HeliNet system analysis
Abstract
HeliNet is a research project studying a network based on High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) unmanned airplanes, intended for providing services in the field of traffic monitoring, environmental surveillance and broadband communications. The project is funded by the European Union for the period 2000-2002 as a multidisciplinary feasibility study within the Fifth Framework Programme R&D (IST-1999-11214). Objective of the research project is to investigate the feasibility of such network and to identify its viability, possible configuration and risk areas. The present paper shows the highlights of system analysis of network innovative elements and an extract of concepts and problems being investigated to integrate the fleet management of this kind of airplanes with network configuration.
