High Altitude Aeronautical Platforms (HAAPS) are airships, planes, or hybrid craft that operate at stratospheric altitudes to provide wireless communications services. They offer several advantages over terrestrial and satellite systems:
1) HAAPS can use existing mobile devices and benefit from more favorable propagation characteristics than satellites, with path losses similar to small terrestrial cells.
2) A single HAAPS platform can initially provide blanket coverage without the staged rollout needed for ground networks. Capacity is increased by adding platforms, not reengineering the system.
3) Onboard equipment requirements are within the limits of airborne power supplies and amplifiers. Ricean fading improves signal quality over terrestrial Rayleigh fading.

This document provides an introduction to satellite communication. It defines what a satellite is, noting that the first Indian communication satellite was Aryabhatta, launched in 1975. Satellites are classified as either active or passive. Active satellites contain transponders that amplify and translate signals to avoid interference. Passive satellites can be natural, like the Moon, or artificial. The document also summarizes Kepler's laws of planetary motion, including his first law that planets orbit in ellipses with the Sun at one focus, his second law about equal areas being swept in equal times, and his third law relating orbital periods to semi-major axes.
Stealth technology reduces an aircraft's detection by radar through surface designs and radar absorbing materials. Surface designs aim to deflect radar signals away from the source, while RAM absorbs radar waves. Modern stealth aircraft like the F-35 and B-2 Spirit use curved shapes, buried engines, and radar absorbing coatings and structures to achieve a minimal radar cross-section. Stealth technology is an ongoing effort, as advances in radar threaten invisibility, but it has allowed for improved military surveillance and strike capabilities.
A launch vehicle is a system used to launch satellites into stable orbits. It works on Newton's third law of motion, where the exhaust gases ejected from the rocket engine provide an equal and opposite reaction force that propels the launch vehicle upward. Launch vehicles are classified based on their payload capacity and number of stages. India's space agency ISRO has used several launch vehicles over the years of increasing capability, starting with the SLV, then the ASLV, and now predominantly uses the PSLV and GSLV.
GPS aircraft tracking allows planes equipped with GPS receivers to be monitored in real-time. GPS was developed in 1973 by the U.S. Department of Defense to improve navigation and originally used 24 satellites. The GPS system has three components - the space segment with over 30 satellites in orbit transmitting navigation signals, the control segment which monitors the system, and the user segment comprising thousands of military and civilian users. Aircraft equipped with ADS-B transmit position, speed, direction and altitude to satellites every 15 minutes, which relay the information to ground stations for processing and display of the plane's location.
Stratellites are proposed as an alternative to satellites for wireless communication. A stratellite would be a solar-powered airship stationed in the stratosphere at an altitude of around 13 miles, allowing it to provide satellite-like communication services to a large area without the latency issues of satellites in geostationary orbit. Stratellites could provide two-way broadband access across hundreds of thousands of square miles with lower costs than launching and maintaining thousands of cell towers. However, stratellites have not been fully commercialized and would need to overcome challenges of air traffic control and weather stability in the stratosphere.
The document discusses the black box, which consists of the flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR). The FDR records parameters like time, pressure, speed, and the positions of controls. The CVR records audio from the cockpit for investigating accidents. Black boxes originally used magnetic tapes but now use more advanced solid state technology allowing for longer recording durations. Their recorders are powered by the plane's engines and contain underwater locator beacons to help with recovery after crashes. Black boxes provide vital information for investigating aviation accidents and improving safety.

Vehicle Tracking and Remote Data Acquisition System using Very High Frequency...IJERD Editor
This document discusses a vehicle tracking and data acquisition system that uses amateur ("ham") radio operating on Very High Frequency (VHF) bands. The system tracks vehicle location using GPS and transmits the data via VHF radio to a workstation since GSM networks have poor or no coverage in remote areas. The workstation receives the VHF signals, stores the location data, and displays the vehicle's position on a map. Using amateur radio on VHF bands allows the system to provide tracking and communication capabilities where conventional GSM-based systems cannot function.

