With today’s homeland security concerns, the need
to do more with less, provide
cost-effective and intelligent
solutions to surveil borders,
and coastal environments,
TCOM’s tactical and strategic
Aerostats, outperform other
solutions by carrying a wide
variety of payload to altitudes
of 20,000 ft. with station time
measured in weeks not hours.

enables HD EO/IR of much better quality.
Border and military can rapidly deploy lighter than
air aerostats, instead of costly manned aircraft, so
more distance and operating conditions will deliver
commanders with higher flexibility in achieving their
persistent surveillance border security objectives, at
a substantially lower hourly operational cost than
conventional aircraft and drones.
Simply put, aerostats enable true persistent, real-time
tactical ISR at an affordable cost, and serve as a plat-
form for an array of sensors to provide indications and
warnings of aerial and maritime threats.
TCOM’s sensors & data processors often serve as the ‘eyes’ of de-
ployed maritime border security.
