SAFE-T 2
ElistairThe Elistair Safe-T 2 is a tethered drone power station manufactured by Elistair (founded 2014, Lyon, France), designed to provide continuous ground power to compatible multirotor drones for persistent aerial surveillance and ISR missions. It supports up to 2,200W continuous / 2,500–2,800W peak power delivery via a 100–110m micro-tether, is compatible with 25+ drone platforms including DJI Matrice series, and is rated IP54 with operational range from -20°C to 50°C and up to 4,000m MSL. The system is approved by the French Civil Aviation Authority, is CE and NDAA compliant, and has been deployed in 70+ countries with 2,000+ units in service including by the UN and US Army. As a tethering station (not an autonomous drone itself), the Safe-T 2 enables extended drone flight but requires a human operator to pilot the attached drone, placing it in a human-operated task execution model.

Evidence-graded claims from the Elistair deep report
Khronos DroneBox is a fully automated system: push-button operation, automatic takeoff and landing, airborne in under 2 minutes, 24-hour uninterrupted continuous flight, with full failsafe — operator only needs to monitor surveillance output.
All automation claims originate exclusively from Elistair's own product pages and press releases [3][13]; no independent teardown, third-party operational review, or customer report is present in the dossier to corroborate the claimed autonomy level.
from Elistair deep report →Elistair has deployed 2,000+ units to 600+ customers across 70+ countries, enabling 200,000+ hours of overwatch.
These deployment figures are repeated consistently across Elistair's own official and commerce pages [1][6][12], but no independent audit, third-party market report, or customer verification is present in the dossier to substantiate the specific numbers.
from Elistair deep report →The Orion 2 military persistent drone achieved a 50-hour continuous flight record, and Elistair holds a DGA (French Armament General Directorate) framework agreement for the Orion 2.
Both the 50-hour flight record and the DGA framework agreement are sourced from Elistair's own news releases [11][12]; no independent DGA confirmation, official procurement notice, or third-party reporting is present in the dossier.
from Elistair deep report →Elistair secured a €3M contract with an allied military force and supplied 13 drones to Terra Spatium (Greece), demonstrating real-world military deployment at scale beyond pilot programs.
Both contracts are cited in Elistair's own news releases [11][12]; the allied military customer is unnamed, and no independent procurement record, customer statement, or third-party reporting corroborates either deal.
from Elistair deep report →The Safe-T 2 tethering station delivers up to 2,500W peak power via a 110m micro-tether, is IEC 62368 certified, CE and NDAA compliant, and supports DJI M400/M350, FLIR SkyRaider, and other 6S/8S/12S drones.
All specifications and compliance claims are drawn from Elistair's official product pages [4][7]; IEC/CE/NDAA certifications are plausible and self-reported, but no independent certification body confirmation or third-party test data appears in the dossier.
from Elistair deep report →Elistair raised a €5M Series B from Omnes and Starquest Capital (announced 2021), representing the company's most recent disclosed funding round.
The €5M Series B is confirmed in Elistair's own news release [9][10]; no independent financial press coverage or investor confirmation appears in the dossier, and no subsequent funding rounds are documented, leaving the current financial position unverified.
from Elistair deep report →
Khronos can be deployed vehicle-mounted with a follow-me function, allowing operators to remain inside the vehicle during operation — enabling mobile persistent ISR without dismounting.
Vehicle-mounted and follow-me capabilities are claimed on Elistair's official product page [3], but no independent field demonstration, military exercise report, or third-party video/review in the dossier confirms this capability has been operationally validated — and the ORION 2026 exercise mention is also vendor-sourced only.
