the vulnerabilities of our global infrastructure. An electric aircraft
capable of recharging itself in flight enables nonstop
communications to provide true beyond-line-of-sight communications
in difficult radio-frequency environments.
Airborne-provisioned communications - especially those
with the ability to persistently remain in the air and operate a
bridged interoperable backbone - enhances information-sharing.
In high-chaos environments such as armed conflict or in
the immediate aftermath of a natural or man-made disaster,
these strategies and tactics can ensure seamless communications
at crucial moments. To wit: one of Russia's first actions against
Ukraine was to disable its communications infrastructure, rendering
much of Ukraine without access to communications. A
rapidly deployable and cost-efficient group of non-stop aerial
unmanned systems could have provided a persistent airborne
communication infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted sharing
of data within multi-level classification/security environments.
Additionally, access to wireless capabilities such as 4G/LTE
and 5G is extremely critical during times of emergencies. This
allows authorities to coordinate emergency services when
needed and allows the general public to continue to communicate
with each other. Bridging telecommunication/cellular
infrastructure to provide alternate cellular networks or expand
Tier-1 telecommunication networks (ie. Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile,
Sprint, other) assures communications are never lost. The
industry also needs to continue evolving precision electronic
beamforming/beam steering technology that many modern
radio systems lack.
One solution being proposed by Kraus Hamdani Aerospace
is the K1000ULE, a large, long-endurance aircraft that harness
the power of nature to fuel itself while providing critical infrastructure
on a widespread basis. These aircraft do not rely on
depletable energy sources, don't need to be positioned in
space, and require no ground terminals to safeguard communications
globally. Further, they are capable of providing a
resilient inter-vendor, mesh-based communications infrastructure
that provides over-the-horizon networks that are
self-aware and can cover large areas beyond line-of-sight.
These on-the-move capabilities offer secure IP based information
exchange and bridge radio networks that were not previously
interoperable.
