TIF-15K™ Tactical Tethered Aerostat System


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

The TIF-15K™ 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.





TIF-6000 in flight with suspended payload

The TIF-15K™ 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-15K™
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.


I would like more information or pricing on Tethered Aerostats



As with all of the turn-key Tethered Aerostat Systems, Aerostar's proprietary Integrated Telemetry System™ (ITS™) allows for instantaneous monitoring of the aerostat and all systems as well as the wind direction, speed, GPS location and temperature.


TIF-15K™ Specifications:
 
Volume 12,000 cubic feet
Length 19m / 61 feet
Diameter 6m / 20 feet
