Rafale jets, pseudo satellites on Defence Ministry’s acquisition list this week - The Tribune
New Delhi aims to seal the deal during French President Emmanuel Macron’s Feb 17-19 visit.
Meanwhile, sources said that DAC is also looking at solar- powered High-Altitude Pseudo Satellite Vehicle (HAPS). The National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) has already tested one, while the DRDO and Bangalore-based NewSpace Research and Technologies (NRT) have their respective versions.
An HAPS is a high-end version of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can operate in the stratosphere for long duration for surveillance and reconnaissance. It can operate at an altitude of about 20 km, much higher than the flight path of commercial planes. It is considered much cheaper to deploy and operate than satellites. Besides, no launch vehicle or rocket is needed to launch it.
Only a few global players like the US, the UK, Germany, South Korea, New Zealand and Japan have invested in such technologies.
