15. POWERED/TETHERED SYSTEM 15 Tethered System- Power is transmitted via a lightweight power cord from any ground generator (`3kVA class) or a standard 13A 230V AC wall supply. The power cord allows for flights up to 60m in height, providing a quick deployable eyes in the sky. Back up Battery System- In event of Ground Power interruption, on board batteries allow up to 200s of additional flight time (which at a max descent rate of 0.5m/s, allows the MAV to land safety from up to a height of 100m). Additional Safety- To maximise public safety, the power cord includes a strong Kevlar cord which serves as a tether, limiting MAV’s movement within a radius equal to the length of the tether. This cord has a breaking strength of 100lb (45.5kg) which is more than the maximum thrust of 10kg achievable by the MAV’s motors/propellers, thus the MAV is never able to break away from the ground securing point.
