About CableGuard

CableGuard manages the physical cable used between FlyFocus aircraft and ground equipment during tethered or cable-supported operations. Its structure guides the line as it pays out and retracts, reducing sharp bends, abrasion and contact with surrounding surfaces. Controlled cable routing also limits loose sections that could catch on equipment, vegetation or structures during launch, flight and recovery.

The unit is used as part of a complete field deployment with compatible FlyFocus aircraft, ground stations and communications equipment. Operators position it between the airborne platform and the cable source so that line movement remains organised throughout the mission. FlyFocus supplies CableGuard as an operational accessory for surveillance and specialist UAV systems requiring repeated, sustained cable handling.
