PROGRAM Main Graph Dossier Available

Summary

Soviet/Russian plasma weapons program. Academician Ramiliy Avramenko, chief designer of the Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making (NIIR). Concept: focus beams of electromagnetic energy (laser or microwave) into upper atmosphere (up to 50 km) to create plasmoid (highly ionized air cloud). Any object (missile, airplane) entering it is deflected from trajectory and disintegrates due to abrupt pressure difference. Key: energy focused 'not on the target, but under the wing of the aircraft or ahead of the missile' — creates 'air pockets.' Power: ~10 MW microwave/laser, 1-meter spot at 50 km, phased arrays. Avramenko: 'plasma ABM weapons will cost several orders of magnitude less than SDI.' 'Doveriye' (Trust) experiment: Yeltsin proposed to Clinton at April 1993 Vancouver meeting a joint US-Russian experiment at Kwajelein Atoll. Russian Patent RU-2227892-C1: 'Space-air defense complex' — explicitly mentions plasmoid ejection from interceptor missile. INDEPENDENTLY CONFIRMED via FBIS translations, Russian patents, and US patents.
