Aerial Surveillance

Elastec Aerostats offer real-time surveillance for a variety of aerial photography applications including oil spill response, security and environmental monitoring. The system can be deployed and retrieved in a matter of minutes.

Request Information

The Elastec Aerostat 3 is lightweight and portable. It incorporates patented wings that stabilize the balloon and give lift. This unique surveillance system is supplied ready to go, you just add Helium. It is delivered with a hand reel holding 200m/656 feet of a high-strength orange mooring line and ground anchor - the unit can be deployed and retrieved in a matter of minutes. To enhance visibility the Elastec Aerostat 3 has wings in bright orange fabric, LED light and mooring line ribbons. In addition to the visual references, it is the only system available with integrated radar reflection - helping ships and boats pinpoint the position and providing aircraft with a potential signature.

The Elastec Aerostat has significant advantages over a drone. It will stay aloft for extended periods of time and can be flown without a license, can accommodate a choice of cameras and no flight training is necessary – and - it is compact and relatively inexpensive. This system will also operate in higher winds and provide a stable image, even over crowds.

APPLICATIONS

The system has a wide range of potential applications. Primarily, it can provide responders with an aerial view of an incident (oil spills etc.) and provide real-time monitoring via the wireless video feed (to a wifi enabled tablet or smartphone). In addition, it may be used for security surveillance and aerial photography.
