Product Information

In the first season, Will goes missing, forcing local police chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour) to search for him alongside Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder). However, they don’t realise that Will has been transported to the Upside Down, an alternate dimension that was unleashed by the Hawkin’s National Laboratory during their secretive experiments. Within the UK and USA the price you see is the price you pay - you won't be charged any extra fees. Shielded from the test pad by the hill holding the antennas was a concrete bunker full of test gear and engineers, including General Atomics project manager Christopher Dusseault and Major “Spoon” Mattoon, a weapons testing expert and Big Safari’s project manager. Behind the bunker sat the Predator’s ground control station. In 1996, the INF Treaty between Washington and Moscow remained in force. The Predator’s success in Bosnia, however, was sparking new thinking about drones. For some, it was more exciting to imagine the technical possibilities than the possible legal limits.

There were legal hurdles to the project, no matter what weapon Jumper chose, including the 1987 INF Treaty, which was still in effect. A committee of government lawyers would have to decide whether an armed Predator fit the INF Treaty’s definition of a ground-launched cruise missile. If it did, Jumper’s “next logical step” could be a violation of a major international agreement. At 10:39 a.m., with the Predator’s engine running and its small pusher propeller gently turning, Mattoon decided it was time to launch a missile. In addition to opening this portal to the supernatural, the scientists also conduct experiments on humans, one of whom is Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). Eleven, her real name being Jane, possesses extraordinary abilities that they seek to use for their own devices, abilities such as telekinesis and telepathy. After escaping, she meets Mike’s group of friends and helps them to recover Will. Her tremendous power also makes her capable of facing the dangerous Demogorgon, a predatory creature from the Upside Down. Enter A New Dimension The show was created by the Duffer Brothers, who are known for their work on movies like Hidden Figures and television shows like Wayward Pines. The brothers grew up in North Carolina and were heavily influenced by Stephen King novels and movies like E.T.Curt Hawes and most others on the test team were oblivious to the intelligence agencies’ interest in what they were doing. Big Safari’s Hellfire test director Mattoon, however, knew who the armed Predator’s first customer was likely to be.

At the conclusion of Dehnert’s briefing, Jumper directed his staff to work with Big Safari to come up with a detailed plan for arming the Predator with the Hellfire. No one was more excited about Jumper’s decision than Air Force Major General Michael C. Kostelnik, who saw it as an opportunity to advance his Small Smart Bomb. He wanted to run Jumper’s project, but Bill Grimes, the director of the shadowy Air Force technology shop known as Big Safari, thought it belonged to his outfit, which after all was the Predator’s official System Program Office. Lieutenant General Robert F. Raggio, a three-star that both Grimes and Kostelnik answered to, sided with Grimes. In early June 2000, Raggio told Kostelnik to stand down and directed Big Safari to figure out the smartest way to meet Jumper’s goal.

On July 28, Big Safari received formal approval from Headquarters Air Force to do what Jumper wanted, but the instruction said no Predators were to be modified until the service got both Congressional approval and a ruling that arming the drone was acceptable under the INF Treaty. Under the circumstances, the Big Safari team did as much analysis and made as many modifications as they could. The Hellfire’s software would have to be modified too, to launch the missile properly from the Predator’s normal operating altitude of about 15,000 feet, for the AGM-114 was designed to be launched at tanks by helicopters flying 2,000 feet or less above the ground. Test firings—first from the ground, then in the air—would be necessary.
