A tactical aerostat is a lighter-than-air surveillance platform that remains tethered to the ground while operating at height. Filled with helium, it can stay airborne for long periods and carry cameras, sensors and communication payloads. IIT Delhi’s demonstrated system used a tactical aerostat balloon of about 24 cubic metres and deployed it up to a height of 30 metres, carrying a payload of up to 10 kilograms for applications such as surveillance, security and remote communications.
