HAARP: The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program
Het High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is een Amerikaans militair en civiel onderzoeksinstituut in Alaska, dat onderzoek doet naar de ionosfeer.
Dit onderzoek richt zich onder andere op hoogfrequente elektromagnetische (be)straling van de ionosfeer, waardoor deze lokaal tijdelijk wordt vervormd. Andere onderzoeksgebieden zijn inzicht verkrijgen op het gebied van radiogolven, communicatie en navigatie.
Het project is gestart in 1993, en zal 20 jaar duren. Het project wordt gezamenlijk gefinancierd door de United States Air Force, de United States Navy, de Universiteit van Alaska en Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. (DARPA).
In het Engels over dit project:
The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is an ionospheric research facility jointly funded by the US Air Force, the US Navy, the University of Alaska, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
Its purpose is to analyze the ionosphere and investigate the potential for developing ionospheric enhancement technology for communications and surveillance purposes.
Started in 1993, the project is proposed to last for a period of twenty years.
De website van HAARP meldt onder meer over dit project:
HAARP is a scientific endeavor aimed at studying the properties and behavior of the ionosphere, with particular emphasis on being able to understand and use it to enhance communications and surveillance systems for both civilian and defense purposes.
The HAARP program is committed to developing a world class ionospheric research facility consisting of:
- The Ionospheric Research Instrument (IRI), a high power transmitter facility operating in the High Frequency (HF) range. The IRI will be used to temporarily excite a limited area of the ionosphere for scientific study.
- A sophisticated suite of scientific (or diagnostic) instruments that will be used to observe the physical processes that occur in the excited region.
Observation of the processes resulting from the use of the IRI in a controlled manner will allow scientists to better understand processes that occur continuously under the natural stimulation of the sun.
Scientific instruments installed at the HAARP Observatory will be useful for a variety of continuing research efforts which do not involve the use of the IRI but are strictly passive. Among these studies include ionospheric characterization using satellite beacons, telescopic observation of the fine structure in the aurora, and documentation of long-term variations in the ozone layer.
