Overview

Background & policy context:

The needs and potential became increasingly apparent for a category of aerial platform, one able to operate and offer services from an altitude lower than space-based satellites but higher than that currently used by commercial aircraft - i.e. from the stratosphere. New requirements and opportunities arose especially in the communications, remote sensing and security sectors.

Objectives:

The objectives were to:

  • Analyse HAAS State-of-the-Art;
  • Analyse HAAS missions, needs and applications;
  • Prepare a HAAS Strategic Research Agenda for Europe.

Methodology:

A comprehensive survey has been undertaken of the state-of-the art in HAAS technology and projects; the worldwide market, the research and industrial situation in Europe and elsewhere.
