http://www.intelius.com/people/Barry-Coble/0czdmmmwes7Major Barry B. Coble was commissioned through the Reserve Officer Training Corps, North Carolina State University in 1981. His first assignment was as an Environmental Simulations Analyst at the USAF Environmental Technical Applications Center at Scott AFB, Illinois. From there he went to Fort Bragg, North Carolina as OIC, 7th Special Forces Special Operations Weather Team and Assistant OIC, XVIII Airborne Corps Weather Team. After completing an AFIT assignment, he proceeded to Headquarters Air Weather Service at Scott AFB, Illinois, where he worked in the Special Projects Directorate. He then went to Ramstein AB, Germany, where he served as Commander, Detachment 2, 31st Weather Squadron and as the Technical Operations Officer at the 86th Weather Squadron. Major Coble has completed Squadron Officers School and Air Command and Staff College in residence. He has a bachelor’s degree in Meteorology from North Carolina State University and a master’s degree in Meteorology from Utah State University. In July 1996, Major Coble was assigned to HQ USAF as Chief, Weather and Navigation Systems Requirements.

However, interest in the ability to modify weather has waned over recent years and is now nearly nonexistent. This study examines one aspect of weather modification, benign weather modification (BWM), for possible use in assisting military operations. After briefly reviewing the history and science of weather modification, this thesis bounds the aspects of weather modification being addressed. It then describes barriers to BWM, showing how they affect current weather modification policy in the military. Examples are shown of current civilian BWM techmques, their possible use by the military, and some military-unique needs for weather modification. After examining current weather modification and projected future BWM technology, the author concludes that military BWM use deserves another look. Increased reliance on precision guided munitions makes BWM a possible new tool in ensuring accurate targeting with minimal collateral damage. In addition, BWM offers the war planner a means to dictate battle space elements at a critical point in a conflict. At a minimum, the US military should conduct a more in-depth review of weather modification to see if technological advances offer opportunities for more 'bang for the buck.'
