A ROADMAP FOR NORTH SLOPE GAS CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
A roadmap for North Slope Gas Development was developed in 1986. This included concepts from the original 3
ARCO patents and new ideas developed or embellished by subcontractors from Titan Systems Corporation and
SAIC Corporation. The major subsections of the roadmap were:
Ballistic Missile Shield
Strategic Space Weapon Defense
ASAT (Anti Satellite Weapon)
Satellite Corridor Formation (Van Allen Belt Drainage)
Over the Horizon (OTH) Reflector (Ionospheric Patch Formation)
Communications-ELF/VLF
Detection and Discrimination
Satellite Interrogation
Ground to Space Power Beaming (ARCO Satellite Gas Station)
Nuclear Weapons Effects Simulation
Atmospheric Modifications
Weather Modification
Environmental Modification
Space Elevator
Ballistic Missile Launch Detection (Whispering Gallery)
Synergistic Applications
Enhanced Oil Recovery
The history in HAARPSROOTS indicates progress in some of these areas. (i.e. contracts awarded) The HAARP
facility itself was an outgrowth of this road map. A generic briefing was prepared and Simon Ramo and others
helped ARCO and APTI (A wholly owned subsidiary of ARCO at that time) market various concepts. Some of
them, such as satellite corridor formation are active areas of research at the HAARP facility. Some figures that
were used during the "sales" efforts to the DOD are shown below:
