White Paper: Understanding and Maximizing Tethered Drone Cable Performance in Harsh Operating Conditions
White Papers, United States,
Also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones have become commonplace in commercial and defense applications, but as the technology continues to evolve, so does a shift in power management systems. Drones that once ran on high energy density batteries with limited flight time are now being redesigned to rely on high-performing cables, which use a battery backup and offer unlimited flight time.
Staying ahead of the curve, W. L. Gore & Associates developed a hybrid solution to serve as an optimal substitute for a standard tethered cable. In Gore’s White Paper: Understanding and Maximizing Tethered Drone Cable Performance in Harsh Operating Conditions, you can learn more about this shift in drone technology, as well as how Gore’s materials expertise and thorough testing make all the difference when choosing the right solution for your commercial or defense application.
About the White Paper
From commercial industries to military use, drone technology is relied on more and more each day, but the UAV’s capabilities are greatly impacted by the tether cable chosen for the specific application. When deciding on high-performance tether cables, it’s pertinent to fully understand the following in relation to how reliable the choice cable will be:
- Tethered drone systems
- Power and data transmission needs
- Environmental effects on cable materials
- Current carrying capacity and weight limitations
Further, defense and commecial applications alike should seek a product that’s been tested thoroughly and proven to operate reliably. In White Paper: Understanding and Maximizing Tethered Drone Cable Performance in Harsh Operating Conditions, Gore details the rigorous testing performed on our hybrid solution, which evaluated its durability and strength compared to standard tether cables. The results highlight the important considerations that must be made when searching for the right tether cable for these drone applications.
