Active Aerial Minefields
Is it possible to build an active aerial
minefield to protect our troops and in-country logistical supply lines? The
answer is probably yes. The Germans attempted to use hot air balloons with
charges on them. It did not work. However today we have many newer
technologies that if put together it might be possible to actually build an
active aerial mine field. For instance what about a “Metal Storm” with
lightweight munitions inside hanging from Balloons.

Any approaching threat would be met with an
overwhelming response. The balloons would be reflective for safety against
laser attack and be deadly against aircraft, UAVs or missile airspace
intrusions? Just a thought?
Having an aerial barrier between our enemy
and our assets, troops or allies is omnipotent, yet few modern warfare
techniques are able to do this. Recently a small UAV from Hezbolla was able
to avoid Israeli defenses and flew around for hours and then returned. We
must have proper defenses in place if we are to have human beings on the
battlefield who are vulnerable to attack. Previous efforts for 100% security
have failed in defense of regional areas, yet the weaponry is getting better
and the offensive side of the game much stronger and getting stronger each
and every year.
