<p>Dear Rick Mislan, PhD<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Mavrix1<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Founder , CTO <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to explore the benefits of tethered drone systems with us today.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Tethered drones provide a persistent, secure, and highly elevated &#8220;virtual high ground&#8221; for ISR, communications extension, and airspace awareness&#8212;filling the low-altitude blind spots that ground sensors and traditional aircraft cannot cover. Operating at
 adjustable heights just above the tree line, these systems overcome terrain and vegetation masking, dramatically increasing real detection volume without introducing new hazards, emitting RF energy, or adding airspace risk. Their fiber-optic tether ensures
 immunity to jamming, hacking, and GPS denial while enabling long-duration operations that maneuver with the host platform to maintain optimal positioning. This height-adaptive, low-signature approach satisfies FAA safety priorities and DoD mission requirements,
 giving land and maritime units persistent situational awareness, resilient communications, and enhanced C-UAS capability at a fraction of the cost and signature of aircraft, satellites, or fixed towers&#8212;allowing forces to see first, act first, and finish decisively.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We believe tethered drones will continue to play a strong and enduring role due to the immutable benefits of line-of-sight and physics. A range of emerging passive and active sensing technologies&#8212;such as micro laser designators from Erete&#8217; integrated on
 Trillium gimbals&#8212;will rely on clear LOS to reach their full potential. You mentioned O-Circle, which is fascinating, and there are many other rapidly advancing capabilities, such as those from DeepNight.ai, that underscore the need for high mobility, elevated
 and persistent platforms.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Ultimately, advanced sensors and algorithms will require a mobile, elevated, and enduring vantage point to guide weapons on target, enhance small-unit survivability, and resolve capability mismatches that will define future conflicts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving and Christmas.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am hopeful that your tight schedule can make room for a visit in the new year. God Bless<o:p></o:p></p>
