Ground power station
Generator or mains input is converted and monitored by the ground system before power enters the tether.
KAPYAH / TETHERED SYSTEMS
Aircraft and ground system. Connected.
A tethered aircraft is one part of a complete system. Ground power, cable management, data, control and onboard reserve power work together to hold a useful vantage point.
PERSISTENT AERIAL PRESENCE
Stay connected.
Stay above.
One physical connection. Continuous ground power. A persistent vantage point when a mission needs more time in the air.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Power from below. Awareness from above.
Company technical material describes a hybrid architecture in which mains or generator power is managed by a ground station, passed through a tether and received by the aircraft power module. The onboard battery remains available as a reserve.
Managed tether
A motorised spool and winch manage cable deployment. Surveillance configurations carry power and data; the lighting configuration uses a power-only tether.
Aircraft power module
The airborne module receives tether power and distributes it to the propulsion, control and mission systems.
Onboard reserve
The onboard battery charges while flying and provides a backup power path when the ground supply is interrupted.
CURRENT TETHERED LINEUP
Four operating heights. One connected idea.
The current catalogue ranges from the compact Hexa-T60 to the higher-vantage Hexa-T150, with payload and rotor configurations selected around the mission.
