Tethered Drones

Take Your Drone to New Heights with Advanced Energy's Tethered Solutions

Tethered drones may be a lesser-known class of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), but they offer a range of benefits over traditional drones. With a tethered drone, you can stay in the air longer, cover more ground, and transmit data more reliably. With Advanced Energy's broad selection of AC-DC power conversion solutions, powering your tethered drone has never been easier.

Tethered drones have extended flight time because they operate independent of onboard batteries. They are typically connected to a high voltage DC power source which enables use of a thin, light-weight cable.

Our power conversion solutions address the myriad DC voltages and power levels required in the ground-based power source to feed the tether cable, providing reliable and efficient power to your drone. Additionally, our POL and BMP can be utilized for low voltage conversion within the drone to power cameras, communications, and other electronics.

Don’t let power limitation ground your drone, preventing it from covering more area and flying longer. With our broad selection of AC-DC power conversion solutions, you can power your tethered drone with ease, from the ground-based power source to your drone's internal electronics. Whether you're using your tethered drone for surveillance, broadcasting, or other applications, Advanced Energy is the solution you need to fly higher and farther.
