In Episode 11 of The Watt Hour, we sit down with Russ Van Der Werff to explore the groundbreaking technology of High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS). We discuss how these aircraft deliver global connectivity, surveillance, and defense capabilities from the stratosphere, the integration of advanced battery cells and packs into their airframes, and the power needed for long-endurance missions. Discover the future of communications, disaster response, and clean energy integration as HAPS technology reshapes both commercial and military landscapes.
