Carolina Unmanned Vehicles (CUV) is a small woman-owned company focused on small mobile tethered blimp, the Lightweight Aerostat System (LAS) with payloads up to 30 kg. Larger payloads can be accommodated. LAS can carry EO/IR payloads for very long term surveillance of camps and other facilities and is adaptable to COMINT / SIGINT payloads and communications relays. Customers include the Army, USAF, Lockheed and Sandia Lab. Our Small Tactical Multi-Payload Aerostat System (STMPAS) was deployed to Afghanistan to provide EO/IR surveillance for small tactical units. Non-military applications include law enforcement, border security and research. CUV is also involved with the Excipio and Spitfire kinetic counter-UAS systems.
