Editing History and Applications of HAARP Technologies (section)

== POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS ==

The HAARP project is different than other "atmospheric heaters" in that the Eastland device in Patent 4,686,605 would allow a concentration of one Watt per cc in the atmosphere, compared to other heaters that are only able to deliver about one-millionth of a Watt per cc. This is a huge difference to other devices, and patents, which was "sufficient to cause movement of a plasma region along said diverging magnetic field lines to an altitude higher than the altitude at which said excitation was initiated", as quoted from a Jan. 1987 amendment to the original patent application in order to receive the subsequent patent.

A review of the other patent titles shows that one application of this technology may be Power Beaming; Patents 5,068,669, 5,218,374, & 5,202,689: Transmitting the power represented by the Alaskan ARCO natural gas fields into the atmosphere to be received by appropriate receiver stations in other locations! Clearly, such applications would be initially classified.

Patent 5,041,834 creates an Artificial Ionospheric Mirror that could be used for over-the-horizon radar and other such communications for the military over great distances. It could also be used to locate with high accuracy and possible resolution incoming objects.

The other patents deal primary with components of the well-known "Star Wars "systems, and could provide other applications in particle beam technology, space-based defense, and plasma laser-like weapons.

It appears that ALL of these potential applications could be classified by the military in support of the National Defense.
