Problem
Current aerial infrastructure for telecommunications, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) often involves high operational costs and limited endurance, especially in remote or contested environments. Existing solutions may lack the necessary persistence and adaptability for long-duration missions requiring continuous monitoring and communication capabilities.
Solution
Skycom develops unmanned High-Altitude, Lighter-Than-Air Platforms (HALTAPs) designed to operate above 60,000 feet, providing a persistent and cost-effective aerial infrastructure solution. These HALTAPs offer modular payload capabilities, enabling them to perform a variety of functions, including intelligence gathering, surveillance, reconnaissance, communications, remote sensing, and scientific research. The patented technology allows for affordable, long-endurance, geostationary platforms in the stratosphere. By providing a robust and field-deployable platform, Skycom aims to modernize defense capabilities and enhance protection against emerging threats.
Target Audience
The primary customers are the U.S. Air Force, other federal entities, and organizations requiring persistent aerial infrastructure for telecommunications, ISR, and related applications.
