The LANTERN is a rugged tethered drone system for autonomous mobile deployment. The LANTERN tethered drone system is configured to provide autonomous deployment capabilities from both manned and unmanned vehicle platforms, including trucks, USVs and crewed vessels, and UGVs. Offering persistent ISR both during the day and at night, it also includes a backup battery that enables tetherless scout missions for up to 5 minutes at a time. The rugged system is housed in a durable MIL-STD-810H-rated aluminum enclosure
that can withstand extremes of shock and vibration, gunfire, indirect shell explosions, and harsh environmental conditions including rain, snow, ice, and dust and sand. It includes an advanced tether management system that actively regulates tension, preventing drag and reducing snag risk while while maintaining smooth and uninterrupted operation in dynamic battlefield environments. The versatile UAS is equipped as standard with a Trillium HD40 EO/IR camera for high-resolution full-color or infrared imagery and video, as well as a Silvus StreamCaster 4200 tactical radio, and can also be fitted with a range of additional sensors and payloads to suit diverse mission requirements. It is fully compatible with any single-phase 240VAC 4kW generator, allowing it to be easily powered by existing field equipment for simplified logistics.
