High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) platforms for tactical wireless communications and sensor use in military operations

摘要

ce-based systems along with their shortfalls, and defines support capabilities from the stratospheric environment. It then provides an in-depth review of emerging high altitude long endurance (HALE) platforms, analyzes HALE platforms survivability, provides a concept of operations (CONOPS) for HALE employment, and performs a HALE platform comparative analysis.
