High Altitude Long Endurance (Pseudo Satellite) Industry Developments

BAE Systems plc, July 2023, has successfully propelled its high-altitude pseudo satellite (HAPS) uncrewed aerial system (UAS) PHASA-35 solar drone to the stratosphere at an altitude of over 66,000 feet (20,000m). The test was recently sponsored by the United States Army Space Missile Defense Command Technical Center. The goal with PHASA-35 is for it to be able to fly above the weather and air traffic for a year at a time in such a manner it serves as a pseudo-satellite over a broad area.

Similarly, in March 2023 Thales received USD 46 million contract for the EuroHAPS High Altitude Platform Systems project. A twenty-country European consortium intends to create this platform in the stratosphere. This will be achieved through the provision of Stratobus by Thales, which is the longest-endurance mission airship with large payloads that are solar-powered. Major partners of EuroHAPS are CIRA (Italy), Elettronica (Italy), Leonardo (Italy), ONERA (France), CEA (France), INTA (Spain), ESG (Germany), TAO(Germany).

For example, National Aerospace Laboratories launched India’s first High Altitude Platform (HAP) in March 2023. There are many applications such as wireless access and emergency communication under high altitude platform, especially communication field. Besides that it can help security forces monitor borders properly to check infiltration or smuggling into their territories. It can also be used by local administration to monitor pollution levels and keep track of developmental activities happening around particular areas within its jurisdiction. According to scientists from the organization HAP would take approximately three years before it will become fully operationalized.

In January 2022, Sky Perfect JSAT, NTT, DOCOMO and Airbus joined forces to explore Haps-based connectivity services towards building a space-based wireless connectivity ecosystem. NTT and SKY Perfect JSAT have also collaborated on the outer space ICT infrastructure project and implemented a space-integrated computing network. Therefore, market players’ R&D initiatives, coupled with growing acceptance, particularly in various Asian countries, are projected to boost Asia Pacific HAPS adoption during the forecast period.
