The Argus MTS represents a new approach for aerostats which have been a very popular solution for ISR capabilities for U.S and foreign Governments around the world. The Argus MTS has all the characteristics of an standard aerostat but differs by utilizing the highly efficient Argus One modular designed body which can cope with winds more effectively.

The Argus MTS is specifically designed for quick deployment. The whole system, including the deflated airship, is transported in a container on top of a vehicle (HUMVEE for military application). After attaching the payload to the tether line, an automatic sequence can be started, which inflates the aerostat and releases the tether until a preselected altitude has been reached. The Argus MTS can be outfitted with various payloads consisting of electro-optical (day time) and night vision cameras, which have an effective surveillance diameter of about 150 miles at the blimp's operating altitude.
