About High Altitude Platform
The high-altitude platform is an aircraft, usually airplanes or unmanned airships positioned in the stratosphere, in order to compose remote sensing or telecommunications network. It differs from other aircraft in the sense that it is specially designed to operate at a very high altitude and is able to stay there for hours, even days.HAP enables governments to expand their defense technology portfolio and use advanced technology systems for surveillance and data relays across uneven terrains such as large water bodies which are relatively hard to reach by terrestrial towers.
