“Airships platform to be fastest growing segment for the High altitude pseudo satellite market during the forecast period.”

Airships, categorized as High Altitude Pseudo Satellites within the Lighter Than Air (LTA) category, possess technology enabling them to manage their lateral trajectory. They have the capability to operate above or below the 60,000 ft flying altitude (FL600) to harness prevailing winds and maintain pressure equilibrium. Thales Alenia's Stratobus, based in France, provides an extended range of surveillance capabilities and the capacity to remain suspended over specific locations for extended periods, supporting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations, thereby enhancing the defense capabilities of the French military..

“Other (ISR, Monitoring, Search and Rescue, Navigation) Application Segment To Grow At Highest CAGR of 22.1% during the forecast period.”

Other segment of High-Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) offer a diverse range of applications that extend beyond merely delivering internet connectivity. They are increasingly finding utility in various sectors, including Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), monitoring, search and rescue, as well as navigation.

For example, the PHASA 35 HAPS developed by Prismatic Ltd (UK) serves as a consistent and stable platform suitable for tasks such as monitoring, maritime surveillance, agricultural monitoring, communication, and security applications. The ApusDuo HAPS, created by UAVOS Inc. (US), is well-suited for maritime surveillance, border patrol missions, communication services, and forest fire detection and monitoring..

“Commercial end user segment to have higher growth for the High altitude pseudo satellite market during the forecast period.”

Based on end user, the market segmented into commercial, and government & defense. Commercial HAPS have a wide range of applications. They can be utilized for agricultural monitoring, which involves overseeing crops, soil conditions, and weather patterns across extensive farmlands. This collected data aids farmers in making well-informed decisions, allowing them to optimize their agricultural practices and consequently increase crop yields and resource efficiency. Additionally, HAPS contribute to the enhancement of GPS and navigation systems by improving the precision and dependability of signals. They are also valuable in the creation of high-resolution 3D maps for urban planning and infrastructure development.
