THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ALL-DOMAIN ANOMALY RESOLUTION OFFICE

Report on the Historical Record of U.S. Government Involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Volume I

February 2024

Establishment of the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group

Today, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, in close collaboration with the Director of National Intelligence, directed the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security to establish within the Office of the USD(I&S) the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) as the successor to the U.S. Navy’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force. The AOIMSG will synchronize efforts across the Department and the broader U.S. government to detect, identify and attribute objects of interests in Special Use Airspace (SUA), and to assess and mitigate any associated threats to safety of flight and national security. To provide oversight of the AOIMSG, the Deputy Secretary also directed the USD(I&S) to lead an Airborne Object Identification and Management Executive Council (AOIMEXEC) to be comprised of DoD and Intelligence Community membership, and to offer a venue for U.S. government interagency representation.

Incursions by any airborne object into our SUA pose safety of flight and operations security concerns, and may pose national security challenges. DOD takes reports of incursions – by any airborne object, identified or unidentified – very seriously, and investigates each one. This decision is the result of planning efforts and collaboration conducted by OUSD(I&S) and other DoD elements at the direction of Deputy Secretary Hicks, to address the challenges associated with assessing UAP occurring on or near DOD training ranges and installations highlighted in the DNI preliminary assessment report submitted to Congress in June 2021. The report also identified the need to make improvements in processes, policies, technologies, and training to improve our ability to understand UAP.

In coming weeks, the Department will issue implementing guidance, which will contain further details on the AOIMSG Director, organizational structure, authorities, and resourcing.

Executive Summary

更多

In June 2020, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence unveiled

the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) at the Office

of Naval Intelligence—a successor to the Advanced Aerospace Threat

Identification Program (AATIP). This paper dives down the rabbit hole

with Defense Department insiders, scientists, and declassified material to

find answers to a host of questions: Are mystery craft near-peer adversary

platforms or exotic US platforms? What is the technology behind them?

What kind of threat do they pose? What are the geostrategic implications?

And what are we not being told?

Franc Milburn is a strategic and operational advisor. A former intelligence officer, he is an alumnus

of Sandhurst and the London School of Economics. He has previously written for the Middle East

Economic Survey, the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, and the Institute for National

Security Studies at Tel Aviv University. @FrancMilburn
