The Southcom surveillance tests are probably just the tip of the iceberg. Scott Wickersham, the vice-president of Raven Aerostar, told the Guardian that it has also been working with Sierra Nevada and the Pentagon’s research arm Darpa on a “highly sophisticated and challenging development around the stratosphere”. This refers to the agency’s Adaptable Lighter-Than-Air (Alta) program, an ongoing effort to perfect stratospheric balloon navigation which has included multiple launches across the country, Wickersham said.
Neither Sierra Nevada nor US Southcom responded to requests for comment on this story.

Also , fyi, sorry but I can no longer find the article, but I read today that usdotmil did testing of maneuverability ( different altitudes different winds + propulsion ? ) by launching on east coast and landing in CA. Mission was accomplished.
