HAPS Technology
High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) are large, solar-powered, unmanned aerial vehicles designed to operate in the Earth's stratosphere (altitudes of 13-20km), above conventional air traffic and weather patterns.
Serving as a bridge between conventional UAVs and traditional satellites, HAPS offer long-duration, continuous flight capabilities without the need for complex launch operations.
Compared to UAVs
• Increased geographic coverage.
• Higher endurance (i.e., longer flight times).
• Increased durability.
• Ability to support 5G connectivity and IoT use cases.
Compared to Satellites
• Enhanced image resolutions.
• Higher degree of maneuverability.
• Improved communications security.
• Increased ease of deployment.
• Reduced latency.
• Lower costs.
• Ability to be reused for multiple flights.
