How that “wildfire” so PRECISELY burned out Maui’s poorer residents—who may now be “resettled” in a “15-minute city” (Schwabspeak for “concentration camp”)

That, or a portion of the ‘missing’ children aren’t…..and were hustled off to the slave trade market while everyone wasn’t looking.
Just ask Hillary about the Haiti disaster she took advantage of in more ways than one.

Check this out Saul…US AIRFORCE or maybe now US SPACE FORCE website…and on Maui too??? I hope they got all of the brush away from their DEW Weapons before the fires came in?

DIRECTED ENERGY

We have unprecedented power to direct energy in a way that serves, protects and champions freedom. From powerful electromagnetics to electro-optics, we’re always exploring new ways to give our warfighters the upper-hand.

High Power Microwaves offer the warfighter innovative technologies that enable a variety of low collateral damage military applications that will allow the warfighter to achieve counter electronic effects, counter improvised explosive devices and counter weapons of mass destruction.

In the not-too-distant future, focused beams of microwave energy will be used defensively to protect planes and ships against incoming missiles, and offensively to attack militarily important electronic targets. These beams will emanate from sophisticated compact devices that convert a modest quantity of stored electrical energy into high-power bursts that have the capacity to penetrate structures and disrupt delicate electronic devices that reside within. This vision of modern directed energy warfare is enabled by revolutionary HPEM advances made in the recent past and by additional anticipated advances.

In general, laser weapons offer warfighters unique opportunities for quick and precise target engagement, flexibility and lighter and more responsive support logistics. Some of the capabilities that make lasers attractive for operational users are:

• Speed-of-light delivery

• Multiple target engagements and rapid retargeting

• Deep magazines

• Low incremental cost per shot

• Exceptional accuracy and adjustability

• Lower logistical support requirements

Today, AFRL is working with the Air Force and other Department of Defense partners to bring high energy laser weapons to the warfighter. AFRL is rapidly maturing fiber laser beam combining capabilities, where larger numbers of fiber laser amplifiers are combined into a single beam. Significant progress has been made in increasing the output power of individual fiber laser amplifiers. Through beam combining, single amplifier improvements result in enormous power scaling. AFRL is actively transitioning this and other key technology elements to strategic DoD entities and prime contractors for use in Advanced Technology Demonstrations.

AIRFORCE ‘MAUI’ OPTICAL AND SUPER COMPUTING (AMOS) SITE
ABOUT THE AMOS MAUI SITE

The AMOS site consists of two facilities that conduct SDA operations and research and development (R&D). The first facility is the Maui Space Surveillance System (MSSS) and the second is the Maui High Performance Computing Center (MHPCC).

Research thrusts at the AMOS site include satellite detection and identification, atmospheric compensation and resolved imaging, astrodynamics and orbital metrics, sensor development, laser propagation through the Earth’s atmosphere, database cataloging of satellite images, and high-performance computer modeling and simulation. In addition to its use as an R&D facility, AMOS has been called upon to help identify and/or track spacecraft payloads and communication satellites.
The unique focus on research and development as well as operations provides a rapid development cycle from concept to operational implementation. Researchers are exposed to the actual needs of the operational space community and are able to provide innovative answers in an operationally relevant time frame.

Products include satellite imagery, space object signature data, space object positional data, advanced image post processing, data exploitation tools and techniques, laser propagation through the Earth’s atmosphere, and high performance computer modeling and simulation. Most recently AFRL installed a sodium guidestar, which has the ability to propagate light into the sodium layer of the atmosphere and create an artificial star.

MAUI SPACE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (MSSS)

As a state-of-the-art electro-optical facility, the MSSS combines research and development with an operational mission; the only one of its kind in the world. The location at 10,000 feet above sea level and Maui’s stable climate with minimal scattered surface light provide excellent viewing conditions most days of the year. MSSS uses its visible and infrared sensors, adaptive optics, and telescopes to collect imaging and signature data on near-Earth and deep-space objects. AFRL scientists and engineers analyze this data and disseminate imaging and signature products in support of SDA current needs.
