Eyes on the Perimeter: Enhancing Base Security with Autonomous Overwatch

In today’s evolving threat landscape, perimeter security is no longer a passive task—it demands constant vigilance, real-time situational awareness, and rapid response capabilities. As military installations and critical infrastructure face increasingly complex threats, the need for persistent overwatch solutions has never been greater.

Enter tethered drone systems: a force-multiplying asset designed for continuous, autonomous surveillance without the limitations of battery life or signal dropouts. Unlike traditional UAVs, tethered drones provide extended aerial coverage by remaining connected to a secure ground station via a power and data tether. This allows the platform to maintain constant flight for hours—or even days—while transmitting high-definition, encrypted video in real time.

Unmanned Systems and Solutions, LLC (USaS) is at the forefront of this shift, offering advanced tethered drone technology to support base security and overwatch missions worldwide. Our systems can be deployed in minutes, rapidly elevating electro-optical and infrared sensors above the wire, offering operators a persistent eye in the sky. With autonomous flight stabilization, GPS denial resilience, and multi-sensor integration, our tethered drone systems are redefining what it means to maintain perimeter security.

Whether it’s for expeditionary outposts or permanent installations, tethered drones enable 24/7 monitoring with minimal manpower. This translates to faster threat detection, reduced workload for security forces, and an unmatched ability to dominate the surveillance battlespace.

At USaS, we don’t just provide drones—we deliver overwatch without interruption.
