|

|
|
|
| "Modification of the near-space environment is crucial to battlespace dominance. |
|
|
|
| "A number of methods have been explored or proposed to modify the ionosphere, |
|
|
|
| including injection of chemical vapors, |
|
|
|
| and heating or charging via electromagnetic radiation, |
|
|
|
or particle beams (such as ions,
neutral particles, and x-rays." |
|

"It is important to note that many
techniques to modify the upper atmosphere, |
