This Defense Intelligence Reference Document, DIA-08-1004-005, is dated 6 April 2010. The Defense Intelligence Agency's Defense Warning Office prepared it under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program. It reviews proposed laboratory generators and detectors for high-frequency gravitational waves. It favors a piezoelectric approach for proof-of-concept tests, IR-excited molecules for an operational transmitter and the Li-Baker detector as the receiver. It estimates about 1.9 million bits per second over 7,000 km through the Earth and discusses timing standards and interplanetary navigation uses.
From the source: Release of 2026-09-18 Incident: 4/6/10, Las Vegas, Nevada. Released with redactions. This document is a Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIRD), a technical reference format used by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to capture baseline knowledge on a specific topic for later analytic use. DIRDs are best understood as reference and synthesis products rather than as original research. It is one of 38 DIRDs produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP) between 2009 and 2011. Because AAWSAP’s scope permitted a broad range of supporting topics, not every DIRD in the series directly concerns aerospace systems or future threat assessment. The following summary reflects the DIRD’s scope and framing at the time of writing and should not be read as implying current validation of the concepts discussed. This DIRD examines whether high-frequency gravitational waves could serve as a communications medium while avoiding the attenuation that limits radio-frequency systems. The report surveys proposed transmitter and detector concepts, argues that gravitational-wave communications could support secure point-to-point links, timing standards, and interplanetary navigation, and gives particular attention to laboratory generator concepts and the Li-Baker detector as possible building blocks for such a system. The document makes clear, however, that the entire concept depends on capabilities that had not been demonstrated in practice, including laboratory-scale generation and reliable detection of usable high-frequency gravitational-wave signals. It is an exploratory systems-oriented review built around a future communications concept.
UNCLASSIFIED/ /iiOR OiiiilCI OL lallili QPIL¥ one-microsecond-long pulses one second apart. The required average power for each FBAR band will now be 10 W. As a practical nanotechnology limit, the slice width can be reduced by two orders of magnitude to 10 nm. This would also require that the row displacements would be 110 pm (we are now into atomic if not sub-atomic dimensional changes). The overall length could be reduced to about 2 cm or the ampl itude of the HFGWs could be increased to A= 4.9x10-26 . In this latter case the average energizing microwave power applied to each band wou ld need to be increased to 1 kW. A preferred compromise in this apparent nano-technology limit might be to reduce the HFGWs generator's length to about 20 cm and increase the HFGW amplitude A to 4x 10-27 m/m. The complementary approach to optimizing a practical HFGW generator is to increase the force produced by each element without increasing the required power (that is, increasing element efficiency). This was initially done using the modern light-weight piezoelectric FBARs rather than the heavy 10-gram crystals considered by Dehnen and Romero-Borja that were of 1981 vintage. Special designs of FBAR-like elements for optimum force-generation efficiency will improve the HFGW generator performance beyond that for the usual cell-phone FBAR designs. Another approach to element design is to utilize nano-size lasers whose targets are the force-generating elements (Li and Li, 2006). Utilization of myriads of nano-size lasers would generate high-frequency HFGW pulses as noted in U. S. Patent Number 6,784,591. Thus there are a number of opportunities to enhance HFGW generation performance, utilizing special element designs, either by reducing the generator size or increasing the generated HFGW ampl itude or both. 2.1.4 Infrared-Excited Molecules Approach The very theoretical IR-generated HFGWs suggested by Woods and Baker (2009) have significant promise. If one has a standing wave in a waveguide ring and excites it properly, then one will have a GW source at its center, as shown in Figure 3. The GW flux produced at its center is proportional to the n submicroscopic particle pairs (in this case pentane molecule pairs) in each ring. There is no n2 bui ldup, but there is an n buildup. If one has a stack of N plates of rings, which are excited in sequence at light speed as a generated, growing as a GW passes by, then one has an nN2 buildup in GW flux.
