High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) Architecture Technical Demonstration
Abstract
HALE provided a modular space, stratospheric, air-breathing, and surface based system designed to meet specific mission needs. This system serves as a special communications, full motion video, and tactical system provider out of range of most enemy detection and/or interdiction systems with a large operating envelope. Depending on warfighter requirements, the HALE platform can be modified to fly payloads ranging from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Electro-optical (EO)/Infra-red (IR) systems, tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), communications systems, and tracking systems. The capability was demonstrated at Valiant Shield 20.
