"The most intelligent Tethered Drone System"
Singapore-based tethered drone system manufacturer enabling 24/7 persistent aerial surveillance for public safety, border patrol, and defense with cable.
Volarious is a Singapore-based manufacturer of intelligent tethered drone systems, operating as a product brand under parent company Avetics Global Pte Ltd. Founded in 2018, the company designs ground-to-air tethered power and control systems that convert commercial drones, primarily DJI enterprise models (Matrice 30/30T, Matrice 350, Mavic 3 Enterprise) and Autel EVO Max 4T, into persistent aerial platforms capable of continuous flight without battery limitations.
The company's flagship product line, the V-Line Pro, feeds regulated DC power from a ground-based reel unit through an aviation-grade cable up to 100 m in length. The system weighs 17 kg, operates on 90 to 264 VAC input converted to 350 to 410 VDC output at up to 1,800 W, and supports cable ascent at 5 m/s and descent at 3 m/s. A companion Android app (V-Line App) provides autonomous take-off and landing with centimeter-level precision, real-time telemetry, geo-fence awareness, and wind-speed monitoring. The system deploys in under 60 seconds. Modular payloads include a 20,000-lumen area light and a 12,000-lumen floodlight for nighttime operations, as well as mesh network nodes for communications relay. Backup battery flight time is 20 minutes per power module.
The V-Scout is a vehicle-mounted variant designed to be permanently fixed to a pick-up truck or minivan. The operator can initiate flight from inside the cabin; the system automatically maintains tether tension via an auto-tension reel. V-Scout offers a 60 m tether range and targets law enforcement mobile command units, convoy surveillance, and border patrol.
The V-Pack is a ruggedized transport backpack solution for the DJI Matrice 200 series, enabling field-expedient carry for first responders.
Primary markets served include public safety agencies, law enforcement, border control, military units, and enterprise operators requiring long-duration aerial monitoring. Use cases include crowd analytics, traffic monitoring, search and rescue, disaster management, construction site oversight, event surveillance, and offshore inspection. The system is sold through a global dealer network with resellers in the United States, Australia, South Africa, and Greece.
Key differentiators include unlimited continuous flight time with 24/7 operation demonstrated in published tests, AI-assisted autonomous launch and recovery, vehicle-following mode, and boat-following mode.

ByRobotToday Reporter Jun 15, 2026Ukraine’s ‘Sub Sea Baby’ autonomous torpedo struck a Russian Kilo-class submarine inside Novorossiysk harbour in December 2025 — the first confirmed underwater drone attack on a submarine in history. The U.S. Navy is requesting $5.3 billion for unmanned maritime systems in FY2026, a 70 percent year-on-year increase. Saronic Technologies went from prototype to $392 million production contract in under 12 months. And DARPA’s Manta Ray XL-UUV completed full-scale sea trials. This article maps the maritime autonomous systems revolution — from Ukraine’s improvised Black Sea fleet to the Pentagon’s hybrid manned–unmanned force of the 2030s, and from Saronic’s Franklin, Louisiana shipyard to Boeing’s 85-tonne robot submarine.
ByThomas Siew Apr 20, 2026Ukraine fielded 15,000 unmanned ground vehicles in 2025 — surpassing its own procurement targets by over 100 percent. A single UGV held a front-line position for 45 days. Up to 90 percent of supplies to Pokrovsk now move by robot, not truck. The U.S. Army cancelled its $3 million Robotic Combat Vehicle and is starting over. China is deploying $3,000 robot dogs in PLA urban-warfare exercises. This article maps the emerging UGV battlefield — from Ukraine’s garage-built logistics fleet to the Pentagon’s stalled combat-vehicle ambitions, and from Ghost Robotics’ Vision 60 to the quadruped proliferation problem no treaty has yet addressed.
