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.
