Workable engineering models for long range forces and spacecraft dynamics are based on Newton laws and Maxwell equations. These models are currently in use but look incomplete, as for instance they fail to account for observed anomalies in interplanetary spacecraft trajectories. In addition Newton laws fail to predict gravitational waves. The most advanced relativistic models of gravity have been suggested for building engineering models, but most of them resulted in complex formulations of difficult interpretation. The questions are: can we develop a simple unified model for long range forces capable of describing the observed reality which could be easily integrated in high‐speed spacecraft design and trajectory calculation? Moreover, can we build models for wave propagation using a single formalism, thus integrating electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves? Can we adopt these models for studying High Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGW) in order to apply them to space travel, communications, imaging, cosmology, etc? To do that, it is clearly necessary to take into account all know observational results. On the other hand we must be free to adopt and elaborate on what has been recognized to be the most successful and better understood formulation for a long range force, that is Maxwell equations, and work towards a unified approach.
