Route to Market Reports: High Altitude Platform Communications
Marketing
This briefing covers the use of satellite communications in the High-Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS) sector. The sector covers long endurance platforms that remain on station above regulated air space and are used to provide communications and surveillance services. The briefing addresses the need for satcom connectivity beyond line of sight, either for command and control or backhaul of communications from the HAPS platform. Consideration is given to the global opportunity over the period 2017 to 2030. As an adjunct to the sector, the use of sensor technologies and processing applications developed in the space Earth Observation sector is considered for surveillance applications from HAPS, particularly in the military sector.
