About
Easy Aerial is a US-based manufacturer of advanced autonomous Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), specializing in tethered drone platforms and Drone-in-a-Box solutions for defense, security, and commercial sectors. All products are proudly made in the USA, listed on the DIU Blue Clear List, and fully NDAA compliant, making them a trusted choice for government and military procurement. The company's tethered UAS solutions deliver persistent aerial surveillance with up to 11 lbs of payload capacity, enabling continuous eye-in-the-sky coverage without battery limitations. Their mobile Drone-in-a-Box systems are engineered for operations on the move, deployable from vehicles and vessels in the most demanding environments. Key capabilities include autonomous remote deployment from any global location, AES256-encrypted datalinks with FIPS 140-2 compatibility, and a rugged handheld ground control station powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor with 2x2 MIMO RF links. The systems are designed to function reliably in harsh weather and hostile environments. Founded and developed by former military personnel alongside aerospace, robotics, and software engineers — with support from the US Air Force — Easy Aerial has delivered hundreds of systems globally. Their solutions serve mobile military operations, border and perimeter security, on-site infrastructure inspection, and persistent commercial surveillance, providing unparalleled situational awareness across a wide range of mission profiles.

Use Cases
- Persistent perimeter and border security surveillance using tethered UAS platforms that provide continuous aerial coverage without landing.
- Mobile military operations requiring autonomous Drone-in-a-Box systems deployable from ground vehicles or naval vessels in combat or austere environments.
- Critical infrastructure inspection such as pipelines, power lines, and facilities using free-flight or tethered drones with high-capacity sensor payloads.
- Rapid situational awareness deployment for first responders or defense teams needing an eye-in-the-sky that can be remotely launched and controlled worldwide.
- Commercial and government security operations requiring NDAA-compliant autonomous aerial systems that meet federal procurement standards.
Pros
- US-Made with Defense Certifications: ISO9001, AS9100 certified and NDAA compliant — purpose-built for government, military, and regulated commercial use cases.
- Fully Autonomous Remote Deployment: Systems can be launched and operated from anywhere in the world, dramatically reducing the need for on-site personnel.
- Versatile Platform for Multiple Missions: Supports both tethered persistent surveillance and free-flight modes, covering inspection, security, and mobile operations from a single product family.
Cons
- Enterprise/Government Pricing: As a professional defense-grade hardware solution, pricing is aimed at organizations and government agencies rather than individual users or small businesses.
- Limited Consumer Accessibility: The specialized nature of the product — including military certifications and regulatory requirements — limits accessibility for non-defense commercial operators.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tethered UAS and how does it differ from a standard drone?
A tethered UAS is physically connected to a ground station via a tether cable that supplies continuous power, allowing indefinite flight time unlike battery-powered drones. This enables persistent surveillance without landing for battery swaps.
Are Easy Aerial products NDAA compliant?
Yes. All Easy Aerial products are fully NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) compliant and are listed on the DIU Blue Clear List, making them eligible for US government and defense procurement.
Can Easy Aerial systems be operated remotely?
Yes. All Easy Aerial solutions can be automatically deployed and commanded remotely from any location around the world, enabling hands-off operation without personnel at the launch site.
What environments are Easy Aerial drones designed for?
Easy Aerial systems are designed for harsh and hostile environments, including extreme weather conditions. Their Drone-in-a-Box systems are built to operate on vehicles and vessels, supporting mobile military and security missions in the field.
What certifications does Easy Aerial hold?
Easy Aerial is ISO9001 and AS9100 certified, listed on the DIU Blue Clear List, and all products are NDAA compliant. The handheld controller is also DIU Blue List Certified.
