Abstract: An electrical power supply system for a tethered, small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a ground station (1) connected to a universal aerial power supply 13 by a tether 10. The ground station has an electrical power supply to deliver power to the tether and an electrical connector 8 that separably connects with a ground end of the tether. The universal aerial power supply includes a DC-DC converter 16 and has a connector 15 that separably connects with an airborne end of the tether. The universal aerial power supply mechanically and electrically connects with a power dock D of a UAV. The ground station is adapted to deliver a selected one of a range of discrete voltages to the connected tether. The voltage delivered by the universal aerial power supply to the UAV is determined by the voltage applied to the tether, so that the universal power supply can deliver the power demand to any of a range of UAVs having differing power requirements. Power may only be delivered to the tether and universal aerial power supply when the selected ground station output voltage is compatible with the tether connected to the ground station, wherein the class of tether used is determined by a corresponding class of UAV. The universal aerial power supply may include two or more DC-DC converters in parallel to distribute generated heat.
