- India successfully carried out maiden flight-trials of a stratospheric airship platform.
- This system will uniquely enhance India's earth observation and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.
- It is a high-altitude, unmanned airship designed to operate in the stratosphere, typically between 17 to 22 kilometers above Earth.
- Unlike satellites or aircraft, it can stay over a specific area for days or weeks, providing persistent surveillance and communication support.
