Persistently hovering up to 75-m (250-ft) above ground level (AGL) in all weathers, winds of 30 mph, and with a service ceiling of 5500-m (18,000-ft), the tethered HARC-TD system provides highly expeditionary, persistent communications range extension for combatnet radios, MANET radios, civilian radios, EW payloads, ISR payloads, etc.
Having been engineered from inception as a communications range extension platform (“Think of it as a persistent, field expedient antenna tower”), HARC-TD can fly payloads for almost any conceivable radio needed for tactical or Humanitarian and Disaster Relief (HADR) missions.
