DARPA 's AtmoSense program aims to use the Earth 's atmosphere as a massive sensor.

The goal of the program is to determine whether acoustic and electromagnetic waves propagating through the atmosphere could allow the US military to detect and locate major events and disturbances, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, across the planet.

The idea is to eventually hone in on the location of illicit underground explosions or "other national security-relevant events".
