India’s Air Force is set to boost its surveillance capabilities with the acquisition of High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS). These advanced drones will operate at 20 km, offering persistent intelligence gathering over vast areas for weeks. Indigenous development is progressing, with DRDO and NAL showcasing successful trials. These solar-powered aircraft promise a significant leap in reconnaissance, bridging the gap between satellites and conventional planes.
