Developers from the US presented a new technology for recharging drones in the air, which will ensure continuous operation

The US Army has patented a revolutionary technology that will allow drones to fly continuously. A new method of recharging drones in the air was developed by specialists of the Army Research Laboratory in Maryland. The system works on the principle of refueling aircraft in the air. The main drone carries a special cable connected to the ground power station. Other drones can be connected to this cable for recharging.

The cable has several docking points with electrical connectors. Drones can be attached to them, charged, and then detached to perform tasks. The technology allows drones to perform long-term monitoring from different angles. This solves the problem of limited flight time of electric drones. drones.

The system has several mechanisms for connecting and disconnecting drones in flight. The docking points are equipped with magnetic elements for reliable contact. The use of multiple drones on a common cable has a number of advantages. They can conduct continuous surveillance, maneuver in difficult environments and hide the location of a ground station. The US Army is interested in increasing the duration of the flight of drones. Most modern drones have electric motors, which limit the flight range compared to gasoline counterparts. Other countries are working on similar technologies. For example, Elistair recently joined forces with Rheinmetall Canada Inc. They are developing a complex of a tethered drone and a ground-based unmanned aerial vehicle for military needs.
