THE TETHERED DRONE ADVANTAGE
Extended Surveillance Range Through Elevation
THE WINDLIFT ADVANTAGE
Defense-Funded Innovation
Through work funded by the Department of Defense to develop airborne power generation technology for forces at the tactical edge, Windlift has built a foundational technology that reshapes what’s possible for tethered aircraft.
Core Advancement
Windlift has created an AI-driven flight-control system and robust simulation space that solve major challenges in autonomous tethered flight.
Performance Breakthrough
These technologies enable operations at higher elevations and in harsher conditions than today’s best-in-class systems.
Expanded Capabilities
Windlift’s system improves the reliability and operational range of tethered drones, surpassing traditional technology.
Market Leadership
Tested performance advantages position Windlift to enter the market ahead of the competition.
Strategic Impact
Enables new capabilities for both defense applications and commercial autonomous systems.
Persistent Overwatch
The Wind Resilient Tethered Drone provides critical infrastructure & border security, and aerial surveillance providing actionable intelligence. Persistence improves the gaps in real-time threat detection. The advanced aerial solution for security.
Power-Producing
APGs use 90% less material, and, at scale, have the potential to deliver power at up to 80% lower cost than legacy distributed energy solutions for the same power output.
Proven + Protected: SBIR III & Sole Source
Foundational technology developed through work with DOD and DOE.
Sponsored by OUSD (A&S) Operational Energy-Innovation.
Partnered with Naval Research Lab for technical oversight and validation.
Four key patents that underpin Windlift’s core power gen and flight control technologies with more in process.
