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.

mentality, to faster adapting, information based, and tactical war fighting organization. Adapting , Transforming ,

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”.

"We are very excited about exploring capabilities in the area known as “Near Space” at

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."

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."
