Episode #56: High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) 1su6a

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, more commonly known as "HAARP," is a t Air Force and Navy research program to enhance our knowledge of the physics of the ionosphere and radio science. The ionosphere, an upper atmosphere layer between about 60 and 200 miles in altitude, contains charged particles created by solar activity. These charged particles can impact long-range communications and space operations.HAARP is a research program and facility whose goal is to understand the impact of the ionosphere on communications and space systems and to aid in the development of methods to improve DoD’s utilization of these systems.Today we are ed by key of the HAARP management team from both Air Force and Navy, including: • Mr. James Battis, HAARP Program Manager, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Space Vehicles Directorate• Dr. Todd Pedersen, Senior Research Physicist, AFRL, Space Vehicles Directorate• Dr. Keith Groves , Senior Research Physicist, AFRL, Space Vehicles Directorate• Dr. Paul Bernhardt, Senior Research Physicist, Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Plasma Physics Division• Dr. Craig Selcher, HAARP Program Manager, NRL, Plasma Physics DivisionAdditional links:Air Force Research LaboratoryAFRL/Space Vehicles DirectorateNaval Research LaboratoryHAARP Read Transcript The appearance of advertising on this Web site, does not constitute endorsement by the Department of Defense, of the products or services d on this site. 495955
