TCOM Strategic Class Aerostat Systems
TCOM’s Strategic Class of aerostat systems includes some of the largest tethered aerostats currently in operation. These robust systems are ideal for aerial surveillance applications due to their enormous payload capacity and extended altitude range. TCOM Strategic Class aerostats are capable of sustained deployments lasting up to 30 days at a time.
Typically, Strategic Class aerostat systems are customized for surveillance applications that involve the detection of low-flying, fast-moving objects including light aircraft and cruise missiles.
Strategic Class payloads may include long-range radar, active and passive communications equipment as well as COMINT/ELINT technologies, often carrying payloads as high as 15,000 ft above ground control station. Due to their large size, high altitude and considerable payload, Strategic Class aerostats use a stationary mooring station.
