experiments that solved the problem of keeping the lower atmosphere ionized to sandwich
between near-earth orbit space platforms and a conductive ground-based infrastructure. HAARP
fulfilled every military hope and more: it altered the relationship between the ionosphere and the
troposphere while Project Cloverleaf provided jet deliveries of conductive nanoparticles around
the globe as smaller and mobile ionospheric heaters were built, and radar installations, towers,
and phased-array installations proliferated.
On October 1, 2004, NAVSPASUR was passed from the U.S. Navy to the U.S. Air Force
20th Space Control Squadron and renamed the AN/FPS-133 Air Force Space Surveillance
System (SSS / the VHF Fence), a key component of the Space Surveillance Network (SSN).
In August 2013—one year before HAARP’s shutdown—the AFSSS ceased operation so it
could be recalibrated to the frequencies and pulses of the global infrastructure of ionospheric
heaters, radar installations, towers, NexRads, wind farms, fracking wells, etc.
In 2014, the Lockheed Martin SATCOM Technologies team (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon,
AMEC, AT&T, and General Dynamics) began building a six-acre array system on the Kwajalein
17
Atoll 2,100 nautical miles southwest of Honolulu that would replace the AFSSS with an S-
18
band (2.2–2.3GHz) ground-based radar system of four hundred or so units in service to
continuous space situational awareness.

“The ground-based receive array is an elegant merger of a huge physical structure built with the precision of a
complex scientific or medical instrument,” said Mike DiBiase, a vice president and general manager of General
Dynamics Mission Systems. “The SATCOM Technologies-built array has the sensitivity to locate, identify and track
19
objects as small as a softball, hundreds of miles above the Earth’s surface.”

A scaled-down version of the Lockheed Martin Kwajalein Atoll next-generation space
surveillance system opened in 2016 in New Jersey as a “test site.” 20
As part of the Space Situational Awareness Group of the U.S. Air Force, the Space Based
Space Surveillance (SBSS) system detects and tracks space objects in orbit around the Earth
while the previously classified Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP)
satellites are loaded with dedicated SSN electro-optical sensors in communication with Air Force
Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) ground stations like Schriever Air Force Base in conjunction
with the 50th Space Wing of Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) in Colorado Springs. (The
present incarnation of GSSAP gives a whole new meaning to “neighborhood watch.”)

GSSAP satellites will support Joint Functional Component Command for Space (JFCC SPACE) tasking to collect
21
space situational awareness data . . .

Broadly speaking, AFSPC has four missions: (1) space forces support; (2) space control; (3)
force enhancement (weather, communications, intelligence, missile warning, navigation); and (4)
force application. Translated, this is C4.
The 50th Space Wing satellite operators of the 1st Space Operations Squadron uplink C4
calculations for weapons command from MacDill Air Force Base (Patriot missile and Iron
Dome) and are in touch with the Kwajalein Atoll installation that feeds data to the Joint Space
Operations Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base and with Eglin Air Force Base Site C-6 radar
station whose AN/FPS-85 phased-array radar runs the radar / computer processing.

It is important to remember that the U.S. Air Force was tutored by Paperclip Nazi scientists
like Hubertus Strughold, M.D., who conducted pilot stress tests and experiments in radiobiology
and human radiation at the School of Aviation Medicine (SAM) near Randolph Air Force Base
