The Kite 75 comes with a factory-fitted tether system, which allows for seamless switching between tether and battery operation without any need for tools. It can be easily and efficiently adjusted to suit the mission requirements, ensuring maximum versatility and operational flexibility. This flexible adaptability provides greater operational freedom.

 

The Kite 75 is already equipped with an EU Drone ID system.

EU Drone ID" refers to identification standards following the EU Drone Regulation that ensure clear identification of drones during operation. This serves to improve airspace surveillance and safety.

The Kite 75 is already equipped with an ADS-B system ex works.

ADS-B passive refers to the reception of aircraft data from other aviation participants. This technology enables aircraft to be monitored by recording and analyzing their automatic ADS-B transmissions.

Der Kite 75 ist mit einem hochwertigen FLARM-System ausgestattet.

FLARM" steht für "Flight Alarm" und ist ein Kollisionsvermeidungssystem, das drahtlos Positionsdaten zwischen Flugzeugen austauscht, um Kollisionen zu verhindern. Es wird vor allem in der Segelflug- und General Aviation eingesetzt.

Kite 75: Modular design for maximum flexibility

In addition to the normal cold start mode, which only takes around 1 to 2 minutes for the Kite 75 under normal circumstances, the Kite 75 offers a standby mode that allows the user to put the Kite 75 into standby mode some time before an operation without having to connect a drive battery.

This means that the Kite 75 can be safely put on standby in the emergency vehicle or a protected location. When the mission command is given, the Kite 75 is ready for take-off in less than 10 seconds from standby mode.

To decouple the IMU of the flight controller from fluctuating outside temperatures, it is heated up to 50°C after initialization. This usually happens completely unnoticed and within a minute. In very cold outside temperatures, this heating process can take a little longer and unintentionally extend the start time. The IMU of the Kite 75 is already heated up in standby mode. In this way, the Kite 75 is ready for take-off immediately after connecting the flight battery from standby mode. 

In addition to the standard payload, the Kite 75 offers the option of adding a sophisticated EO/IR zoom camera gimbal with night vision. This optional camera unit, attached to the front of the Kite 75 and detachable, acts as an intelligent FPV zoom camera with multiple functions, including

  • automatic tracking, 
  • object tracking, 
  • geolocation, 
  • fire and smoke detection, 
  • detection of people in the water 
  • license plate recognition.

At the same time, the payload adapter on the underside of the Kite 75 enables the flexible attachment of a wide range of other payloads, such as

  • additional camera gimbals, 
  • a variety of sensors 
  • or the transportation of a wide range of goods

Experience long flight times and ultimate performance with the Kite 75. State-of-the-art LiIon battery technology sets new standards and enables flight times of 40+ minutes*. Discover the future of drone technology - reliable, powerful, and ready for any challenge!

* Measured with quadrocopter drive unit and dual gimbal with FLIR 640x480 and RGB camera with 20x optical zoom. The kite can also be operated with standard LiPo batteries.

The switchable innovative RGB LED lighting of the Kite 75 guarantees excellent visibility at dusk and at night.

Selectable sequences and a wide range of colors guarantee optimum visibility. The optional IR lighting enables invisible night-time use without revealing the position of the Kite 75. With a total of 7 lighting units, the Kite 75 sets new standards for safe and flexible flying.

The Kite 75 is optionally equipped with a LIDAR-based obstacle avoidance system that detects obstacles at an angle of 320° and thus prevents collisions. This ensures optimum safety for smooth mission operations.

The Kite 75 allows flight times of several hours with local use on the tether. With the option of simply switching to tether operation, it theoretically enables unlimited stationary missions without a stopover. Flight altitudes of up to 100m AGL are possible without any problems. Power is supplied via the cable. A buffer battery on the Kite 75 ensures operational reliability.

The bidirectional data transmission via Ethernet over the tether cable allows not only control, but also operation of the payload and video transmission - all without a radio link.

The Kite 75 is equipped with an advanced multi-band GNSS receiver that enables exceptional precision in spatial orientation. Compared to conventional GNSS systems, multi-band GNSS enables more accurate positioning through the simultaneous use of multiple frequency bands.

Optionally, the Kite 75 can be equipped with a second GNSS receiver to integrate high-precision heading via the GNSS signal.

With the telemetry status monitoring of the Kite 75, you always have an up-to-date overview of the most important UAV data. The color display of the GCS allows you to quickly read the telemetry data transmitted in real time. This includes flight duration, battery voltage, current, battery capacity drawn, remaining capacity indicator, flight altitude AGL and ASL, geocoordinates of the drone, number of satellites, quality of GNSS signals and much more. 

Precise information for optimum control and monitoring during the entire flight.

 

The silent mode of the Kite 75 enables missions to be carried out without a radio link to the GCS. This function allows the Kite 75 to operate without communicating with the ground control station. Ideal for missions where inconspicuous and autonomous operation is crucial. 

 

The Kite 75 not only impresses with its technology, but also with its well-thought-out design. The integrated handle makes it easy to transport to the place of use and allows the Kite 75 to be carried with just one hand. What may seem unimportant at first glance turns out to make handling easy at second glance.

A well-thought-out feature for more flexibility on every mission!

The Kite 75 autopilot meets the highest safety requirements and is equipped with a triple redundant IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). Two of the IMUs are damped and heated, while one remains undamped as a reference. This ensures reliable and precise flight control under various conditions. With the modern ARM® Cortex® H7 processor, the autopilot is ideally equipped for future features.

Fly with confidence and maximum safety!
