My name is Matthew Best and I created this site because I believe in the Stratellite technology. The thought of an
unmanned rigid airship watching and sending communication signals from 65,000 feet for months is an incredible
thought.
The Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is currently transforming the Department of Defense from a cold war
mentality, to faster adapting, information based, and tactical war fighting organization. Adapting , Transforming ,

The unmanned rigid airship will leapfrog our military capability generations ahead of other countries.
Smaller/Stronger/Smarter Fighting Force
Imagine a U.S. commander located in Texas could alert troops and aircraft of enemy threats halfway around the
world. By pointing an invisible infrared laser pointer from a Stratellite, more information could be passed on to the
field within seconds. Stratellite Invisible Laser Pointers
Soldiers in the field could also utilize higher bandwidth for communication. Trauma Pod , Intermediate Network

The future is wireless electronic billboards that will market drivers around
the world. Very little design, maintenance and planning time, creating
lower costs and higher profits over the long term. SiliconView Electronic
Billboard. SiliconView is one of the leaders in this type of technology.
With the Stratellite technology electronic billboards will be placed all over
the cities and countryside. The Department of Homeland Security, FBI,
FEMA and State Police could also pay for the construction costs so they
could send important messages to drivers in certain locations.
This wireless technology will include gas station price signs, malls, grocery
stores and hotels. This will make several industries more competitive
across the world.

"The wave which Tesla was using is a longitudinal scalar wave, capable of many times
the speed of light. When coupled with another scalar wave (Tesla wave), the resulting
vector wave can be the source of electromagnetic energy for electrical power, a
protective force field, or a destructive weapon." -The Tom Bearden Website
The United States has spent
$189 million dollars to
broadcast Television and radio
signals into Cuba. Most of the
signals are being jammed by
the Cuban government, so of
tax payers money. However, a
network of Stratellites beaming
random signals from multiple
locations could solve the
problem.
In Afghanistan math teachers use bullets as props to teach lessons in subtraction. During decades of war, the
classroom has been the best place to indoctrinate young people with their duty to fight. Government-sponsored
textbooks in Afghanistan are filled with violence. For years, war was the only lesson that counted.
The STRAT could deliver high-speed internet and HD-TV to all classrooms and homes with power. With virtual
classrooms, the Stratellite will change the world for young and old seeking knowledge. WS1 , WS2
Recent technology demonstrations, Love said, point to the potential
use of airships to patrol a 500-mile "buffer zone" established
outward from the American coastline.
High-altitude airships, Love continued, could provide
"over-the-horizon" surveillance across North America "and out from
our coastal waters for air, ground and maritime threats."
Use of airships for homeland defense purposes, McHale explained,
is consistent with DoD's charter to provide "the military defense of
our nation from attacks that originate from abroad." Testing of
prototype dirigibles, he said, demonstrated they "could provide wide
area surveillance and communications capabilities."

A recent war simulation called “Millennium Challenge” in 2002, (RETIRED)
LIEUTENANT GENERAL PAUL K. VAN RIPER, USMC was brought out of
retirement to cordinate enemy tactics for the simulation. Millennium Challenge
was a $250 million war game involving all the branches of the military.
"There was a simulation which was done in Suffolk, Virginia. Then there were
actual forces, real units in the field, at sea and in the air, out in the
southwestern portion of the United States. Three days into Millennium
Challenge, we attacked with more cruise missiles from more directions and
more locations at sea and the air and on land than I knew their systems were
capable of handling. And the results? At least in the simulation, they lost 16 U.
S. Navy ships."
-Retired General Van Riper
Van Riper scored his victory by resorting to low tech, guerilla tactics. Orders
were hand-delivered to evade electronic snooping. Missiles were hidden on
fishing boats, small craft rammed battleships in suicide missions. The victory
exposed a weakness within the U.S. defenses and that an unorthodox sneak
attack could cripple U.S. forces.
The Stratellite will strengthen our national system defenses so the enemy can
not overwhelm our military capabilities.
A satellite and stratellite network will be more quick to respond to an attack.
The key element is faster bandwidth.
Millennium Challenge will help motivate the Department of Defense (DoD) to
consider Stratellite technology.

