AAROHAN

A Persistent Eye inthe Sky

Solar-powered stratospheric platform delivering persistent surveillance, resilent 5G/6G communications and real-time drones-warm command and control.

The HAPS Advantage

Traditional surveillance faces critical gaps: satellites have long revisit times, UAVs have limited endurance, and ground infrastructure is vulnerable. HAPS operates at 18–22 km altitude in the lower stratosphere — above weather, above commercial aviation — providing weeks-to-months of continuous coverage over areas spanning hundreds of kilometers.

What Aarohan Delivers​

Seven integrated capabilities for persistent intelligence and communications dominance.​

Persistent Wide-Area Surveillance​

Continuous day-night monitoring using electro-optical, IR, and RF payloads, overcoming satellite revisit and UAV endurance limitations.​

Airborne Communication Backbone​

High-altitude relay for resilient, low-latency 5G/6G connectivity, network slicing, and BLOS operations in denied or disaster-hit regions.​

Drone Swarm Command-and-Control​

Centralized aerial node for coordinating large UAV fleets, enabling real-time mission planning, telemetry aggregation, and airspace deconfliction.​

Edge AI & Onboard Analytics​

Real-time processing of sensor data for threat detection, anomaly identification, and automated alerts without reliance on ground backhaul.​

Disaster Response & Early Warning​

Rapid deployment for landslides, floods, earthquakes, and cyclones — providing situational awareness when terrestrial infrastructure is compromised.

Border & Maritime Domain Awareness​

Persistent intelligence for border regions, island territories, and maritime zones with long dwell times and reduced operational cost.

Scalable Multi-Phase Architecture​

Seamless evolution from tethered aerostat systems to stratospheric HAPS-class platforms without redesigning ground infrastructure.​

Phased Path to Stratospheric Operations

Aarohan follows a systematic three-phase development and deployment strategy.

Phase 1: Tethered Aerostat

Tethered aerostat at 800–1000 m altitude for surveillance, communications relay, and UAV coordination. Validates core sensor packages, edge AI processing, and ground station integration.

Current Phase — TRL 3-4 Validation

Phase 2: Extended Endurance

Extended endurance high-altitude platforms with enhanced payload capacity. Solar power systems, autonomous station-keeping, and extended-duration flight testing.

Next Phase​

Phase 3: Stratospheric Operations

Free-floating stratospheric operations at 18–22 km for continental-scale coverage. Full HAPS capability with solar-electric propulsion and multi-month endurance.

Target Phase​

Where Aarohan Operates

Defense & Border Security

Persistent surveillance of international borders, LAC/LOC monitoring, and forward area intelligence without vulnerability to ground-based threats.

Maritime Domain Awareness

Continuous monitoring of EEZ, island territories, and shipping lanes for security, fisheries enforcement, and search & rescue.

Disaster Management

Rapid-deployment communications and surveillance after earthquakes, floods, cyclones, and landslides when ground infrastructure fails.

Rural Connectivity

Airborne 5G/6G backbone for remote and underserved areas, bridging the digital divide without costly ground infrastructure.

Infrastructure Monitoring

Wide-area surveillance of pipelines, power grids, railways, and highway corridors for anomaly detection and maintenance planning.

Environmental Monitoring

Forest fire detection, glacial lake monitoring, coastal erosion tracking, and pollution source identification at regional scale.
