MERKÜT TETHERED
The MERKÜT variant providing full immunity to jamming through a fibre-optic tethered data link, offered with cable lengths ranging from 10 km to 30 km.

- MERKÜT E/OElectro-optical daylight camera, precise target discrimination
- MERKÜT THERMALHeat-signature detection, effective against camouflaged targets
- MERKÜT TETHEREDVIEWINGFibre-optic tethered data link, full immunity to jamming with 10–30 km cable options
Strategic superiority in multi-role operations
High performance in reconnaissance, surveillance and target-oriented missions. Its modular structure adapts rapidly to differing mission requirements.

Fibre-optic tethered control system
With range options starting from 10 km, it provides safe and uninterrupted operation unaffected by electronic warfare.
High-quality video transmission
Long-range day and night vision support with uninterrupted high-resolution video transmission.

Tactical carry case (2 × MERKÜT Tethered)
Purpose-built for high mobility and rapid deployment in the field. Its compact design lets two MERKÜT Tethered systems be carried safely with all their equipment.
The ergonomic structure offers comfort during extended use, and an optimised interior layout protects equipment from shock and vibration.
