Is it possible to use Lightning Storms to hit our enemies in the battlespace during wartime? Owning the weather, which is a military directive and absolute goal by 2025, maybe the key to getting our enemies to serve our political will. Imagine creating a lightning Thunder Storm over your enemy area, one which disrupt their radar guided weapons? Then directing any built up energy in the clouds from the friction of the storms into lightning bolts onto communication towers, command and control centers or even to strike convoys, tanks, aircraft or Unmanned Aerial or Ground Vehicles. (UAV or UGV) There are many ways to send a charge to via microwave, laser or directed sound waves to build up a static charge on an object making it inviting for a potential lightning strike. Sounds good right, well as long as you are not on the receiving end of 100,000 to 1-million volts of energy traveling at the speed of light into your base camp, command center or military vehicle, in that case no, it is not so great really. If we can use lightning to take out our enemies, combatants or those who wish us ill then in fact we will have less of those sorts of people trying to attack us. Plus we can reduce collateral damage and not have the environment problems of exploded ordinance after wards, just a lot of fried electronic equipment and enemies who have simply given up their will to fight and promise to behave now. Think on this, we are. |
