The present invention relates to a tethered aerial system comprising its own means for generating electrical energy, preferably a fuel cell, for powering on-board electronics. In addition, the present invention describes a tether cable (3), comprising non-conducting elements, with features which render the cable less conductive than air. In addition to the mechanical properties of the cable, other features are disclosed, for example a pneumatic feature, the cable comprising a pipe for the passage of gas, which maintains the flow of gas to the fuel cell and/or maintains the gas level in a lighter-than-air platform, so that the tethered aerial system can remain operational for an extended period of time of more than one month and possibly even for years. The subject matter disclosed is particularly applicable in the fields of communication links in remote areas, agriculture and applications in the IOT (
