Abstract

The paper provides a brief overview of the state-of-the-art of development of tethered high-altitude unmanned telecommunication platforms. It is described an architecture, scientific and technical issues and the designing principles of such platforms which can be used to expand the capabilities of ground-based electronic warfare. The experience of Institute of Control Sciences (ICS RAS) on the development and implementing the tethered platform is also presented.
