iono.jpl.nasa.gov... It can cause problems with satellite communications and navigation. It's no wonder that the military is interested in forecasting and/or mitigating it but I see nothing about an early warning missile shield in those paragraphs. There is the single mention about using HAARP to study the generation of artificial scintillation but that's covered in a few civilian papers (and wiki).
Irregularly sturctured ionospheric regions can cause diffraction and scattering of trans-ionospheric radio signals. When received at an antenna, these signals present random temporal fluctuations in both amplitude and phase. This is known as ionospheric scintillation.

We've been talking about what HAARP can do. Research. And that is all this budget estimate is talking about. There is not one word about using it as a shield or weaponry.
1) We've been talking about ELF/VLF radiation and its applications.
2) A computer model to forecast the effects of solar flares makes a lot of sense. Studying how the ionosphere reacts is one of the primary purposes of HAARP.
3) What does AMOS have to do with HAARP? It's optical, HAARP is not.
4) Ionospheric scintillation isiono.jpl.nasa.gov... It can cause problems with satellite communications and navigation.

5) Again, studying the effects of solar activity on the ionosphere and its effect on scintillation. More talk about what can be done about dealing with scintillation. But they're talking about Africa. HAARP isn't in Africa. Equatorial plasma bubbles are another type of disturbance in the ionosphere which can interfere with operations. They would like to be able to create computer models of them which can be incorporated into C3 systems, not use them as weapons (hint: search "warfighter products").
6) Stuff we already know. They have generated ELF/VLF radiation (see my link). They want to do it better so they can figure out how natural and artificial ELF/VLF radiation interacts with space weather. They want to learn more about how to protect satellites from space weather.
7) I have no idea why you included research on seismic monitoring of nuclear testing in this blitz.
Science and stuff.
I don't really see anything that earth shaking (except for the seismic monitoring) in the document and and a whole lot of it is has nothing to do with HAARP.
Confuse 'em with facts. The more the better. No matter how unrelated they may be. That's the Zorgon way.

President Bush signed a secret document called National Security Policy Directive 23. The public version of this secret document outlines a world-wide missile defense system, starting with the first installation to be in Alaska about 30 miles from the existing HAARP site. The purported aim of this missile system is to protect against missiles coming from North Korea and other rising rogue nation/states.
If it is exposed that HAARP already is a complete operating anti-missile system which covers all of the Pacific Ocean and most of eastern Asia, including China and Korea, then the need to build the big missile system and the campaign contributions to Bush all suddenly dry up.
And thus the reason for completely covering up the truth about HAARP. The public is only supposed to know HAARP to be some quirky mind or weather control experiment only believed in by conspiracy theorists. The use by the Navy and Air Force, who jointly operate HAARP, to bring down a threatening North Korean missile over Alaska last February 1, at the same time Shuttle Columbia was landing is about to expose HAARP for the advanced defense/weapon system it is.
A Palindromatic Meeting In The Middle, Outside of Time...
Sounding Circle implies the cycles, spirals and symbols of our thought, our culture, our lineage and our imagination
The Defense Department plans to employ an evolutionary approach to the development and deployment of missile defenses to improve our defenses over time. The United States will not have a final, fixed missile defense architecture. Rather, we will deploy an initial set of capabilities that will evolve to meet the changing threat and to take advantage of technological developments. The composition of missile defenses, to include the number and location of systems deployed, will change over time.

planetary shield (for missile defense and solar radiation).
"complete operating anti-missle system" in 2003. You believe him. I see no reason to.

So are you going to provide the drawer that your figures were aught upon or just brag about it some more??
I'm just curious as actually denying ignorance isn't asking someone to follow a daft lead.
In case there is any misunderstanding here; I am calling you a troll of the lowest order.

It should be pointed out that a most remarkable optical phenomenon was observed during the two heating cycles - A development of local spiral-like forms in the auroral arc near Tromso occurred after the heater was turned on. Furthermore, the brightening and subsequent break-up of an auroral arc at 21:33:50 UT took place above Tromso.
Weak optical emissions have been produced for decades in such ionospheric ‘heating’ experiments, where they serve as key indicators of electron acceleration, thermal heating, and other effects of incompletely understood wave–particle interactions in the plasma under conditions difficult to replicate in the laboratory2. The extremely low intensities produced previously have, however, required sensitive instrumentation for detection, preventing applications beyond scientific research. Here we report observations of radio-induced optical emissions bright enough to be seen by the naked eye, and produced not in the quiet mid-latitude ionosphere, but in the midst of a pulsating natural aurora. This may open the door to visual applications of ionospheric heating technology or provide a way to probe the dynamics of the natural aurora and magnetosphere.
High-power electromagnetic waves beamed into the ionosphere from ground-based transmitters illuminate the night sky with enhanced airglow. The recent development of a new intensified, charge coupled-device imager made it possible to record optical emissions during ionospheric heating. Clouds of enhanced airglow are associated with large-scale plasma density cavities that are generated by the heater beam. Trapping and focusing of electromagnetic waves in these cavities produces accelerated electrons that collisionally excite oxygen atoms, which emit light at visible wavelengths. Convection of plasma across magnetic field lines is the primary source for horizontal motion of the cavities and the airglow enhancements. During ionospheric heating experiments, quasi-cyclic formation, convection, dissipation and reappearance of the cavites comprise a major source of long-term variability in plasma densities during ionospheric heating experiments.
