The ELISTAIR ORION 2.2 TE : TACTICAL TETHERED DRONE is a tactical tethered UAS designed for defence, homeland security and civil organizations. It provides timely and actionable intelligence to help teams in the field protect lives and assets. Backed by 6 years of Orion deployments for defence and security operations worldwide, the Orion 2.2 TE is a tactical UAS for ISR and Telecommunications missions. Ruggedized and automated, the Orion 2.2 TE can continuously operate for 50 hours of flight. It is easy to transport and deploy even in difficult-to-access areas.

Key features

• 50 hours proved flight endurance - Powered and controlled through the tether, the Orion 2.2 TE ensures secure data transfer and protection against jamming and interference.

• Up to 5kg payload capability - Comprehensive range of EO/IR cameras, including the Raptor or a Laser Rangefinder, and a Payload Development Kit for 3rd party integration.

• 100m / 330ft Variable Height Antenna - Set up a temporary 100m mast to overcome connectivity issues. Adaptable to multiple types of radio, the Orion 2.2 TE provides mission flexibility.

• Enhanced carrying capacity - Lift and empower a 4 kg (8.8 lbs) payload at 70 m (230 ft) and 5 kg (11 lbs) payload a 50 m (164 ft) for 50 hours continuously.

• Payload development kit - Use the Payload Development Kit to carry tactical communication relays, 4G cells, or other third-party payloads.

• Next-level motorization - Reach maximum performance with the next-generation motorization and stability with the hexacopter drone.

Heavy Lift Configuration
The Heavy Lift is a specific configuration of the Orion 2.2. By simply switching to heavy lift arms with more powerful motors, the drone can carry heavier payloads.

Superior Carrying Capacity
The Orion 2.2 TE can lift and power a 4KG (8,8 lbs) payload at 70 m (230 ft), and a 5KG (11 lbs) payload at 50 m (164 ft) for 50 hrs.

Payload Development Kit
Combined with the PDK, the Orion 2.2 TE can carry tactical communication relays, 4G cells, or other specialized payloads.

Upgraded Motorization
Next generation motorization, hexacopter stability, and performance even in harsh environments.

Data Link
High-speed secured data link, protected from interference and jamming, for instant.
