The LiveSky Sentry Advantage

Operator

Gimbal

Intelligent Automatic Tether System

The tether maintains .8lb of tension with automatic reel system to sustain position of the aircraft relative to the ground station.

Fail-Safe Redundancy

LiveSky has fully redundant fail-safe architecture to preserve the system in the event of power interruption or communication loss.

Network Capable

Work seamlessly with existing networks using our open architecture. Our system allows UAVs to be networked with other devices and comprehensively presented to a single source or multiple sources around the globe.

Superior Drone Technology

Hoverfly Technologies is a leading national provider of federal defense drones, security drones, and public safety drones. The LiveSky SENTRY is designed to meet IP54 and MIL-STD-810 standards and is a military-grade tether-powered UAS ready for any mission. Our tether-powered system provides infinite power and continuous operation. It features enterprises multi-site control with Smart Command software by Hexagon. The SENTRY requires minimal training, and no piloting is needed. It also features a PTZ Hi-Def camera with 10x optical zoom, built-in-lead, flank, follow “on the move” technology.

In the Field

Our tethered drones provide continuous communication with no wire or fiber needed for installation and a mobile ad-hoc network of flying communications nodes.

Made in the USA

Our drones are proudly designed, built, and supported in the U.S. Hoverfly has been developing the best Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for industrial, commercial, government, and other specialized applications across the country.

Seamless SDK Integration

Hoverfly’s Software Development Kit (SDK) allows LiveSky and its sensors to be controlled over various networks or the internet for multiple fused sources in a Common Operating Picture (COP). It also enables seamless integration with existing security and video management systems with libraries for .NET, C++, Python, Java, and more. Our SDK provides three levels of access to the Hoverfly system: full control, payload-only control, and telemetry monitoring.
