Persistent tethered systems

Eyes that
never blink.

The Apus 100 is a tethered aerial system that holds a fixed vantage over your site — indefinitely. No battery swaps, no gaps in coverage.

The premise

Batteries land.
Operations don't.

Free-flying drones give you twenty good minutes, then they come down to charge — and that's exactly when the picture goes dark.

Apus 100 trades the battery for a tether. Power and data run up a single armored line, so the aircraft simply stays up — a fixed, hardened vantage point for as long as the mission runs.

How it works

One line.
Unlimited time aloft.

01

Ground station

An automated, weather-resistant housing unit supplies continuous power up the tether and manages line tension and docking on its own.

02

Power-and-data tether

A single line carries continuous power up and fiber-optic data down — no battery, no RF link to jam or intercept.

03

Apus 100 aloft

The aircraft holds a GPS-locked station above your site, streaming 4K video to the operator without interruption.

The operator's view

One console.
Zero blind hours.

The feed, the events, and the record — in one place, for the whole watch. Simulated view shown.

Where it works

One platform.
Many industries.

Persistence matters wherever looking away is not an option. Apus 100 adapts to the operation through interchangeable payloads and mission packs.

01
Critical infrastructure & utilities

Substations, ports, data centers, and storage yards.

02
Events & broadcast

Stable, elevated coverage for the full run of show.

03
Telecom & connectivity

An airborne node for temporary network coverage.

04
Industrial & construction sites

A standing eye over large, active work sites.

05
Public safety

Elevated command views for police, fire, and SAR.

06
Security & perimeter

Standing watch over campuses, yards, and perimeters.

07
Border & maritime

Wide-area monitoring of approaches and coastlines.

08
Disaster response

Rapid situational awareness over an active incident.

From the field program

A night on
the wire.

A representative overnight deployment from the Apus 100 field program — one operator, one logistics yard, zero coverage gaps.

T+00:00

Case opened

One vehicle, one operator. Ground station placed at the south laydown yard.

T+00:09

On station

Aircraft at 100 ft, GPS-locked, camera walking the saved patrol pattern.

T+02:41

Motion — NE fence

Camera slews to cue. Verified in seconds: a coyote, not a crew. No dispatch, no drama.

T+05:30

Shift change below

Guards rotate. The picture doesn't.

T+08:00

Still up

Sunrise. The aircraft has not landed once. The full night is on the record.

Distribution

Authorized distribution — California

Apus 100 is distributed and deployed in California through a private security contractor running hybrid programs statewide — manned patrols, AI-driven remote guarding, and an FAA-compliant drone program.

Platform roadmap

Apus is first.
The platform goes further.

We lead with the tethered system because persistence is where the market is most underserved today. Free-flying enterprise and consumer aircraft follow.
