Applications of High‐Frequency Gravitational Waves to the Global War on Terror

Applications of high‐frequency gravitational waves or HFGWs to the global war on terror are now realistic because technology developed by GravWave® LLC and other institutions overseas can lead to devices, some already constructed, that can generate and detect HFGWs. In fact, three HFGW detectors have been built outside the United States and an ultra high‐sensitive Li‐Baker HFGW Detector has been proposed. HFGW generators have been proposed theoretically by the Russians, Germans, Italians and Chinese. Because of their unique characteristics, such as their ability to pass through all material without attenuation, HFGWs could be utilized for uninterruptible, very low‐probability‐of‐intercept (LPI), high‐bandwidth communications among and between anti‐terrorist assets. One such communications system, which can be constructed from off‐the‐shelf elements, is discussed. The HFGW generation device or transmitter alternative selected is based upon bands of piezoelectric crystal, film‐bulk acoustic resonators or FBARs energized by conventional Magnetrons. The system is theoretically capable of transmitting and detecting, through use of the Li‐Baker HFGW detector, a signal generated on the opposite side of the Earth. Although HFGWs do not interact with and are not absorbed by ordinary matter, their presence can be detected by their distortion of spacetime as measured by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory (LIGO), Virgo, GEO600, et al., by detection photons generated from electromagnetic beams having the same frequency, direction and phase as the HFGWs in a superimposed magnetic field (Li‐Baker HFGW Detector), by the change in polarization HFGWs produce in a microwave guide (Birmingham University Detector) and by other such instruments. Potential theoretical applications, which may or may not be practical yet theoretically possible, are propulsion, including “moving” space objects such as missiles, anti‐missiles and warheads in flight; surveillance through buildings and the Earth itself and remote initiation of nuclear events. Such applications can only be quantified and established as practical by the proof‐of‐concept generation and detection of HFGWs in the laboratory experiment. These important potential HFGW applications are motivations for HFGW research and development and such an R&D program is recommended for immediate initiation.
