BALTIMORE, Md. - The United States is testing an airship over Baltimore. This airship are part of the Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System (JLENS).

By February, two helium-filled airships will be tethered to concrete pads four miles apart. The airships carry a radar unit and will be positioned at an altitude of 10,000 feet. At the altitude, radar will scan in a 340-mile radius, roughly from Norfolk, Virginia, to upstate New York. The airships will not carry weapons.

The test is expected to run for three years.
