Elistair has introduced a dedicated tethered air module designed for the Parrot ANAFI UKR micro-UAV, enabling hours of uninterrupted flight through continuous power delivery.
The module connects the ANAFI UKR to an Elistair tethered station via a micro-tether, creating a complete tethered intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) solution. Designed for defense, public safety, and critical infrastructure operators who require persistent overwatch with a minimal logistical footprint, the system supports missions including force protection, perimeter and border surveillance, event security, and response support.
Compatible with both the Safe-T and Ligh-T stations, the setup achieves flight readiness in under two minutes while remaining portable and straightforward to deploy in operational environments.
“With this new solution, we bring the endurance of tethered operations to a drone that our defense and public safety customers already trust,” said Guilhem de Marliave, CEO of Elistair.
Chris Roberts, Parrot’s Senior Vice President & Chief Revenue Officer, commented, “At Parrot, we are committed to providing defense, public safety and critical infrastructure operators with resilient, field-proven aerial solutions that meet the demands of real-world missions. Elistair’s new tethered solution expands the operational capabilities of the ANAFI UKR by enabling persistent aerial surveillance while preserving the portability, ease of deployment and secure architecture our customers rely on. This collaboration illustrates the strength of our ecosystem and our shared commitment to delivering mission-critical intelligence when and where it matters most.”
Drawing on more than ten years of field experience and an established footprint of over 2,000 tethered stations deployed by security forces worldwide, Elistair developed the system to expand operational capability without adding operational complexity. Orders for the new tethered air module are currently open.
