About the company
Created in 2014 and based in Lyon (France) and Wilmington (USA), Elistair designs and manufactures smart tethered drone systems for perimeter protection, border surveillance, and event security.
Its patented micro-tether technology solves battery limitations by providing continuous power from a generator or electric grid, enabling uninterrupted day-to-night operations and secure, interference-resistant data transmission.
Elistair serves armed forces, civil security services, and private companies in over 70 countries. It mainly works with national security and defense organizations, offering two patented product lines: KHRONOS, a fully automated tethered DroneBox, and SAFE-T and LIGH-T stations, which convert free-flying drones into tethered ones. Clients include the French Defence Agency, Thales, the US Army, UK police, Total, Paris Airports, Securitas, ENGIE, and Vodafone.
