I find it interesting that this blimp is called Hover Hammer. I was stationed in Ft Lewis and went to Iraq (OIF II 2003-2004) and as part of a RSTA (reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition) cavalry squadron, our unit had these "Prophet" SIGINT listening devices. They were humvees with telescoping antennas. The antennas would go up maybe 2-3 stories high and they look like this: https://www.army.mil/article/76623/Soldiers_train_on_upgraded_PROPHET_systems https://www.army.mil/article/76623/Soldiers_train_on_upgrade... The NSA operated a much larger immobile version called the "Prophet Hammer", which there doesn't appear to be much on the internet about: https://icwatch.wikileaks.org/search?company_facet=Prophet+Hammer https://icwatch.wikileaks.org/search?company_facet=Prophet+H... Given the similarity, I can't help but think that the NSA uses "HAMMER" for their main SIGINT collection hardware. Something to note when reading some of the released documents full of codewords and internal DoD lingo.
