Any guesses on the NASA pic?

Weather control?
Space weapons?

Looks to me like the ENTERPRISE flight test vehicle, which IIRC got towed (as part of a Toyota truck commercial) to some location outside of LA where it got turned into a museum display.

Primary purpose of the bird was to validate the unpowered-glide-to-landing phase of Shuttle missions, which included installation of ejection seats in the pilot/copilot stations.

Other than those seats, I don't recall anything even faintly related to advanced weapons/tactics got installed.

In fact, the most "advanced" thing about the vehicle was calling it ENTERPRISE as a PR gesture to the Star Trek fans.
