Does anyone in the country build tethered drones using cheap off the shelf parts? Like these: https://elistair.com/
24 hour flight time, colour and FLIR cameras, 330 feet operation height, can peer at a distance of 10km.
Imagine if every MRAP is equipped with something like this but cheaper.
It could be used as a "kite" and be pulled along the convoy, scouting for threats.
It could also have the ability to be "cut loose" and survey an area on it's own battery power.
Or a plexus of them across checkposts all attached to a central command aided by AI, to monitor terrorists?.
Or be used to monitor a battlespace from a distance.
Weeeelll?
Also it's something a university graduate could open as a startup... *Wink* *wink*
