U.S.-built persistent airborne systems integrating UAS platforms, mission payloads, communications, AI-assisted detection, and command-and-control for defense, security, and public-safety operations.
One integrated architecture. From aircraft to operator. Built for persistent operations.
The aircraft is the beginning of the architecture — carrying the sensor and communications payload aloft, persistently.
Sensors and communications ride the same airframe — configured for the mission at hand.
A single tether carries continuous high-voltage power up and fiber-optic data down — no batteries, no RF.
The tether terminates at the ground system — physically and electrically part of the same platform, not a separate product.
Real-time video, AI-enabled detection, secure communications, and complete aircraft and payload control.

110-240 — AC Input Voltage Explore Ground
The Trailer System is a standalone Zenith mission platform — not an accessory — integrating power, networking, and airborne deployment into a single mobile unit.
110-240 — AC Input Voltage Explore TrailerZenith combines airborne sensors with mission software, computer vision, networking, and command-and-control integration.
Zenith systems are designed to move airborne information into the tools operators already use.
Aircraft position, telemetry, video, sensor information, and target information.
