Fibre Optic Tethered Unmanned Aerial Systems: A Technical Assessment and Market Overview
Reading Time: 3 minutesFibre optic drone technology, often referred to as tethered unmanned aerial systems (TUAS) utilising optical communication lines, has emerged as a force multiplier for persistent ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) operations in contested electromagnetic (EM) environments. Unlike conventional RF-linked UAVs, fibre-optic drones provide uninterrupted, jam-resistant, high-bandwidth data streaming, while simultaneously offering Continue Reading
