System anatomy

Three parts.
One unbroken line.

Aircraft, tether, ground station — explore the system. Every watt and every frame moves on the wire.

Apus 100 system: aircraft on tether above its ground station
01 — Aircraft

Apus 100 airframe

4.2 lb carbon-fiber multirotor carrying up to 4.4 lb of payload, holding a GPS-locked station within ±1 m. The 4K 6× zoom camera sees the whole site from 100 ft with continuous 360° control.

02 — Tether

Power-and-data line

A single 120 ft line carries continuous power up and fiber-optic data down — non-conductive, with no RF link to find, jam, or intercept.

03 — Ground station

Automated base

Weather-resistant housing manages line tension, docking, and continuous power — the aircraft nests inside, and the tether spools out as it deploys.
