TIF-15KTM Tactical Tethered Aerostat System

TIF-15KTM design concept (see 6' man on ground for size relationship)
 

The TIF-15KTM Tactical Tethered Aerostat System is the smallest size of
aerostat in our complete turn-key, easy to use, rapid deployment,
tethered aerostat system family.

Currently under development, the system will consist of a 61' long aerostat on
smaller trailer / docking station with winch system.

The standard system configuration will fly user payloads weighing up to
200 lbs. to 1500' AGL.  Minor customizations of the standard system
configurations and/or lighter user payloads will accommodate even
higher flight altitudes with this size of aerostat.

The TIF-15KTM design utilizes the years of
experience and manufacturing processes
developed with our standard line of TIF-6000
aerostats utilized for video relay over the last
two decades.

As a tactical response platform, the TIF-15KTM
system can be used in places where the need
for in-the-field command, communications, intelligence gathering, surveillance and reconnaissance are paramount to success. 

Cameras, communications equipment, sensor arrays and monitoring devices are just a few
of the payloads which can be flown.

The combined power and fiber optic tether line allows the user to concentrate only on the
type of payload to fly instead of power and
payload control needs.
