8 Modern Weapons: Possibilities and Limitations
The so-called chemoacoustic waves appear when the sound in a gas environment
reaches its maximum (non-linear) amplification, and the non-balanced character of
the environment is ensured directly by chemical reactions. The energy stored in
natural chemoacoustic waves is huge; at the same time, it can easily be released with
the help of chemical catalysts sprayed at a certain height. Another method consists in
exciting internal gravitational waves in the ionosphere by ground heating stands. It
is logical, of course, to be armed with both ways of influencing ionospheric instabilities—both radio-heating stands and modules with chemical reagents launched with
the help of rockets and stratostats.
Thus, the induced waves are transmitted to the underlying layers of the atmosphere, causing various natural disasters from hurricane winds and typhoons to severe
local increases in air temperature.
Although the UN officially prohibits weather manipulations during military operations, we could see it multiple times how a country uses artificial change of the
weather as a weapon against other countries [24].
However, a number of programs in this field have been in development in the
US for many years. According to Gen Gordon Sullivan, former Army chief of staff,
“As we leap technology into the 21st century, we will be able to see the enemy day
or night, in any weather—and go after him relentlessly.” A global, precise, realtime, robust, systematic weather-modification capability would provide war-fighting
the US military in the European zone with a powerful force multiplier to achieve
military objectives. Since weather will be common to all possible futures, a weathermodification capability would be universally applicable and have utility across the
entire spectrum of conflict. The capability of influencing the weather even on a small
scale could change it from a force degrader to a force multiplier.
Below is a generalized representation of the functional capabilities of seismic
weapons according to the scientific and research publication “Owning the Weather
in 2025” [25] presented by the US Air Force for open publication (Table 8.6).
Even though most basic patents in this field both in the USA and in Russia are
confidential (secret), it is possible to cite multiple public patents that demonstrate
the very fact of performance of works.
In particular, US patents, which mostly belong to a very large defense government
contractor:
– US patent 4686605. Method and design of changing a part of the Earth’s
atmosphere, ionosphere and (or) magnetosphere.
– US patent 4999637. Creation of artificial ionized clouds above the Earth.
– US patent 4712155. Method and device for creating a plasma region by artificial
electron and cyclotron heating.
– US patent 5777476. Global tomography of the Earth using electron flow
modulations in the ionosphere.
– US patent application 20070238252. Ignition of space particles in an artificially
ionized plasma system in the atmosphere.
– US patent 5068661. Emitting energy system.
– US patent 5041834. Artificial inclunable ionospheric layer made of a plasma layer.
