The Army requires a method of deploying a GPS Pseudolite to several hundred or thousand feet altitude to provide augmented GPS signals. To meet this need Carolina Unmanned Vehicles, Inc. is developing the Helikite Elevated Platform (HEP), consisting of a small tethered blimp mounted in a special Carrier that allows operation by a single person. It can be towed by a HMMWV or other small vehicle. HEP may also be used for Differential GPS support to enhance areas such as helicopter all weather navigation. Other payloads can include video cameras, COMINT /SIGINT receivers, jammers or communication equipment. The project will provide an improved capability for the military and civilian agencies for continuous low cost elevation of a variety of payloads to several thousand feet, with minimum manpower, training and investment.
