Draft:Atlas LTA Advanced Technology

{Atlas LTA Advanced Technology Ltd. Atlas LTA Advanced Technology Ltd. is an Israeli aerospace company specializing in the development and production of lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicles, including airships, aerostats, and high-altitude pseudo-satellites (HAPS). The company focuses on advanced aerodynamics, cutting-edge materials, and energy-efficient propulsion systems to develop modern aerial solutions for surveillance, telecommunications, cargo transportation, and scientific research. Atlas LTA is led by Gennadiy Verba, an Israeli and U.S. citizen recognized as a pioneer in LTA technologies. The company’s core division, its design bureau, comprises experienced professionals with over 40 years in the industry, alongside younger engineers specializing in modern airship design, structural engineering, and flight automation. The company operates state-of-the-art production facilities, equipped with a computerized fabric cutting system, high-frequency fabric welding machines, and a full suite of testing equipment to assess material strength, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. Key Areas of Expertise • Airships & Aerostats: Development of modern airships and tethered aerostats for applications in surveillance, communication, and tourism. • ATLANT: A next-generation hybrid cargo airship, designed for logistics and transportation, capable of reaching remote areas without requiring runways. • HAPS (High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellites): Stratospheric platforms designed for long-duration telecommunications, environmental monitoring, and aerial surveillance. • Advanced Materials: Development of lightweight, durable materials and high-performance envelope technologies for improved aerostatic efficiency. • Propulsion & Control Systems: Engineering of hybrid-electric propulsion systems and autonomous flight control technologies for LTA vehicles. Mileatones • Designed, built, and deployed over 200 tethered aerostat systems ranging from 100 to 13,000 cubic meters in volume. • Developed and launched 12 airships, including single-seat, two-seat, and ten-seat models for various applications. • Contributed to Google’s Loon Project, providing expertise in stratospheric airship development for high-altitude internet connectivity. • Conducted successful prototype launches and developed proprietary radiation-resistant and extreme-temperature-resistant airship fabrics. • Implemented LTA solutions for multiple industries, including defense, telecommunications, and environmental research.

Main projects Atlas LTA continues to explore autonomous airship technologies, sustainable propulsion systems, and AI-driven flight control to expand the capabilities of lighter-than-air vehicles. The company is actively involved in research initiatives to develop next-generation cargo airships and long-endurance atmospheric platforms for global communication and logistics.
