Warfare uses - Ground Based Weaponry You remember 'Star Wars'? It was deemed crap science and a waste of tax payers money? It was also breaking International Treaties on Space Based Weaponry. It's a 'no can do' science. So Raytheon found away around it by using HAARP's abilities 'from the ground up'. Right, it's a technicality...as long as they call it, "research".
BAE Systems bought H.A.A.R.P.'s Alaskan facility from Raytheon, in 2004.
