Integrated Dynamics Solaris High Altitude Pseudo Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAPS UAV):

The Integrated Dynamics is a well-known and credible company of PAKISTAN engaged in the designing and manufacturing of state of the art Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to cater the demands and requirements of both Military and Civil purposes.

The Integrated Dynamics Company has participated in the 2019 Dubai Air Show, which held from November 17 – 21, 2019. The company has revealed that it is developing its indigenous line of solar-powered High Altitude Pseudo Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAPS UAV) named as SOLARIS.

The Integrated Dynamics SOLARIS High Altitude Pseudo Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAPS UAV) can operate at an elevation up to 19,500 ft – 32,800 ft (6-10 Kilometers).

The Solaris is a state of the art High Altitude Pseudo Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAPS UAV) can operate at a massive distance up to 200 Kilometers at line-of-sight. Furthermore, the range of the Integrated Dynamics SOLARIS High Altitude Pseudo Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAPS UAV) can further be extended up to 1,000 Kilometers in total, if required.

The Integrated Dynamics SOLARIS High Altitude Pseudo Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAPS UAV) has a total endurance time up to 24 hours and it has a total weight up to 13 Kilograms only.

Integrated Dynamics is marketed the SOLARIS High Altitude Pseudo Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAPS UAV) with the estimated cost under $100,000.

The company is planning to further extend the endurance of the SOLARIS High altitude Pseudo Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAPS UAV) up to 4 days in the upgraded and advanced version of the Solaris HAPS UAV.

The Integrated Dynamics also revealed that it has also undertaken the development project of a larger version of High Altitude Pseudo Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAPS UAV) named as STRATOS.

The Integrated Dynamics STRATOS High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (HAPS UAV) has an operating elevation up to 72,000 Ft (22 Kilometers) and it can stay in the air up to one month. As far as the payload options of the STRATOS HAPS UAV is concerned; it can carry a maximum payload up to 12 Kilograms in total.

The indigenous development of the SOLARIS and STRATOS High Altitude Pseudo Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle will not only help to carry out certain civilian tasks, but it will also help to boost the Defense of PAKISTAN with certain Military Applications as well.

It is worth mentioning that the basic aim of the High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is to offer a cost-effective alternative to costly satellites, such as high altitude surveillance asset or communication repeater.
