UAS and High Altitude Platforms (HAPS) for Wireless Communications

Catalog description

An introductory course to HAPS technology applied in the civilian UAS sector. Covers technologies, communications, and protection of those computer communications from hostile intent. HAPS technology provides wireless narrowband and broadband telecommunications and broadcasting services to users using either aircraft (unmanned (UAS/UAV) or manned) or lighter-than-airships (LTA). Research indicates UAS to be the best alternative. These platforms are reusable and positioned at stratospheric altitudes, from approximately 12.4 miles to 31 miles (20 to 50 km).