Identify and explain key technologies for evolutionary change in spaceborne communications.
Solution
The Air Force should invest in those satellite communications technologies unavailable in the
commercial sector that are critical for military-specific, core communications services; other
technologies and services can be adapted from commercial practice. From the foregoing
discussion these critical technologies are:
• Antenna systems that efficiently direct downlink power to users (even at unplanned locations)
and reject jamming on the uplinks by use of multi-beam, real-time adaptive antenna patterns
• Very high-rate (many gigabits per second) communications for sensor data relay and
dissemination among spacecraft, airplanes, and ground sites; optical communications is the
method of choice
• Onboard processing for jamming protection that despreads and demodulates uplink signals and
routes them to appropriate downlinks, providing interconnection of disparate users (including
packet communications)
The present state of practice for advanced antenna arrays is to use global spot multibeam routing
and switching. However, recent advances on antenna arrays have provided limited adaptive beam
forming. Based on the present development, a 3 Gbps data throughput rate should be achievable
on satellites before the end of the century. It will be necessary to continue shifting the RF
communication band to a higher frequency with wider bandwidth to obtain increased data rates.
Therefore, it is essential to continue to develop the electronics required to send telemetry at a
higher operating frequency.
The use of real-time adaptive beam patterns on up-link and down-link on communications
satellites has been very limited. Today, commercial satellites have multiple beams, but they are
usually fixed in anticipation of a particular orbital location and an intended customer base. For
military communications, neither of these is likely since the theater of operations is
scenariodependent. The ability to create multiple narrow-beam downlinks allows the satellite
transmitter power to be directed only to the intended users, as well as permitting frequency re-
use (important in the crowded spectrum allocations). Both factors result in increased capacity
through the satellite. The ability to create multiple narrow-beam uplinks provides high receiving
gain that in turn allows either smaller earth terminals to close the link or higher data rates to be
transmitted. Substantial reductions in ground terminal costs will result. More importantly,
narrow-beam uplinks can be used to reject interfering sources (jammers) out-of-beam, and,
through combining of multiple beams, to reject jamming sources within a beamwidth. The ability
to do such realtime adaptive antenna beam formation to create very deep, narrow nulls anywhere
within the field of view of the satellite over the very wide bandwidths necessary for AJ
modulation is not something that the commercial sector will develop (c.
Airborne internet by V.DINESH KUMAR KSRCTdinesh2vasu
This document discusses Airborne Internet, a new type of internet service that provides broadband access via aircraft instead of cables or satellites. It would function similarly to satellite internet but without delays. Several companies are working on projects using high-altitude planes, blimps, and solar-powered planes to deliver high-speed wireless internet from the sky. This Airborne Internet has the potential to overcome limitations of land-based internet and provide broadband access to more remote areas.
The document describes The Halo Network, a proposed broadband wireless metropolitan area network. The key aspects are:
- It uses a high-altitude aircraft called HAAPS operating at 16km to serve as an airborne hub/central node for a star topology network.
- The HAAPS aircraft houses an antenna array to create hundreds of virtual cells on the ground to provide service to thousands of users within a 100km radius area.
- It claims advantages over terrestrial and satellite networks like rapid deployment, high signal quality, availability and bandwidth, and lower costs.

