Dual Payload Khronos is a multi-mission tethered drone that lifts both a Silvus StreamCaster 4200P radio, and a Nextvision DragonEye2 camera in a single platform.
The next evolution of France’s Elistair tethered drone systems made its debut at Milipol 2025, introducing a dual-payload upgrade that packs persistent intelligence and secure comms into a single lift.
The Khronos Dual Payload fuses a Silvus StreamCaster 4200P tactical radio with a Nextvision DragonEye2 electro-optical camera, creating a compact platform built for multi-mission ops.
It can be fitted to tethered drones, turning them into aerial masts that extend mesh networks and provide real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), even in GPS-denied environments.
