TIF-120K™ Tactical Tethered Aerostat System


TIF-120K™ Design Concept (see 6' tall man on ground for size relationship)

The TIF-120K™ Tethered Aerostat System is the largest 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 130' long aerostat on
swivel gantry docking station, with a winch system and onboard power.

The standard system configuration will fly user payloads weighing up to
750 lbs. to 5000' AGL.  Customization of the standard system configurations
and/or lighter user payloads will accommodate even higher flight altitudes
with this size of aerostat.

 The TIF-120K™ will provide the user with the
industry's easiest to use, mobile aerial platform
which can be deployedand operational within
hours of arrival on site.

The TIF-120K™ system can be used on land or
on a ship as a test-bed platform or for in-the-field command, control, communications, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (CXISR) activities. 

Cameras, communications equipment, atmospheric
test equipment, video equipment, radar arrays,
sensor arrays and monitoring devices are just some
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.
