HoverSafe

Tethered drone hovering above a vehicle with HoverSafe

HoverSafe delivers next-generation autonomy and PNT for tethered drone systems, ensuring precise hover and landing performance even in GPS-denied or no-pilot environments. Built on proven technology, HoverSafe enables your tethered drone to fly safely, operate independently, and perform — anywhere, anytime.

Key Differentiators

  • Vision-based guidance — no GPS dependency for hover or landing
  • Day/night operation — full capability in all lighting conditions
  • Multi-tracker backup — redundant tracking ensures mission continuity
  • Safe hovering in denied GPS — maintains station with centimetre precision
  • No RF / covert operations — zero electronic signature
  • No operator required — fully autonomous hover and landing
  • Landing / “Follow Me” on the move — tracks and lands on moving vehicles
  • Ship deck operation — tethered hover and precision landing on naval platforms
  • Hover:Centimetre Precision Without GPS
  • Day / NightFull Capability
  • Follow MeLands On Moving Vehicles

Use Cases

Safe Hovering in GPS Denied
Maintains precise station-keeping for tethered ISR and comms relay drones without GPS.
No Pilot / No Communication
Fully autonomous hover and landing — zero operator or comms dependency.
On the Move “Follow Me” Landing
Tracks and lands on moving vehicles — convoy, patrol, or mobile command post.
Ship Deck Operation
Tethered hover and precision landing on naval vessel decks in contested maritime zones.
Persistent Tethered Surveillance
Persistent tethered surveillance with autonomous recovery — no trained pilot required.
Failsafe Landing
Autonomous failsafe landing when tether tension or environmental conditions exceed limits.
