An spy balloon is a type ofballoonthat is employed as an aerial platform for gatheringintelligenceandspotting artillery. The use of observation balloons began during theFrench Revolutionary Wars, reaching their zenith duringWorld War I, and they continue in limited use today. Synonyms include espionage balloon, reconnaissance balloon, spy balloon, and surveillance balloon.
Because of their importance as observation platforms, balloons were defended byanti-aircraft guns, groups ofmachine gunsfor low altitude defence and patrollingfighter aircraft. Attacking a balloon was risky, but some pilots relished the challenge.
The most successful were known asballoon busters, including such notables as Belgium'sWilly Coppens, Germany'sFriedrich Ritter von Röth, America'sFrank Luke, and the FrenchmenLéon Bourjade,Michel CoiffardandMaurice Boyau. Many expert balloon busters were careful not to go below 1,000 feet (300 m) to avoid exposure to anti-aircraft and machine guns.
Government organizations also use tethered helium balloons, called aerostats, as platforms for their radar systems. And at lower altitudeâthousands of feet in the air rather than tens of thousands.
TheGlobal spy balloon marketaccounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
U.S. Tracked Spy Balloon From Time It Left ChinaâDays Earlier Than Previously Known
The Pentagon and U.S. intelligence were aware of a suspected Chinese spy balloon from the time it was launched off Hainan island, south of Chinaâs mainland, according to theWashington Post, citing unnamed officials, meaning the federal government was aware of the balloon almost a week earlier than theyâve publicly acknowledged.
The U.S. initially thought the balloon was headed for Guam, but officials were reportedly surprised when it took an abrupt and unexpected jog to the north over the Pacific Ocean.Officials are now reviewing the possibility its course deviation was an accident, according to the Post, since the turn to the north seemed to coincide with a strong cold front that pushed through east Asia.
