India Develops Stratospheric HAPS Platforms to Boost Surveillance and Communications
India is developing High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellites (HAPS), unmanned platforms that operate in the stratosphere between conventional drones and satellites. These systems are designed to offer greater persistence and operational flexibility compared to traditional satellites. A key application will be continuous intelligence gathering along India's extensive land and maritime borders. HAPS will also function as communication relay nodes to support battlefield operations. The initiative is aimed at strengthening national security and modernizing the country's military capabilities.