As new technology becomes available for the U.S. military, the need for troops
will be less of a requirement. This new transformation within the Pentagon is
rapidly underway. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is in the process of
starting a new emphasis on information warfare. For decades the U.S. military
has geared for a conventional war between the Soviet Union, and her allies.
The Soviets relied on shear numbers to overwhelm their enemy with tanks and
troops, while the West depended on a massive retaliation policy involving
nuclear weapons.
"As the branches of the military began to prepare for war against Afghanistan
and Iraq, the top generals of each branch realized that neither of the branches
could communicate to each other. With America on the verge of war, this was
not a good situation"! -USMC General Michael Hagee (Aug 2005)
The U.S. military worked out the problem, but nonetheless exposed a
vulnerability that had to be addressed in the longer term. Integrating
technology among the branches, CIA, NSA, and the FBI is the most critical
goal of the Defense Department. The concept is called “Network Centric
Warfare”.
Gen. Lance W. Lord is Commander, Air Force Space Command, Peterson Air Force
Base, Colo. He is responsible for the development, acquisition and operation of the Air
Force’s space and missile systems.
"We are very excited about exploring capabilities in the area known as “Near Space” at
an altitude between 65,000 to 325,000 feet. From our preliminary analysis, we believe
there’s substantial military utility in augmenting our current aerospace capabilities with
fielded capabilities in Near Space. These Near Space platforms are not intended to
replace air or space assets, but rather to help augment and integrate additional
capabilities."
"We have already demonstrated military utility in expanding the range of Army radios
used for contact between ground forces and to conduct Close Air Support operations.
By using affordable platforms like weather balloons, blimps or air ships, we can help
provide much needed persistence and direct support to our theater commanders and
their joint warfighters."
-General Lance W. Lord


Smart Bullets - A bullet that can duck around corners to find its mark
this might sound like science fiction. Not to Ron Barret, a professor at
Auburn University's Adaptive Aerospace Laboratory. He's already
constructed and tested the prototype for such a "smart" bullet,
dubbed the Barrel Launched Adaptive Munition (BLAM), that can do
a number of tricky maneuvers in mid-flight.
How does the BLAM work? Each BLAM round is programmed to follow
the trail of a laser beam directed at an enemy target. Signals from the
5¼-inch-long BLAM's tail cause its nose to move left, right, up or
down on command, adjusting the round's trajectory to keep it on
course. There are no near-misses with BLAM, says Barret. Every
bullet scores a direct hit. As a result, a perfectly placed shot can
disable a tank or take down a helicopter. It is a sniper's dream come
true. "Ordinary bullets start losing altitude as soon as they leave the
barrel of a gun," Barret explains. "However, mine can adjust their
trajectories, automatically elevating themselves to counter the
downward pull of gravity. This would significantly increase their
range." The disadvantage of Barret's invention is its high price,
presently estimated at around $120 per round. However, the
Alabama-based engineer believes that if they manufactured in large
quantities, the cost of a single BLAM could drop to around 50 cents.
Barret's BLAM design is currently being evaluated by the U.S. Army.
Could smart bullets range be extended further with laser/broadband
technology?
Could the STRAT carry smart bullets as ordinance?
"If we can develop this smart bullet and perfect it we will literally have
bullets with someone's name on it fired from planes and no terrorist
will be able to jump out of his car because he hears a helicopter
coming."

No longer will laser guided weapons require special
forces, and fighter aircraft.
Scenario: A Syrian convoy of trucks enters the Iraqi unmarked
border. Miles from any roadway the intruders think they are safe
delivering arms to Iraqi insurgents. One hundred miles away the
Stratellite paints the enemy target, while sending information to the
closest U.S. Military base. Within minutes the U.S. base commander
has clearance to destroy the convoy and launches 3 laser guided
missiles.
Within ten minutes the Stratellite guides the missiles straight to the
target. No fighter aircraft, or Special
Forces, only the Stratellite communications, and laser guided
missiles.

Admiral Timothy J. Keating is Commander, North American
Aerospace Defense Command and United States Northern

"Focusing on emerging technologies to meet our requirements. We
urge Congress to fully fund the following promising initiatives. High
Altitude Airship Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration."
"NORAD, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Missile Defense
Agency, and the U.S. Army are working together to demonstrate the
technical feasibility and military utility of an unmanned, untethered,
long-duration High Altitude Airship. The High Altitude Airship
Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration seeks to build and fly
a prototype high altitude airship in order to validate this capability."
"The goal of the high altitude airship is to provide a long endurance,
geo- stationary, re-taskable multi-mission platform capable of
performing wide area intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and
communications. Battle Control System-Fixed. Battle Control
System-Fixed will improve NORAD`s capability to monitor, track, and
intercept unknown aircraft in the approaches to and within North
American airspace. Battle Control System- Fixed will provide
connectivity with radars and sensors across North America, thereby
giving the United States and Canada a more seamless integrated air
defense capability."

