translated to fried electronics after a silent (“acoustic retardation”) initiating explosion.
The term “nonlethal” is truly Orwellian.
Still, interfering beams from two vehicle-mounted transmitters of EMP weapons like
CHAMP can also be made to create a plasma arc as protection from EMPs:
[Patent No. 8,981,261, March 17, 2015, “Method and system for shockwave attenuation via electromagnetic arc”] is
for a shockwave attenuation system, which consists of a sensor capable of detecting a shockwave-generating
explosion and an arc generator that receives the signal from the sensor to ionize a small region, producing a plasma
field between the target and the explosion using lasers, electricity and microwaves. 145
Block EMPs, create EMPs. . .Scalar tech means generating energy “out of thin air” (æther),
lightning (sprites), and heat (plasma). 146
SENSORS
Laser, radar, and now sensors. Take, for example, the infrared laser radar or LiDAR (light
detection and ranging), a remote sensing instrument that meets a variety of military detection and
targeting needs. LiDAR is such a versatile weapon that its use is directly overseen by the spooky
NGA discussed in Chapter 5.
By bouncing light off of targets, LiDAR is far more accurate than radar when it comes to
ranges and distances, plus LiDAR can carry digital information rather like fiber optics without
the need for glass fibers. Stealth aircraft covered with radar-absorbent materials (RAM) that
don’t absorb laser signals use LiDAR, as do bomb damage assessment (BDA), reconnaissance,
and chemical warfare agent detection. Unlike emission spectography, LiDAR can read target
signature wavelengths without a high-temperature medium:
Atmospheric pollutants [like chemical trails] are monitored by bouncing a laser beam off clouds which are overhead
the measurement apparatus, or terrain behind the area of interest, or simply by analyzing the backscatter from the
atmosphere. The backscattered light from the laser detected by the apparatus has traveled twice through the volume of
atmosphere, once outbound and once inbound to the detection apparatus. The laser wavelengths absorbed by the
passage through the air give an accurate indication of the presence of particular chemical species, as well as their
147
concentration.
Once again, we encounter the necessity for two interfering beams—the LiDAR beam and the
designator laser beam—for “reading” the target.
Hyperspectral LiDAR imaging is the remote use of sensors to measure reflected light
signatures that identify the composition of materials like minerals, snow, and vegetation—a
lucrative tool for finding rich deposits of minerals in rugged topography like Afghanistan. Not
only can it map decades in advance of what conventional ground mapping can do, but it
multiplies the booty of war. 148 Hyperspectral LiDAR also excels in monitoring and collecting
signature data on citizens. Though the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers claims that low-flying
aircraft shining green lasers into Honolulu neighborhoods in the middle of the night was about
high-resolution LiDAR mapping, citizens remained unconvinced. 149
LiDAR is used in industry, as well—for example, the Irish corporation Treemetrics manages
its forests by combining LiDAR information, the European Space Agency’s Sentinel satellite
aerial imagery, and drone photography. 150 The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation
(GEDI) managed by University of Maryland also uses it “to study forest canopy structure in a
