Easy Aerial, a Brooklyn based provider of autonomous drone-based monitoring solutions for government, public safety, military, and commercial applications, launched its latest system, the Smart Aerial Monitoring System, SAMS-T-MINI.
The SAMS-T-MINI is a very compact and portable tethered drone in a box designed for mission-critical, on the move operations. It provides constant eye-in-the-sky surveillance for extended periods of time to obtain aerial imagery and situational awareness, either stationary or on a moving vehicle. The SAMS-T-MINI joins a line of SAMS and SAMS-T systems currently on offer from Easy Aerial.
“Our customers made clear that they needed a compact, portable, affordable, and versatile autonomous security solution,” says Ido Gur, Co-Founder, and CEO of Easy Aerial. “The SAMS-T-MINI answers this need by providing constant and customized eye-in-the-sky surveillance for extended periods of time, allowing them to obtain aerial imagery and situational awareness.”
The SAMS-T-MINI features a 320-foot data-over-power (DOP) enhanced tether for resilient, unjammable data security. It can support 24 hours of continuous flight, even in extreme weather conditions, and offers precise hovering over the ground station. Weighing just 35 lbs (16 kg) and having a multiple payload capacity (up to 15 different payloads) of up to 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg), the SAMS-T-MINI is light and portable, making it ideal for mission-critical, on-the-move operations. It is compatible with Easy Aerial’s entire line of rugged, military-grade drones.
Like all of Easy Aerial’s autonomous, cost-effective Smart Aerial Monitoring Systems, the SAMS-T-MINI combines drone-in-a-box simplicity with military-grade durability that can be remotely deployed and operated from anywhere in the world, including GPS-denied environments, without the need of an onsite operator.
Designed and manufactured in the United States, Easy Aerial solutions are rugged, durable, all-weather capable, and designed to operate in the most inhospitable environments with little to no infrastructure support. The company’s line of SAMS includes free-flight and tethered autonomous systems that accommodate a variety of sensor payloads. With the ability to deploy anywhere, the systems take off and land from a portable, rechargeable enclosure without the need for on-site human intervention.

Yet another toy in the UAS space that emergency responders will be duped into buying. CyPhy Works already tried this and failed. An aircraft tethered to the ground is too limited and has no value.
