Project X - Lightsquared - A directed electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
What exactly would Project X look like?
It looks like a directed EMP to me, but this isn't really my area of expertise.
The owner of Lightsquared is definitely an Orren Boyle for securing massive government contracts for his satellite technology in exchange for Obama campaign cash.
The military is afraid that, if implemented,
Lightsquared's technology could crash helicopters, etc.
I know some about this, but definitely need guidance on this one.
