Abstract
This project explores the deployment of a High-Altitude PlatformSystems (HAPS) to deliver seamless, high-speed telecommunications coverage across the European Union (EU). Operating in the stratosphere, HAPS offers a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional satellite or terrestrial infrastructure, particularly for underserved or hard-to-reach regions. This project aims to provide 100% European connectivity by deploying a scalable fleet of aerial vehicles. The system is designed to ensure regulatory compliance, offer dynamic responses to different situations and provide a sustainable alternative to traditional infrastructure...
