Argus Tests Said
To Show Feasibility
Of Moscow Blackout
Washington-CPD-A Defense
Department spokesman said
Thursday that last year's high
altitude Argus tests show the
feasibility of causing a total
-but temporary-"blackous" of
all radio and radar in- the
Moscow area. I
Roy V. Johnson, director
of the Defense Department's
Advanced Research Projects
Agency, said this could be
done, in theory, by setting off
high altitude nuclear shots
over the Indian Ocean.
He quickly added that Rus
sia, presumably by space-shots
in other areas, could produce
a similar blackout in the
United States.
Impact Not Known
Johnson cautiously dis
cussed the implications of the
Argus tests in testimony be
fore a Senate space subcom
mittee. He prefaced his com
ments with the comment that
the full military "impact" of
the tests is not known. Some
of the conclusions drawn may
have to be changed, he said.
The United States late last
summer exploded three small
atomic bombs more than 300
miles above the South Atlan
tic. The tests spread a tem
porary 100-mile thick shell of
deadly radiation above the
earth at altitudes of up to
4,000 miles.
The White House released t
a 2,400-word report giving the
first details on scientific re
sults of the high-altitude Ar
gus experiment.
Dr. Herbert York, research
director for the Defense De
partment, said the strongest
part of the shell compared in
intensity with tne natural
radiation zones in space
named after Dr. James A. Van
Allen of the University of
Iowa.
He told reporters at a White
House news conference that
hieser bombs would have cre
ated a correspondingly bigger
and more intense zone or ra
diation. Military details were kept
out of the White House re
port, and York refused to dis
cuss the explosions' effect on
such things as radio communi
cations, missile electronic
equipment, and radar early
warning systems.
Auroral Display
But the shots caused arti
ficial auroral displays, which
are known to accompany
natural electronic disturb
ances which djsrupt commu
nications. Lower altitude but
more powerful H-bomb tests
in the Pacific a few weeks
before the Argus project
blacked out radio communica
tions for hundreds of miles.
