OP back here, didn't expect this thread to keep going! I know there was a reason my mind wouldn't let go of this... Ran into this interesting video the other day about the use of phase conjugation and scalar fields as weapons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0Ggmi_6JFU

Also semi related to the encryption systems you mentioned.... A few years ago I ran into this strange bill that might have been passed.
>H.R.5123 - American Freedom and Internet Access Act of 2021
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/5123/text

It is suspiciously vague and only states:

>Not later than 45 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Air Force, in consultation with the Chief of Space Operations, shall develop and begin implementation of “Operation Starfall”, a strategic plan to deploy stratospheric balloons, aerostats, or satellite technology capable of rapidly delivering wireless internet anywhere on the planet from the stratosphere or higher.

I was looking into the tech they actually intended to use and its sort of like the chinese spy baloon we saw some months ago. Basically a gigantic communications array strapped to a weather balloon or zeppelin. It includes 5g, military radio antennas, and lasers for quantum key exchange. No doubt they would also be equipped with surveilence equipment, cameras, synthetic aperture radar, etc.
