OFFICIAL RELEASE MATERIAL // U.S. DEPT. OF WAR

This document is an administrative, programmatic, or contractor-produced record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As part of the broader program record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, executed, or described at a particular point in time. This June 2009 Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) progress report summarizes contractor activities for the period June 1–30, 2009. The report addresses staffing growth, expansion into new facilities, progress on contracted technical papers, investigative activity based on information received via the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a BAASS deployment to Brazil, an update on “Project Northern Tier,” and continued review of UAP-related materials released by foreign governments. It also documents BAASS’s continued investment in field investigation capacity, foreign liaison-building, and UAP case acquisition, while recording BAASS’s proposal to reduce MUFON’s monthly stipend pending further performance review. Overall, the file reflects program activity, particularly in UAP reporting intake, foreign case investigation, and organizational expansion in support of those functions.
