technology, making them ideal for extended ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) and communications relay missions. Key capabilities include all-weather operation meeting IP54 and MIL-STD-810 standards, GPS-denied operations, precision landing without optical sensors, and seamless integration with tactical radios and sensors. The systems are field-proven with military forces and support various payloads including EO/IR gimbals, tactical radios, laser designators, and other mission-specific equipment.
