Program Description. The ARPA/RML Atmospheric Sciences Program.

Abstract

A prime uncertainty in the use of Tethered Balloons for military, scientific or commercial roles is the assessment and minimization of hazards due to lightning. The Range Measurements Laboratory of the Air Force Eastern Test Range is conducting a test program to determine the protective measures which will provide the highest degree of personnel safety and system survivability. Scientific and technical guidance from academic and industrial researchers will augment existing capabilities for experiment design, materials testing and data analysis.
