DARPA established an MOA with the Air Force and Navy for this program in November 2002. The HAARP technology is transitioning to the Air Force and Navy in FY 2006.

A recent study
completed by an Air Force/Navy Panel also points to additional high-value functions that can potentially be accomplished with the a 3.6 MW capability, in particular, the exploration and refinement of scientific principles that could lead to the development and deployment of a system to provide protection for space-based assets from emergent asymmetric threats.
developed under the HAARP program, also budgeted under this project.

It'd be nice if it turned out that it was a kind of weapon. Maybe we could use it for defense against nuclear missiles?
Is HAARP capable of affecting the weather?
The HAARP facility will not affect the weather.

which, now at full power (3.6MW), can dump huge amounts of energy into the ionoshpere/magnetoshpere almost anywhere above the planet.

If this sounds good to you, we diverge massively! Erm, by the way, just who were you expecting to send missiles at you?

Whle we're on the sunject, does anyone know how HAARP first became publicly known? Was it something they decided all on their own to inform the public about or was it something that people found out and started talking about so that they finally decided to release PR materials about? Or other other ticbits from its early times, for example did the patent become known right away and then its started, and so on??

This led to an Ionospheric Modification/ELF Workshop held the following month at NUSC on 9-11 January 1990. It was attended by personnel from a number of government agencies, as well as from several universities and the private sector. The workshop was billed as providing "an opportunity for broad-based inputs concerning research needs in ionospheric modification. In addition, potential systems were defined, and the characteristics of a new, unique, HF heating facility were discussed and identified."
Early November 1993 the United States Air Force announced, via press release, that the prime contractor on the HAARP program was Arco Power Technologies, Incorporated, (APTI) owner of the patents of Eastlund and other APTI scientists.
The Appropriation Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 1990 provided funds for the
creation of HAARP, jointly managed by the Air Force Research Laboratory
and the Office of Naval Research. Three contracts were awarded to ARCO
Power Technologies (APTI) to begin feasibility studies in 1991. In 1992 the
principal contract to begin construction was awarded, also to APTI

I believe the second quote would have been the spark of intrest to environmentalist that may have further exposed the HAARP reality that has come to be.

From everything I have read prior to this article implied that HAARP was a civilian science project.
Updated 3/9/07 [as of this post], by DARPA office TTO an article briefing on HAARP states that it was developed
to exploit emerging ionosphere and radio science technologies related to advanced defense applications.
I had read before that because HARRP was
it was believed HAARP would turn into a defense technology even though it was said to be completely for civilian scientific use....

Crazy speculations on HAARP's capabilities have been made and if they are true I can see why the DoD has such big balls.
Either way I'm mostly impartial on HAARP but wanted to bring this update to the surface to see what you guys thought.
Anyone care to save me paper writing time by elaborating on the significance of this update and also some of the implied speculation on HAARP conspiracy?
I'll try to link some threads later when I'm free. [assuming anyone can ever even actually be free]
