Executive Summary

In 2025, US aerospace forces can “own the weather” by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war-fighting applications. Such a capability offers the war fighter tools to shape the battlespace in ways never before possible. It provides opportunities to impact operations across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible futures. The purpose of this paper is to outline a strategy for the use of a future weather-modification system to achieve military objectives rather than to provide a detailed technical road map.

A high-risk, high-reward endeavor, weather-modification offers a dilemma not unlike the splitting of the atom. While some segments of society will always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as weather-modification, the tremendous military capabilities that could result from this field are ignored at our own peril. From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control, weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary. Some of the potential capabilities a weather-modification system could provide to a war-fighting commander in chief (CINC) are listed in table 1.

Technology advancements in five major areas are necessary for an integrated weather-modification capability: (1) advanced nonlinear modeling techniques, (2) computational capability, (3) information gathering and transmission, (4) a global sensor array, and (5) weather intervention techniques. Some intervention tools exist today and others may be developed and refined in the future.

WOW REALLY B/S ALERT

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) ” a subject of fascination for many hams and the target of conspiracy theorists and anti-government activists – has closed down. HAARPs program manager, Dr James Keeney at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, told ARRL that the sprawling 35-acre ionospheric research facility in remote Gakona, Alaska, has been shuttered since early May.Currently the site is abandoned, he said. œIt comes down to money. We dont have any.Keeney said no one is on site, access roads are blocked, buildings are chained and the power turned off. HAARPs website through the University of Alaska no longer is available; Keeney said the program cant afford to pay for the service.Everything is in secure mode,” he said, adding that it will stay that way at least for another 4 to 6 weeks. In the meantime a new prime contractor will be coming on board to run the government owned-contractor operated (GOCO) facility.HAARP put the world on notice two years ago that it would be shutting down and did not submit a budget request for FY 15, Keeney said, but no one paid any attention.Now, he says, theyre complaining. People came unglued, Keeney said, noting that hes already had inquiries from Congress. Universities that depended upon HAARP research grants also are upset, he said.The only bright spot on HAARPs horizon right now is that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is expected on site as a client to finish up some research this fall and winter. DARPA has nearly $8.8 million in its FY 14 budget plan to research physical aspects of natural phenomena such as magnetospheric sub-storms, fire, lightning and geo-physical phenomena.The proximate cause of HAARPs early May shutdown was less fiscal than environmental, Keeney said. As he explained it, the diesel generators on site no longer pass Clean Air Act muster. Repairing them to meet EPA standards will run $800,000. Beyond that, he said, it costs $300,000 a month just to keep the facility open and $500,000 to run it at full capacity for 10 days.Jointly funded by the US Air Force Research Laboratory and the US Naval Research Laboratory, HAARP is an ionospheric research facility. Its best-known apparatus is its 3.6 MW HF (approximately 3 to 10 MHz) ionospheric research instrument (IRI), feeding an extensive system of 180 gain antennas and used to excite sections of the ionosphere. Other onsite equipment is used to evaluate the effects.Larry Ledlow, N1TX, of Fairbanks, Alaska, said HAARP ionosonde and riometer data have been invaluable, especially being more or less local, to understand current conditions in the high latitudes. He said data from other sites “simply do not accurately reflect the unique propagation we endure here.To fill the gap, Ledlow said, several members of the Arctic Amateur Radio Club  including Eric Nichols, KL7AJ, author of Radio Science for the Radio Amateur and articles in QST ” have discussed building their own instruments. œIts all very preliminary, he said, “but we really feel the pinch losing HAARP.Nichols, of North Pole, Alaska, has conducted experiments at HAARP. He called the shutdown œa great loss to interior Alaska hams and many others.”The ultra-high power facility long has intrigued hams, even outside of Alaska. In 1997, HAARP transmitted test signals on HF (3.4 MHz and 6.99 MHz) and solicited reports from hams and short-wave listeners in the Lower 48 to determine how well the HAARP transmissions could be heard to the south. In 2007 HAARP succeeded in bouncing a 40 meter signal off the moon. Earlier this year, HAARP scientists successfully produced a sustained high-density plasma cloud in Earths upper atmosphere.As things stand, the Air Force has possession for now, but if no other agency steps forward to take overHAARP, the unique facility will be dismantled, Keeney said. He pointed out that it would cost less tobulldoze the antenna field than it would to replace the 180 antennas.Splashy web postings abound, blaming HAARP for controlling the weather most recently in the case of Hurricane Sandy and the spate of tornados – and for causing other natural disasters. Quipped Keeney, “If I actually could affect the weather, Id keep it open.
