Radar aerostats provide cost-effective platform for enhanced observation

Article Abstract:

Radar-equipped aerostats can be extremely effective surveillance tools in roles such as airborne early warning, homeland defense and paramilitary activities such as counter-narcotics smuggling, illegal immigration control and economic zone surveillance. The aerostats are cost effective that offer relatively modest operating costs, a reasonably benign operating environment for the radar payload, and the potential for remote operation.
