A declassified Defense Intelligence Agency memo from October 2009 details the review of 26 technical reports produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications contract with Bigelow Aerospace. The reports cover topics including warp drives, wormholes, anti-gravity, and positron propulsion, with all reviews positive. Congress was expected to fund the program's next phase at $12 million.
A declassified DIA briefing details the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSAP) contract with Bigelow Aerospace, which funded research into unconventional technologies including antigravity, warp drives, and invisibility cloaking. The briefing notes BAASS's 'excellent' performance and the CIA's execution of option year 1.
A Defense Intelligence Reference Document released under FOIA provides a technical overview of aneutronic fusion propulsion, a concept that could reduce radiation hazards and enable deep space missions. The document, dated November 2010, is part of the DIA's Defense Futures series and includes speculation on research needs for missions to Alpha Centauri.
A declassified Defense Intelligence Agency reference document, produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program, analyzes acute and subacute physiological effects on humans exposed to anomalous aerospace systems. It describes cases of erythema, neurological symptoms, and radiation-like illness following near-field exposure to broadband RF/microwave radiation, and argues that such injuries are consistent with known and declassified technologies.
A declassified DIA reference document from 2010, produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program, explores using deuterium fusion and intense ion beams to propel spacecraft to the outer solar system and beyond, including a proposed 'Super Marx Generator' and the use of the Sun's gravitational lens at 550 AU.
A declassified Defense Intelligence Agency report from 2010 examines the possibility of using quantum entanglement for superluminal and retrocausal signaling, which could enable real-time control of space probes. The report, produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program, reviews EPR experiments and discusses theoretical scenarios for nonlocal communication.
A declassified Defense Intelligence Reference Document reviews novel propulsion concepts using plasmas and magnetohydrodynamics, noting potential for performance far beyond conventional technologies and applications for national defense, including hypersonic gliders and reentry vehicles.
A declassified Defense Intelligence Agency reference document, produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program, reviews theoretical approaches to antigravity, including general relativity and quantum vacuum effects, for potential aerospace propulsion.
A newly released 2009 Defense Intelligence Agency memo shows the agency rejected Senator Harry Reid's request to establish a restricted Special Access Program for the Advanced Aerospace Threat and Identification Program, stating that most deliverables were unclassified and that the information was not owned by the U.S. government.
A declassified Defense Intelligence Agency report from 2010 examines the physics of traversable wormholes and 'stargates,' concluding that such exotic spacetime geometries would require negative energy, but that the concept is not ruled out by general relativity.
A declassified Defense Intelligence Agency reference document from 2010 examines the theoretical feasibility of 'engineering the vacuum' for advanced space propulsion, discussing possibilities such as superluminal travel and time alteration within engineered spacetime regions.
A declassified Defense Intelligence Agency reference document, produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications program, details research into metamaterials that could enable sub-diffraction imaging and energy harvesting for space vehicles.
