CS002 is a lightweight and compact tethered UAV designed for portable surveillance, temporary monitoring, and rapid-deployment missions. With an approximate empty weight of 3.2 kg and a 650 mm wheelbase, it is easy to transport and deploy in confined operating areas. The platform also supports a backup landing battery, providing approximately five minutes of emergency flight time if the tethered power supply is interrupted.
CS002-5 5 kg payload configuration combines a compact foldable structure with increased payload capacity. Its 950 mm wheelbase, 24-inch folding propellers, and folded dimensions of 480 × 390 × 470 mm make it suitable for mobile operations requiring easier transportation and storage. With a standard payload capacity of 5 kg, it can carry compact EO/IR cameras, monitoring equipment, communication devices, or temporary lighting systems.
CS0010 is a six-axis tethered UAV developed for medium-payload, long-duration aerial operations. It supports a standard payload of 10 kg and a tethered hovering height of up to 100 m, which can be customized according to project requirements. Its foldable structure improves field transportation and deployment, making it suitable for communication relay, security monitoring, industrial inspection, and emergency command support.
CS0020 provides a 20 kg payload capacity for missions requiring larger sensors and specialized equipment. Its six-axis configuration and 34-inch folding propellers support stable operation under demanding field conditions. With a tethered hovering height of up to 300 m, the platform is suitable for long-range observation, high-power lighting, communication relay, public security, emergency response, and industrial site supervision.
CS0070 is a heavy-duty tethered UAV designed for demanding industrial and emergency applications. Featuring a four-axis, eight-propeller configuration and 49-inch folding propellers, it supports payloads of up to 70 kg. Its 300 m tethered hovering height and high payload capacity allow it to integrate large communication systems, high-power lighting equipment, advanced surveillance payloads, and other mission-specific devices requiring continuous aerial operation.