"Role of Director of National Intelligence" - July 28, 05
|
Gen. Michael V. Hayden is Principal Deputy Director of
National Intelligence, Washington, D.C. Appointed by
President George W. Bush, he is the first person to serve in
this position. General Hayden is responsible for overseeing
the day-to-day activities of the national intelligence program.
He is the highest-ranking military intelligence officer in the
armed forces.
In July 2005, Senator Rick Renzi explained to General Hayden
that the U.S. should spend whatever it takes to watch our
border and assist our southern neighbors with the war on
drugs and terror.
"Whether we are using drones or airships, whatever it may
be....we've got to have actionable intelligence that's
downlinked along the border, not just reactionary on defense
but more proactive along the border."
-Senator Rick Renzi

FISCAL 2006 DEFENSE BUDGET
"...DoD also assisted the U.S Coast Guard in evaluating sensors and platforms that will
enhance their ability to conduct wide area surveillance to detect, identify, and track
vessels of interest. To this end, the U.S Coast Guard has explored long range radar
systems, UAVs, and High Altitude Long Endurance and Lighter than Air airships..."
-Paul McHale
Secretary of Defense, Donald H. Rumsfeld:
"Transformation is an ongoing process. It is not something that ends. It is a continuum,
because the world is not static. And it's a process in which we create an effective
fighting force with new ways of thinking, with new culture, and with new ways of fighting,
and, to be sure, in some instances, with new weapons systems and platforms, but also
how they are used together, as we have seen in Afghanistan." -Donald Rumsfeld
Missile Defense Funding Request - March 26, 2004

The agency is also asking for $200 million in fiscal 2005 to
develop advanced systems to develop laser technology and
laser radar, advanced discrimination, improved focal plane
arrays, and a high-altitude airship for improved surveillance,
communication, and early warning, the general told the
legislators.
Another $834 million is being requested to buy equipment and
ramp up the testing of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense
program, a capability to engage in the late midcourse and
terminal layers of missile defense. THAAD recently completed
its design readiness review, and development hardware
manufacturing is under way, Kadish said. The THAAD radar
was completed ahead of schedule and rolled out this month.
Flight testing is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of fiscal
2005 at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.

Gen. John P. Jumper is Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force,
Washington, D.C. As Chief, he serves as the senior uniformed
Air Force officer responsible for the organization, training and
equipage of 710,000 active-duty, Guard, Reserve and civilian
forces serving in the United States and overseas. As a
member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the general and other
service chiefs function as military advisers to the Secretary of
Defense, National Security Council and the President.
"I've been intrigued by near space's potential for persistent
space-like effects on the battlefield ever since I first heard
about it," the Air Force's chief of staff, Gen. John Jumper,
wrote earlier this year in a forward to a paper on the subject.
"Near-space has been a cultural blind spot — too high up for
aircraft, but too low for satellites."

The benefits of a Stratellite:
1. The Strat will be placed 13 miles above the earth, while a satellite is an estimated 22 thousand miles above the earth. The difference allows the Stratellite to send and receive much higher bandwidth to and from the earth’s surface. The sending and receiving of higher bandwidth signals is critical to the Stratellites versatility and how it can change practically every industry in the world.
2. The Strat can remain in the stratosphere for about 18 months, and can be retrieved for refitting and upgrading.
3. The cost of a Strat is about thirty million dollars, while a satellite is about one to five hundred million and turns into space junk after 10 or 12 years. However, solar flares from the sun have hurt the life endurance of satellites in recent years. The life expectation of satellites is somewhat uncertain at this time.
4. The Strat could be placed over disaster areas within 24 hours of notice. Hurricane Katrina devastated communication infrastructure, but with the Strat all cell phones and other communications would have worked during rescue and recovery operations. In the next few months, look for the U.S. Congress to consider the Strat for disaster relief for future contingencies.
