That is the purpose of haarp, is to manipulate the radio "reflectivity" of the upper atmosphere.
By selectively "heating" regions of the upper atmosphere, you can change how radio signals can be bounced through it.
As a military system you can increase the range at which you can communicate via radio, or you can deny the enemy the use of their own radios, by bouncing the signals away from the reciever.

The very basic idea for haarp originaly was localized "theater area" control of weather over the battle field.
by heating portions of the atmosphere you could concieveable assert some degree of control of the local weather environment.
It is unsubstantiated whether or not this approach was ever taken on or not.
I suspect that the technology was tested in Iraq on a tactical level.

During the invasion, while US armor was advancing on bahgdad, the Republican guards had obtained an advantageous position to stop a portion of the US advance. US commanders knew where the iraqis were, but there was no way to get around them, without engaging them. The armor column stopped and in the next few hrs, and after it got dark an unseasonably fierce dust storm blew up out of no where, making it impossible for the iraqis to see or move.
But with the us's use of flir and the like we were able to maneuver in the dark and the dust with out being seen by the iraqis, and moved around thier flank and past them with out engaging them.
This is just supposition on my part, but to sort of back it up, I saw a photograph, one of random collection of pictures shot by embedded photogs that was published online somewhere, probably the AP.
One of the photos was of dozens of portable radio units, a trailer with a generator and radio gear and attenae. Dozens of them all by their lonesome in somewhere in the desert, "at a classified location" as the caption put it.
There were so many of them in one place, i dont see how they could have been used for communication.

Just the same sort of thing the actual haarp facility is, an array of radio antennea.
