GROUND-BASED TETHER SYSTEM

The Blue Vigil Ground Power System keeps your drone flying, uninterrupted, in a stationary position for as long as you need it to stay aloft. It ends concerns and inconvenience caused by the limited power of a drone’s on board rechargeable battery. With Blue Vigil RS 1000, there’s no need to return your drone to base because your battery is depleted and you need to swap it out for a fresh unit.

Blue Vigil uses a tether to provide continuous power from a ground-source battery. By powering Blue Vigil from a household outlet, power inverter or generator, UAS flight time is indefinite. That means your eye in the sky remains exactly where it’s supposed to be; aimed at your subject or an area being monitored.

Unlimited Flight Time

No more down time while swapping out batteries! Connected to the Blue Vigil tether your drone will have unlimited flight time.

Launch & Leave

Once at the desired altitude, compatible drones will generally hold their position without needing constant operator input.

The RS1000 ground-based tether allows unlimited flight time when connected to a power source. The system includes the ground base tether unit (RS1000), power cord and the Battery Replacement Module (BRM). It can support up to 1500W of sustained power with off-the-shelf output voltages 24V.

Continuous Power

With generator, inverter or household power input, the system provide continuous power to the drone.

• Unlimited flight duration
• Powers most UAV by replacing the OEM battery with the Blue Vigil Replacement Module (BRM)
• Set it and forget it – once deployed the integrated flight control system will keep the UAV in hover over the ground power station
• 1500 W of sustained power
• Peak power output of 1600 W
• System accepts 110 V-240 V AC input
