Abstract
High-altitude platforms are rapidly developing technology, but their role in the future of warfare has not yet been sufficiently explored. This paper attempts to address this gap by linking tech-nology, doctrine, and future studies. The study offers a comprehensive overview of the distinctive char-acteristics of high-altitude airspace, the technological advancements in military high-altitude platforms, and their potential applications in future conflicts. It also identifies weaknesses in existing aerospace defense capabilities and emphasizes the need for a robust international regulatory framework. By fram-ing high-altitude platforms as a disruptive technology and high-altitude airspace as a contested domain, the study contributes to the discourse on air and space power. Methodologically, the paper is based on a semi-systematic literature review, combined with future study techniques and supported by semi-struc-tured interviews.

Title:¿Armar los confines del espacio? : avances y perspectivas de las plataformas militares de gran altitud
Abstract:
Las plataformas de gran altitud son una tecnología en rápido desarrollo, pero su papel en el futuro de la guerra aún no se ha explorado lo suficiente. Este artículo intenta abordar esta brecha vinculando tecnología, doctrina y estudios de futuro. El estudio ofrece una visión general de las características distintivas del espacio aéreo de gran altitud, los avances tecnológicos en plataformas militares y sus posibles aplicaciones en conflictos futuros. También identifica las debilidades en las capacidades de defensa aeroespacial existentes y enfatiza la necesidad de un marco regulatorio internacional sólido. Al enmarcar las plataformas de gran altitud como una tecnología disruptiva y el espacio aéreo de gran altitud como un dominio en disputa, el estudio contribuye al discurso sobre el poder aéreo y espacial. Metodológicamente, el artículo se basa en una revisión bibliográfica semi-sistemática, combinada con técnicas de estudio de futuro y con el apoyo de entrevistas semiestructuradas.
