General Description 

Overall Presentation 

Ligh-T is a rugged tethering station for multirotor drones. This compact and robust solution enables the 
transmission  of  power  from  an  external  ground  power  supply  unit  to  the  drone  through  the  micro-
tether. The  aramid core of the  micro-tether  ensures  the drone remains attached to the base  station 
providing a safe phase of flight. 

Ligh-T comprises of three main parts: the ground station, the micro-tether and the air module.
