Tethered Drones
Advanced Energy / Artesyn Tethered Drones feature extended flight time, cover more ground, and transmit data reliably. These drones are typically connected to a high-voltage DC power source, which enables the use of a thin, lightweight cable. The tethered drones require a ground-based power source to feed the tether cable. Point-of-Load (POL) and Board-Mounted Power (BMP) converters can be utilized for low-voltage conversion within the drone to power cameras, communications, and other electronics. The tethered drones are used for surveillance and broadcasting.
