Cubic LVC's UAV team leader Ben McNiff commented "We used the Dark Matter®system as a surveillance system off-tether and a communication 'mast' on-tether for extended periods of time. The Dark Matter®system proved ultra-stable and performed flawlessly, both on-tether and off-tether. Our customer was extremely impressed with the system's imagery, stability, lift-capacity and adaptability."
