Field notes
The system diagram separates the hardware into anchors that mark an area and a receiver carried by the drone. NavTether describes the receiver as a compact add-on for a flight controller and the anchor as a sealed, ultra-low-power box with an intended unattended life of up to ten years. Those are product descriptions on the page; no test data or operating specifications are provided.
