Deployed from a transportable drone box in less than two minutes, KHRONOS can operate from fixed and mobile platforms with minimal human input.

DARDILLY, France – Elistair in Dardilly, France, is introducing the KHRONOS automated tethered drone system designed for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions in challenging, GPS/GNSS-denied, and RF-denied environments.

Deployed from a transportable drone box in less than two minutes, KHRONOS can operate from fixed and mobile platforms with minimal human input.

Elistair has been developing and delivering tethered unmanned aircraft in more than 70 countries for close to a decade. The 66-pound KHRONOS is easily deployed from a drone box to deliver a continuous day/night aerial view extending over a 10-kilometer radius for 24 hours at a stretch.

In addition to being ruggedized for operation off-road and in poor weather, KHRONOS can operate in GPS/GNSS-denied and RF-denied environments, thanks to its advanced positioning system and secured tethered communications. It also can be integrated easily with vehicles.

Powered by T-Planner 2, the newest version of Elistair mission software, KHRONOS benefits from the latest intelligent functions, such as target tracking, automated object categorization, and cued camera slewing to points of interests.
