Logos Technologies launches MicroKestrel wide-area sensor for tethered drone systems

MicroKestrel is the world's smallest wide-area moving image (WAMI) system, providing continuous monitoring for a new military and homeland security sensor operation group

Logos Technologies LLC, a leader in the field of wide-area moving imagery (WAMI), announced today that it will launch its small, tethered, multi-rotor UAV system at the upcoming Association of the United States Army (Association of the United States Army) (UAS)'s New MicroKestrel Sensor (AUSA) Conference and Expo, Washington, DC

"However, what is surprising is the weight of MicroKestrel. Doug Rombough, vice president of business development at Logos Technologies, said: "The new WAMI system weighs less than 5 pounds and is so light that some tethered UAS can actually hold two units. Each unit points in a different direction. "In this dual configuration, you can get twice the coverage area and 360-degree field of view. "

The idea of installing WAMI on small, tethered drones once seemed impossible. These sensors will now be able to operate on tethered drones or free-flying drones that have been connected to third-party tethering stations. This greatly expands the types of operators that can use WAMI.

“People who can never use a runway or catapult-launched drone, let alone a large predator, can open a container, set up a tethered drone, and launch the WAMI sensor into the air,” Rombough said. "Think about what this means for base protection, incident security, or other mission sets."

Logos Technologies will showcase MicroKestrel and other sensor systems at AUSA’s company booth (No. 1143) from October 11th to 13th.
