With the use of various platforms, such as airships or aircraft, high altitude aeronautical platform stations (HAAPS) technology makes it possible to provide wireless narrowband and broadband telecommunication services as well as broadcasting services. High altitude aeronautical platform stations can cover a service area of around 1,000 kilometers in diameter. The minimal elevation angle that may be accepted from the user's location determines the service area coverage. High altitude aeronautical platform stations comprise a flying platform with a communications payload and related ground station communications gear.
The ability of high altitude aeronautical platform stations to provide several services is one of its most significant characteristics. The connection and switching of traffic between various high altitude platforms, satellite networks, and terrestrial gateways is also made feasible by this technology. On the other hand, during the past ten years, lighter-than-air (LTA) technology has made considerable advancements. For end users, research on high-altitude platforms has started as the usage of LTA technology has grown.
Modern LTA vehicles are technologically advanced and are actively used by both military forces and the commercial sector for a variety of reasons, including intelligence gathering, surveillance, and reconnaissance. The high altitude aeronautical platform station is an autonomous platform that can operate in the stratosphere at altitudes between 17 and 23 km. It has a high degree of endurance and could last for weeks or months.
High altitude aeronautical platform stations provide various benefits over terrestrial radio networks and satellite communications, driving the HAAPS market expansion. Increasing altitude aeronautical platform stations are in high demand due to advantages including low cost, quick deployment, simple relocation, wide coverage, and minimal environmental effect.
However, constructing an aircraft to fly in the stratosphere is a significant technological challenge because of issues with dependability, thermal management, energy generation and storage, lightweight construction, and operating at low altitudes. Furthermore, it is not viable to create a superior high-altitude aviation platform station owing to financial constraints.
Owing to its durability and ability to operate at high altitudes, HAAPS offers the most suited alternative for emergency deployment in the event of a disaster. However, HAAPS may be incorporated with current technologies, not replacing them, for mainstream communication. HAAPS are especially well suited for deployment if temporary capacity expansion is needed.
In addition, there are ongoing initiatives in which businesses are attempting to employ (photovoltaic cells) more frequently as the main energy source of high altitude aeronautical platforms to lengthen flying times. This may also increase the adoption of HAAPS in the defense and military sectors.
North America holds a leading market share, and it accounted for nearly 24.3% of its market share in 2022. The creation of manned and unmanned high-altitude aircraft, including the U-2 plane, in the United States marked the beginning of HAAPS, making North America its progenitor.
This region is also estimated to grow at a higher pace during the forecast period due to certain growth factors like more-intense competition, new product launches, retrofitting, and renovating old technology.
In Europe, the defense industry has a significant impact, making it a second-leading market share for HAAPS. The market in Europe held about 21.2% in 2022. For the United Kingdom military ministries, the QinetiQ business in the United Kingdom constructed the Zephyr, an ultra-light high-altitude long-endurance UAV, in 2006.
A hand-launched UAV made of carbon fiber is called the Zephyr. This lightweight, low-cost UAV has recently completed an 82-hour flight at a 20-kilometer altitude. It is helpful in the global battle against terrorism as well as for radio communications relay and surveillance.
While outsourcing the satellite bus, launch, and ground communications to the prototype suppliers, the entrepreneurs are developing their payloads.
For instance, Lacuna Space tests services using its prototype satellites before choosing a manufacturer for its constellation. The goal is to create an IoT system, a tracking and sensor detection service with extremely cheap costs for modest volumes of data.
Sky Station, an airship system developed by Sky Station International, StartSat, an airship system developed by United Kingdom company Advanced Technology Group., moreover, Stratospheric Platform System, a project of the Wireless Innovation Systems Group of the Yokosuka Radio Communications Research Centre in Japan, are a few examples of high altitude aeronautical platform station projects. These big corporations are adopting several strategies, both together and individually, to lead the HAAPS market.
