Book Review: The Corona ProjectEssay title: Book Review: The Corona ProjectOne of the enduring lessons of warfare is the advantage of taking and holding the high ground. The edge gained from being able to look down upon the enemy, detect his scheme of maneuver, and counter it from a position of dominance has long been recognized by military strategists. The need to deny this advantage to the enemy led to pioneering efforts in aerial combat in the early twentieth century and, in turn, revolutionized warfare. Today, and increasingly so in the future, that high ground is represented by space.
Just as present-day airmen trace their roots to the storied men from Dayton, future members of the US military who ply their trade above the surface of the earth will someday look back to the pioneers of the American space community. One of the central stories of the birth and early growth of our national efforts in space is detailed in The Corona Project. With this book, Curtis Peebles has completed a protracted struggle to bring to light the long-classified tale of how our nation went about preventing another Pearl Harbor during the cold war. Many aspects of that program led to todays highly protected “national technical means” of intelligence collection, but this account gives the
s. a glimpse of the truth about our space effort.
The Corona Project, as the name implies, was an investigation undertaken by the FBI on an unrelated but complementary set of circumstances. It was undertaken by a series of men who joined and served with the Air Force, including a former special operations pilot known to American Air Force Staff. All of them were highly skilled and dedicated scientists and technicians. These specialists and technicians spent the first half of their careers in the private sector, at the National Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Defense (DOD) through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. In 1981 their professional and personal activities, including those of writing, had been made into major political works and many of them would later, through the defense industry, become highly prominent at national security agencies. The Corona Project, under the command of William L. Warren, an agent and professor of nuclear engineering at the American University of Beirut, was founded to assist the development, as he called it, of a new technological weapon that would be capable of destroying any and all forms of solid and liquid atomic power supplies during a period of unprecedented technological development. One of these weapons-fusing devices is currently under development and is a design by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. It will incorporate:A new generation of high-density nanotechnology based on low-sensitivity to temperature fusion, or HEF
” and a new generation of high-density nanotechnology based on low-sensitivity to temperature fusion, or HEF.
The Corona Project is an interdisciplinary community of scientists working together to help our country develop innovative ways of using space to support our national security programs. We aim to contribute to the development of new technologies that can prevent the catastrophic fall of cities, and are looking forward to building new infrastructure to bring that future to earth.

The Corona Project is a project of the Project Command. It focuses on the development of a nuclear propulsion system without any conventional means available to the civilian government. The Corona Project has been under study by the Naval Research Laboratory for more than 20 years.
The goal is to create the only and most powerful fusion superweapon
