Stratospheric UAV Payloads Provide New Ways to Chase Al Qaeda

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) May 11, 2011 -- (Colorado Springs, CO – May 11, 2011) - Stratospheric UAVs and Stratospheric UAV payloads will play an increasingly important role in future surveillance, mitigation and attack operations associated with efforts to curb insurgencies and terrorist activities, such as those carried out and planned by Al Qaeda organization around the world. This is one of the conclusions of a new market and technologies research report titled: "Stratospheric UAV Payloads - Markets and Technologies Forecast - 2016-2021".

The new report, released by Market Intel Group LLC (MiG), examines, analyses and predicts the evolution of technologies, markets and outlays for the payloads that will serve aboard extremely enduring or persistent UAVs flying above the Jet Stream. While flying in the atmosphere, they will behave much like stationary satellites.
Today, persistence means maintaining a Predator orbit by replacing the on-station aircraft once or twice a day. That’s a hugely complex and expensive effort, requiring at least three functioning aircraft and all their support. They also risk giving away the operator’s intent, a strong motivation to risk people hiding nearby rather than flying unmanned aircraft constantly. Conventional UAVs are hard to detect when flying very high, but certainly not impossible. Their presence over weeks to months will certainly be noticed.

The next hunt for an elusive, very high value target like bin Laden may benefit from Stratospheric UAV Payloads flying on the new Stratospheric UAVs being prototyped now. Those payloads will revolutionize the hunt by flying at twice Conventional UAV altitudes to see areas at least four times as large, all while being much harder to detect and remaining on-station for months or longer.
If you are a counter terrorism professional, UAV and/or payload vendor, UAV and/or payload operator, business leader or business developer in the UAV, insurance, overhead imagery, entertainment, mobile telephone and communication industries, this report will educate you on major disruptive technologies and markets that will completely change your competitive environment.
