Affordable Persistent Surveillance with Aerostats
TMPSYS-AirStar Tethered Aerostats with Vista Research Smart Sensor Radar Systems and an EO/IR sensor are a smart, cost-effective investment in technology to successfully accomplish national security missions.
Cost Effective:
Feature the lowest procurement, operational, and lifecycle costs per flight hour—especially when accounting for costs associated with fuel, spare parts and manpower
Flexible Capabilities:
Ability to carry a wide range of payloads to perform a broad spectrum of Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (CISR) missions
- Force protection
- Border/port security
- Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communication relays
- Disaster recovery
- Incident awareness and assessment
- Critical Infrastructure
Proven Results:
Aerostats have operated successfully in commercial and scientific uses for decades and more recently in combat environments for over eight years
True Persistence:
Unmatched in time on-station when compared to other ISR platforms
- Carry heavier, more capable payloads
- Provide a power supply from line or generator supply
