“A white aerostat blimp looms omnisciently above, launched below from Ft. Huachuca, the country's largest military intelligence complex.”

“Actually, the JLENS blimp is an aerostat, a blimp like vehicle designed to always turn into the wind and stay in the same place.”

“Ground IR and radar sensors are used to cue the aerostat imaging sensor to identify targets.”

“Likewise, aerostats require less energy than aerodynes to do the same work in space.”

“The towers and aerostats carry an electro-optical and infrared sensor that detects enemy forces and objects at day or night.”

“They might be balloons, airships, planes, or tethered aerostats.”
