"A high-risk, high-reward endeavor, weather-modification offers a dilemma not unlike the splitting of the atom.

From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small-scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control, weather-modification offers the war fighter a wide-range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary."