An improved modulation technique suitable for a three level flying capacitor ...IJECEIAES
This research paper introduces an innovative modulation technique for controlling a 3-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter (FCMLI), aiming to streamline the modulation process in contrast to conventional methods. The proposed
simplified modulation technique paves the way for more straightforward and
efficient control of multilevel inverters, enabling their widespread adoption and
integration into modern power electronic systems. Through the amalgamation of
sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) with a high-frequency square wave
pulse, this controlling technique attains energy equilibrium across the coupling
capacitor. The modulation scheme incorporates a simplified switching pattern
and a decreased count of voltage references, thereby simplifying the control
algorithm.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

3. What is HAAPS ?
High Altitude Aeronautical Platform Stations (HAAPS) is the name of a
technology for providing wireless narrowband and broadband
telecommunication services as well as broadcasting services .
The HAAPS are operating at altitudes between 17 to 22 kms range in
stratospheric layer of the atmosphere.
HAAPS are able to cover over 100 kms diameter ,depending on the minimum
elevation angle accepted from user’s location.
The platforms may be aircrafts or airships(essentially balloons) and may be
manned or un-manned with autonomous operation coupled with remote control
from the ground.
4. Why HAAPS ?
It combines most of the advantages of both satellite
and terrestrial systems while avoiding many of the
pitfalls.
Traffic can be linked and switched among multiple
HAAPS, Satellites and Terrestrial gateways.
5. Main Objective
Provision of the bandwidth that can support services like
multimedia applications (telephony,TV,High speeed internet
etc.,..)
Ability to operate in a high frequency band on the radio
spectrum.
Provision of increased capacity for terrestrial
telecommunication networks ,either by supporting more
users/cells without degrading performance or by providing
greater bandwidth.
9. Power Requirements
Solar powered aircraft must be capable of continuous flight.
Energy must be collected and stored at day to both power
the aircraft and enable to fly throughout the night.
The air craft power system consists of photovoltaic cells
and a regenerative fuel cell.
The main advantage of this method is that it eliminates the
need to carry fuel and to extract and compress air at
altitude.
10. Transmission and Coding Techniques
WRC-97 had announced frequency bands for HAAPS in
around 47 GHz(downlink : 47.2 -47.5 GHz and uplink :
47.9-48.2 GHz).
A very good approach is the use of adaptive coding and
modulation based on channel condition schemes.
Three modulation schemes were examined for low, medium
and high data rate applications as GMSK,16-QAM and
rounded 64-QAM respectively.
11. Various HAAPS Projects
HAAPS have been proposed using both airship and aircraft technology.
1.Airship Technology
i. Sky station
ii. Sratsat
iii. Stratospheric Platform system from Japan
2.Aircraft Technology
i. Halo-proteus
ii. Sky tower
iii. Heliplat
12. Sky station
Sky station is the name of an airship system
planned by the US company “Sky Station
International”.
Data rates for fixed services are 2 Mbps for
uplink and 10 Mbps for downlink.
Data rates for mobile services are 9.6 -16
Kbps for voice and 384 Kbps for data.
Cost of the project for a worldwide
infrastructure is estimated as $2.5 billion.
13. StratSat
Startsat is an airship system planned by the UK
based company “Advanced Technology Group”
for both civilian and military applications.
It is steered by by means of contra-Rotating
Coned Rotor mounted on a tailcone at the rear
of the envelope as part of a compound
propulsion system.
This unit provides longitudinal thrust (to
counter stratospheric winds) and the lateral
force(for manoeuvring) to enable the airship to
hold station within a 1km cube.
14. Stratospheric Platform System from
Japan
It is planned by the Wireless Innovation Systems Group of the
Yokosuka Radio Communications Research Center in Japan .
17. Advantages
HAAPS don’t require any launch vehicle.
Once a platform is in position ,it can immediately begin delivering
service to its area without any global infrastructure.
Provides a higher frequency reuse and thus higher capacity than
satellite systems.
Each platform can be retrieved , updated and relaunched without
service interruption.
They are powered by solar technology and non-polluting fuel cells.
19. Conclusion
HAPS will be deployed together with terrestrial and satellites
elements to provide another degree of flexibility for system
deployment that can be easily adjusted to the needs of the network
operators and users’ traffic demands
HAPS will play a complementary role in future mobile system
infrastructure e.g. consisting of W-LAN, cellular, and satellite
mobile systems to ease the deployment and roll out of the 3G and
beyond 3G services
