Elistair's video: Orion Persistent Tethered Drone - Night Surveillance Exercise

Elistair Orion Tethered UAS is deployed by security forces and governments for day night surveillance missions. During this exercise conducted at night in a zone with no artificial lights, the drone was used to identify and follow a pedestrian and a vehicle thanks to its thermal camera. Orion UAS has the particularity of being a captive drone, connected to a ground power station through a kevlar micro-tether that continuously supplies it with electricity. Like a mast, it can keep its position at several tens of meters above ground for hours. Equipped with a military-grade day/night surveillance camera, Orion tethered drone system is able to cover wide areas, and detect a car from a great distance during day time with its X30 zoom. In parallel, the thermal imagery (infrared camera) is perfectly fitted for night surveillance as it allows detection of a vehicle at several km away in very dark environments. 0:10 Drone Takeoff 0:18 View on the micro-kevlar tether 0:31 Thermal camera and deep zoom on vehicle 0:34 Detection of the pedestrian 0:42 Day camera - Detection and tracking of the vehicle 0:53 Infrared imagery 1:06 Aerial view of the tethered drone Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_eq...
