I couple of you have it right on target.
This tech is NOT new at all. It can't be called "anti-gravity" but there are multiple ways to levitate (so to speak) an object. Some of the recent
topics being discussed here on ATS even give clues as to how. Even so, "how" is relative, as making something "float" wasn't so hard as finding a
system that would keep it there, keep it cooled, keep it quiet, and above all else keep it within budget restrictions.
Some individuals here are tying these devices together with spaceships but, at least here in the USA, the United States Space Command group, and even
the joint "Vision" "Master Plan" operating committees/associates really have had nothing to do with the development at all. Their R&D had been focused
more on information gathering, protection, and "decay"/destruction technologies. Even the US Army & Air Force engineering groups have had to focus on
more "immediate needs" like rapid airstrip deployment, weather and hydrology info gathering, geospatial, and most recently the DoD's HPCMP or "ezHCP"
systems for continued supercomputer modernization.
A "floating" weapon has been on the back-burner no matter what people tell you. But the private sector groups have had this on their minds for a long
time and after funneling through DARPA, works just fine. It's just going to be a long while until it's seen, and this is simply because right now a)
it's just not that fast, and b) there is too much red tape to go through because certain people are paranoid to use it for Defensive purposes due to
the possibility of capture and disassembly. What people see, or claim to have seen, I dismiss, but in terms of a manned vehicle? no. Radiation. EMP
effects on ground monitoring stations(shielding being researched by the Army's ERDC group that was stated above too, actually..) The method I like the
best uses an "element" that actually becomes lighter when heated. I don't mean convectors when I say this, I mean an actual material.
That's what I can/will share, and state now that despite the above mentioned information, I do not lay claim to authenticity nor responsibility in
accordance with the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act for any of the above stated material if found to be incriminating.
