About Elistair
Elistair develops tethered drone systems for persistent surveillance, communications and incident response. Its Orion aircraft and Safe-T power stations keep a UAV aloft through a cable carrying electricity and data, enabling extended overwatch above defence positions, borders, public events and emergency scenes.
Electro-optical payloads provide continuous observation, while communications packages can create elevated radio or cellular relays. Automated flight control maintains position and manages tether tension from a compact ground station, and some configurations integrate into vehicles for rapid deployment. Elistair supplies complete systems, operator training and support to military, security and public-safety organisations worldwide.
