8 Modern Weapons: Possibilities and Limitations
(2) The disturbances in the ionosphere introduced by the radiation of the complex
disappear rather quickly; experiments conducted at the Arecibo Observatory
showed that the return of the ionosphere to its original state occurs over the
same time during which it was heated.
(3) There are no significant scientific grounds for such possibilities of HAARP
application as destruction of all types of weapons, power supply networks and
pipelines, global weather manipulation, mass psychotropic effects, etc.
8.5.3 Comparison of the Systems of the HAARP Type
Created in the World (USA, Europe, USSR, Russia)
High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is an American science
and research for studies of polar lights; according to different data—geophysical or
ionospheric weapons. The history of its creation in literary reviews is associated with
the name of Nikola Tesla, the project was launched in the spring of 1997 in Gakon,
Alaska.
In August 2002, the State Duma of Russia first openly discussed the possible
consequences of launching this project for Russia as well as for the entire world,
since a number of authoritative experts claimed on the pages of open scientific and
technical press and in Internet media that another sphere of application of HAARP,
which is not mentioned officially, is the amplification of acoustic-gravity waves.
As is known, the HAARP antenna field is a phased antenna transmitter designed to
transmit radio signals at frequencies from 2.8 to 10 MHz. It consists of 180 separate
antennas (arranged as a 12 × 15 rectangle). Each structure consists of two pairs of
intersecting dipole antennas, one for the lower frequency range (2.8–8.3 MHz) and
one for the upper one (7–10 MHz).
Each antenna is equipped with a thermocouple, and the entire array is fenced for
protection from possible damaging by large animals. The antenna field contains 30
complex transmitters, each of which includes 6 pairs of smaller 10 kW transmitters,
the total power of which amounts to 3.6 GW. Electrical power to the entire complex
is provided by six 2500 KW generators. According to official claims of the creators,
the radio beam reaching the ionosphere has the power of no more than 3 µW per
square centimeter.
Another heating stand, EISCAT in Tromso (Norway) is also located in the subpolar
region; it is less powerful than HAARP and was created earlier.
Sura—the soviet analog of HAARP—was built in the late 1970s and commissioned in 1981. At first, the Sura facility was funded by the Ministry of Defense; after
that, funding was performed according to the federal target program “Integration”
(project No. 199/2001). The Research Radiophysical Institute (NIRFI) developed a
design for the creation of the Core Facility Center SURA used by institutes of the
Russian Academy of Sciences to conduct joint studies.
The following research directions were published in soviet media:
