Defense Intelligence Reference Document High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Communications

Defense Intelligence Agency · 57 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Defense Intelligence Reference Document was prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency under its Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program, is dated 6 April 2010 and is part of a series of advanced technology reports produced in FY 2009. It reviews proposed laboratory generators and detectors of high-frequency gravitational waves for communications. It favors an infrared-excited molecules transmitter and the Li-Baker detector, estimating about 1.9 million bits per second over 7,000 km through the Earth. It also discusses timing standards and interplanetary navigation uses.

Next consider a number N of such orbit planes stacked one on top of another with the
gravitational-wave (GW) radiation growing flux (Wm·2) proportional to N2 as the GW
moves up the axis of the N orbit planes as in Figure 5.
