A Super Secret Program: Holographic Technology & US Military Psychological Operations

Illusion of Reality Technology

In the early 1990s, the US military revealed their intentions to develop optical holograms as non-lethal weapons to be used in psychological operations.

In 1991, the US Army's JFK Special Warfare Center and School disclosed that it was looking to develop a Psychological Operation (PSYOP) Hologram System, with the capability to project persuasive messages and three-dimensional pictures of cloud, smoke, rain droplets, buildings and even religious images or figures. The use of holograms as a persuasive message will have worldwide application. The article also stated, “Holographic Projection”, describes a quasi-information warfare/psychological operations program that was first discussed in the Air Force after Desert Storm. Holographic projection involves projection of a three-dimensional holographic image to project decoys, or even an "angry god" (religious imagery) above the battlefield.

Renowned national security expert and author, William M. Arkin wrote an article for the Washington Post published February 1, 1999, titled “When Seeing and Hearing Isn’t Believing”. Arkin, described a “super-secret” program that was established in 1994 to pursue technology of a "holographic projector" for deception purposes. The holographic projector was described in a classified Air Force document as a system to “project information power from space… for special operations deception missions”

Also in 1999, Timothy L Thomas, a retired US army lieutenant colonel, wrote a book about Psy-War, where he specifically drew on holograms as part of the war of deception.

“Holograms are also being considered for their value in propaganda productions, such as morphing images of political leaders. Soldiers require training to recognize misleading information produced from holograms, voice synthesis or other psychological tricks. Soon both sides will have the ability to use holograms and other IT manifestations that will offer the opportunity to completely fool one another”.

It was also reported in The Sydney Morning Herald, by David Hamling, Saturday February 5, 2000, that a USAF think-tank has devised uses ranging from deceptive holographic imaging to the Star Trek-sounding distortion field projector. These are described as useful for strategic deception purposes, particularly against an unsophisticated adversary. They would be projected by special aircraft, an airborne hologram projector.
