SBIR/STTR Award attributes
The Stratollite is a flight proven high-altitude, long duration platform and is ready to be deployed in an operational environment with a relevant payload. The system can be deployed currently utilizing World View’s trained flight operators to perform the trajectory commanding either with the EO/IR payload under development by World View or with customer operated payloads with separated C2 and data streams allowing sensitive data to be managed outside of the flight platform data management. World View is currently developing a high resolution EO sensor with complementary MWIR, paired with a wide FOV EO sensor for situational awareness. This, combined with a communications backhaul designed to work with existing commercial and military satellite communication networks as well as a line-of-sight (LOS) downlink capability, allows for near real time imagery and high-resolution video acquisition.
