Tethered Drone Systems · Made in the USA
Persistent overwatch, without the battery clock.
A battery gives your drone 30 minutes and a forced landing. An AeroMast tethered drone system feeds continuous power from the ground, so your aircraft holds station for the entire mission: hours of uninterrupted ISR, force protection, and scene overwatch from a single launch.
The Problem
Batteries were never built for overwatch
Every battery-powered ISR orbit runs on a countdown. Every swap is a gap in coverage, a pilot task-saturated at the worst moment, and a logistics tail of chargers and spare packs. For a mission measured in hours, the aircraft is not the limit. The battery is.
Launch once, hold for hours
Ground power through the tether removes the swap cycle entirely. The camera stays on the target from setup to teardown.
A wired link cannot be jammed
Power runs up the tether and the aircraft stays in a fixed, controlled volume of airspace. No RF link to spoof, no flyaway.
One case, one operator
The Quantum ships in a single hard case, sets up in minutes, and runs on standard 120V power or a small generator.
The System
Quantum AM-Q-V1 tethered power system
A ground station, a 130 ft power tether, and a 120 gram air module that turns the enterprise drone you already fly into a persistent aerial platform.
- 500W continuous at 325 VDC typical through the tether
- AeroModule air unit outputs 9–24 VDC for DJI Mavic 3/4 series, Autel EVO, and other enterprise aircraft
- Fail-safe by design: if ground power is interrupted, the onboard battery takes over for a controlled landing
- Published pricing: $6,500 schools and athletics, $8,000 commercial
Applications
Built for missions that cannot blink
ISR & force protection
Persistent perimeter and convoy overwatch from a fixed position, with no battery rotation to plan around.
Drone as first responder
Hold an eye over a scene, a search, or a standoff for the full duration of the call, not the first 30 minutes of it.
Critical site monitoring
Continuous aerial coverage for facilities, utilities, and energy sites, day or night, on generator or shore power.
Venue & event security
A fixed aerial vantage for stadiums, festivals, and large gatherings, proven weekly in live athletics production.
Why AeroMast
Proven where failure is public
AeroMast systems earned their record in the hardest reliability test in the drone business: live Friday night football, in front of crowds and broadcast cameras, where a failure is seen by thousands. More than 180 high school and college programs trust our tethers every week of the season.
- American manufacturing: designed, built, and supported in Monroe, Louisiana
- Honest pricing: published prices, roughly one-sixth the cost of the French incumbent
- Direct support: when you call, you reach the people who designed the system
Roadmap
Higher power is in development
The 500W Quantum is in production today. Two higher-power systems are in development for heavier aircraft and dedicated first responder installations.
1.5 kW DFR system
A higher-power tether for drone as first responder aircraft and fixed installations that need all-day persistence.
3–5 kW heavy-lift system
Tethered power for large enterprise and heavy-lift airframes that today's 500W class cannot serve.
