Aratos HAPS

Aratos HAPS is rated 3 out of 5 in the category aviation & aerospace. Read and write reviews about Aratos HAPS. Aratos HAPS’ focus is on developing a multipurpose ecosystem rather than a single purpose platform for, say, broadband internet. The Aratos HAPS concept comprises four components: a reusable high-altitude platform, swappable payloads (monitors, cameras, or scanners), custom software and a terrestrial base station from which to operate the drone and collect data. It is a reconfigurable dual-purpose solution. Civilian applications include pipeline monitoring in remote regions, crop monitoring, farmland diagnostics, measuring the capability of forests to absorb CO2, monitoring fishing stocks and water quality, and powerline monitoring. Defence applications could be homeland security, border security, et cetera. So, we can improve the way we farm, for example, or monitor shipping lanes better, all by collecting data, in real-time, that we cannot collect now.”
