PROJECT MOGUL
Project MOGUL was first conceived by Dr. Maurice Ewing of Columbia University,
NY, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, MA. Dr. Ewing had conducted
considerable research for the Navy during World War II, studying, among other
things, the "sound channel" in the ocean. He proved that explosions could be
heard thousands of miles away with underwater microphones placed at a
predetermined depth within the sound channel. He theorized that since sound
waves generated by explosions could be carried by currents deep within the
ocean, they might be similarly transmitted within a sound channel in the upper
atmosphere. The military application of this theory was the long-range detection
of sound waves generated by Soviet nuclear detonations and the acoustical
signatures of ballistic missiles as they traversed the upper atmosphere. He
presented his theory to General Carl Spaatz, Chief of Staff of the Army Air
Forces, in the fall of 1945.6 The project was approved, and research was begun by
the scientific research agency of the US Army Air Forces (USAAF), the Air
Materiel Command (AMC), early in 1946. The project was assigned to HQ AMC,
Engineering Division, Electronics Subdivision, which in turn assigned the project
to AMC's Watson Laboratories, Engineering Division, Applied Propagation
Subdivision, located in Red Bank, NJ.
SCOPE
Project MOGUL initially focused on three areas of technology: (1) an expendable
microphone, capable of detecting, at long range, low-frequency sound transmis-
sions generated by explosions and missiles; (2) a means of telemetering these
sounds to a ground or airborne receiver; and (3) a system from which to suspend
the microphone and telemetering device in the upper atmosphere for an extended
period of time. To meet these criteria, contracts were awarded by AMC to
Columbia University (AMC contract no. W28-099-ac-82) for the acoustical
equipment, and to New York University (NYU) for the development of constant-
level balloons (AMC contract no. W28-099-ac- 241). After the initial contracts
were awarded, Project MOGUL branched out into many areas related to the
geophysical properties of the upper atmosphere, including radiowave propaga-
tion, radar propagation, ionospheric physics, solar physics, terrestrial magnetism,
meteorological physics, and weather forecasting. Considerable resources were
devoted to Project MOGUL which included numerous bomber and transport
aircraft and two oceangoing vessels. At one point the staff, exclusive of contrac-
tors, numbered over 100 persons. To accommodate this sensitive, high-priority
project, facilities of the secluded Oakhurst Field Station of Watson Laboratories
were used. Balloon operations associated with Project Mogul were conducted at
various locations throughout the United States and the Pacific, the latter in
reference to acoustical detection research associated with the Sandstone atomic
tests at Entiwetok Atoll in April and May 1948.7
