NewSpace to Design & Develop High Altitude Pseudo Satellites for Indian Navy

Defense News ,India :-  The Indian Navy is getting even better at keeping an eye on the seas. They've joined up with a company called NSRT from Bengaluru to make new High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellites (HAPS) right here in India.

This deal is a big deal. It's part of the iDEX plan which is all about making India self-reliant in technology. That means we won't need to rely on other countries for fancy gadgets. Plus, it helps Indian companies be more innovative.

NSRT is great at making smaller versions of these HAPS already. They run on electricity and can stay up in the sky for a whole week. But now, they're going to make bigger ones that run on solar power. These new ones will be huge, able to carry lots of stuff, and stay in the air for up to three months!

So, what does this mean for the Navy?

1. Keeping Watch All the Time: With these HAPS, the Navy can watch over the oceans non-stop. That's great for keeping an eye on things for a long time.

2. Carrying Different Tools: These HAPS can carry lots of different gadgets like cameras and radar. This helps the Navy gather all sorts of useful information about what's happening on the water.

3. Better Communication: The HAPS can also help the Navy talk to ships and other things in the sea. They act like super antennas, making sure messages get through loud and clear.

By using this high-tech stuff, the Indian Navy is making sure it's ready for whatever comes its way. It's like future-proofing the Navy, making sure it stays strong and secure. And it's all being done right here in India, which is pretty cool!
