The optical, thermal and map and telemetry data can be streamed from the GCS to anywhere in the world with sub-second latency using the Field to Command router

Field to Command uses 256-level encryption over 4G/5G LTE or SATCOM (or any existing data network, including multi-hop radio mesh) to stream the data to a secure (customer-owned or ED-hosted) server where the data can be viewed on a simple web browser or optionally integrated into existing command systems. The feed provides a higher resolution daylight EO, thermal and map data that can be viewed all on one screen or full screen, including multiple screens for each feed

All Sky Mantis UAVs are compatible with the Evolve Dynamics Infinity Tether system - a compact, lightweight solution that allows the Sky Mantis to operate for an extended duration of 48 hours continuously. This gives an unprecedented airborne ISR capability when combined with the dual EO/IR payload for static location security.    

Evolve Dynamics can also integrate a number of end-user communications systems to create a persistent over-the-horizon communications relay in support of ground assets. The system has a 'hot drop’ capability that allows the tether cable to be dropped in flight, at altitude, after which the Sky Mantis can fly for a further 30 minutes. The system can very quickly be converted back to, untethered mode, by inserting the standard 1-hour flight battery.

Infinity tether core features are: 

• 48 Hour flight time (on tether) 
• 30 Minute flight time (Hot Drop from tether)
• High weather resistance - Only minimal reduction in wind speed from UAV operating alone - up to 35 knots
• 100m altitude with 30m lateral positional movement.
• Aircraft command and control over tether cable (RF Silent)
• Generator or mains powered (Vehicle power integration possible)
  

The Sky Mantis is an extremely capable UAS that has operated in the Temperate, Arctic and desert environments, in high winds and rain, both at sea and on land. It has been designed to support the defence sector, emergency services, search and rescue and other government agencies.

The Sky Mantis has been built from the ground up with the end user’s needs in mind, which reduces pilot burden and ensures performance in environments where other systems may fail. A highly capable system with advanced payloads and a suite of supporting equipment to provide persistent flight and unmatched situational awareness, in any environment.
