	Project HARP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ABM project eventually ended without delivering a working system, but Bull was convinced the rocket systems he had developed had potential and started looking for other ways to use the technology.
		The project was based on a flight range of the Seawell Airport in Barbados, from which shells were fired eastward toward the Atlantic Ocean.
		Saddam Hussein agreed to fund the project, but only if Bull helped with their efforts to re-design the re-entry vehicle of the SCUD missiles in order to improve range.

	Gun Launch for Orbital Vehicles
		Project HARP involved the use of large guns to fire instrumented ballistic projectiles and rockets to high altitudes.
		The HARP program was terminated in approximately the mid 1960s before the group's ultimate goal of launching an orbital vehicle was achieved.
		The HARP group was also involved in exploring the possibilities of launching liquid fueled rockets from the gun.

	A Brief History of the HARP Project
		Convinced the spin-offs from the HARP project would more then pay for their investment, the CDDP made a verbal promise for a grant of $500,000 with the understanding that it would take at least six months to work through the red tape.
		HARP was seen as a means of maintaining a hand in space defence research while publicly declaring that they were only contributing to a major research project that was studying long-range artillery ballistics.
		The HARP project was not as nearly advanced as the press was led to believe.

	Humbold Area River Project (HARP) Concept Master Plan
		HARP is meant to complement existing public agency efforts in achieving its mission.
		Plans for HARP are to clean up the old features and debris accumulated over the past as an adjunct to initially developing a one and one-half mile long open space system to tie together the community along the river corridor, enhancing pedestrian opportunities between recreational sites along the river.
		The project area has further been classified into four broad categories of land use which helps to identify preferred distribution of uses and activities adjacent to and peripheral to the river corridor.

	The Harp Gun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Conceived when the HARP project was under threat, it was a seven-inch diameter, two-stage solid propellnat vehicle that would be sabot-launched from the HARP 16 inch gun.
		Not long after the original HARP project ended the major assets of the project were acquired by the projects management, Dr. Gerald Bull in particular.
		The HARP gun, a converted 16 inch naval gun, was used during the 1960's to launch the Martlet series of rocket-launched space probes.

	LEAD Center - Project Harp
		The idea behind HARP is for current Purchase College students to go back to their former high schools and speak to the students about the college selection and application process.
		HARP aims to first give the volunteers from Purchase a sense of connection and purpose at the institution and second increase its ethnic minority populations.
		HARP is managed by the HARP Council- students affiliated with COPA- whose main tasks are to coordinate the three specific types of programs that HARP offers.

		The Cloud Harp is a meteo-electronic installation that converts real-time, thanks to an infra-red laser beam and a telescope sharing the same optics, the height, density and structure of clouds into sounds and musical sequences.
		The Harp is polyphonic : it can sing on many different voices simultaneously, each one being mapped on a specific altitude range.
		The Cloud Harp is also known as the Keplerian Harp, after the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, who was one of the first, with his "Music of the Spheres", to attempt the transposition of a natural phenomenon into music.

	7 inch HARP Gun
		It was not long after HARP began to explore the feasibility of gun-launched rockets that a rocket boosted vehicle was proposed for the 7 inch gun system.
		The 7 inch HARP gun system proved to be a valuable atmospheric research tool with some 60 operational flights over a 3 year period.
		Perhaps the least recognised gun system of the HARP program, the 7 inch HARP guns were poised to prove just how versatile and valuable a research tool they could have been when, in 1967, the HARP project abruptly ended leaving their true potential unfulfilled.

		HARP was an academic, nonmilitary research program, funded by McGill University in Montreal, where Bull had become a professor in the mechanical engineering department.
		Project HARP found a home on the island of Barbados, downrange of its much better-known (and vastly better-financed) rival, Cape Canaveral.
		After all, it was through peaceful research on Project HARP that Bull himself had learned techniques that he had later sold for profit on the arms market.

	YESCampaign \| 2002 - 2012
		The primary goal of Health of Adolescent Refugees Project (HARP) was to provide adolescent refugees with information needed to make good decisions about behavior affecting their health.
		The HARP project taught the young women about their life cycle and empowered them to become effective peer-educators to spread health awareness among refugee communities so as to build stronger, more self-reliant communities.
		Similar projects like HARP has great scope for replication and can be introduced in many down trodden areas rural areas and refugee settlements to promote health issues and standards.

	Hawaii Archaeological Research Project, Kohala - Goals
		One goal of HARP is to advance the application of new techniques and approaches in archaeology and anthropology that will lead to an improved understanding of how and why traditional Hawaiian society developed in the way it did.
		A second goal of HARP is to enlarge the scale at which archaeologists conduct their research, such as the recovery of site data and from which they develop their interpretations.
		A third goal of HARP is to compare, contrast, and integrate the findings of different disciplines as they pertain to the cultural and natural history of Kohala and the Hawaiian Islands.

	Heron Aerospace
		The HARP project extended roughly a decade from 1959 to 1969, as a means to explore the applications of large-bore gun technology to high-altitude atmospheric studies and space research.
		During the entire duration of the HARP project it received less than 10 million US dollars worth of support, and faced constant harsh criticism, and political opposition.
		Despite the constant, impressive progress of the HARP research team (or perhaps because of it), project support was terminated for no good reason -- leaving completed delivery systems unused (ready for low-earth orbit insertions), and leaving even more capable systems (that could implement almost any desired orbital insertion) unfinished.

	FHI - Programs for Adolescents: Reproductive Health Merit Badge for Scouts
		A two-year pilot project in Uganda, Zambia and Egypt, financed by the United Nations Population Fund, concluded in 2000, and an evaluation by FHI found the program was successful in improving young girls' use of health-care services and their self-esteem.
		For example, during HARP, girls ages seven to 10 were asked to draw pictures of the human body, while girls ages 15 and older were asked to draw illustrations of maternal-child health.
		Although HARP was designed exclusively for girls, an important lesson learned was the need to develop activities for adolescent boys.

	Summary: Hawai'i Archaeological Research Project
		The Hawai'i Archaeological Research Project (HARP) is a long term, collaborative program of field, archival, and computer based investigations on the historical development of traditional Hawaiian society, and the various forms that it expressed over time and in different localities.
		The Kohala Project is co-directed by Thegn N. Ladefoged (University of Auckland) and Michael W. Graves (University of Hawai'i at Manoa).
		The Kohala portion of this project grew out of a research review of dry land agriculture in Hawai'i by Graves and Ladefoged (1991) and then took its current form when a map of the dry land field system of North Kohala was discovered at U.H. Manoa.

	Gun man meets gunman \| thebulletin.org
		At a time when Western governments are preoccupied with the question of how to keep ex-Soviet weapons scientists and engineers from hiring out their talents to Third World dictators, Bull's story offers a chilling reminder of how much damage one determined weapons expert can do to the cause of nonproliferation.
		The HARP project was originally designed to fulfill his "dream" of constructing massive guns with the capacity to launch projectiles into space, but its main spin-offs were more mundane--long-range howitzers with specially built shells able to outdistance anything else available on the world market.
		Adams argues that Bull's resentment of the Canadian and American governments, for not giving him the kind of support he felt HARP deserved, was an important motivating factor in his turn toward less reputable clients--the apartheid government in South Africa, the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, and Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq.
