AAWSAP Defense Intelligence Reference Documents (38 DIRDs)
Represents the formal DoD baseline assessing theoretical and fringe physics for breakthrough propulsion.
01 Definition
02 Detailed_Analysis
Commissioned by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) between 2008 and 2010 through the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP) and contracted via Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), the 38 Defense Intelligence Reference Documents (DIRDs) served as baseline horizon scans for future disruptive aerospace technologies. Authored by prominent physicists and engineers (including Hal Puthoff, Eric Davis, and George Miley), topics ranged from warp drives, traversable wormholes, and spacetime metric engineering to inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion, antimatter propulsion, and metamaterials.
03 Key_Facts

Purpose: AAWSAP 38 DIRDs — Defense Intelligence Reference Documents Category: Policy & Disclosure This node documents AAWSAP 38 DIRDs, a policy or disclosure milestone. It connects to 16 entities, tracing the political and institutional dimensions of UAP transparency efforts.
Key Relationships
- ← July 2023 Hearing (assessment): DIA DIRD 'Advanced Space Propulsion Based on Vacuum (Spacetime Metric) Engineering' entered into hearing record. Puthoff authored DIRDs under AAWSAP. Congress now has theoretical framework for UAP propulsion.
- ← Davis AFRL 2004 (assessment): Davis and Puthoff both AAWSAP. Davis 2004 AFRL propulsion study + Puthoff AAWSAP DIRDs (38 DIA studies including IEC fusion). Both researching breakthrough propulsion/physics for government.
- ← Bigelow (NIDS/BAASS) (assessment): BAASS executed AAWSAP contract. Puthoff + Davis authored DIRDs under AAWSAP. NIDS science board included DOE, Navy nuclear, Apollo astronauts. Bigelow funded the infrastructure.
- ← Alexander (ATP/NIDS) (assessment): Alexander = founding board member International Remote Viewer's Association. Puthoff = SRI remote viewing (STAR GATE). Both in psi research network. Both NIDS/AAWSAP network.
- ← Vallée (Control System) (assessment): Both Vallée and Puthoff in AAWSAP network. Both worked with DIA on UAP. Puthoff authored DIRDs, Vallée searched for UAP technologies. Both Sol Foundation network.
- ← Kona Blue (AARO) (assessment): Kona Blue traced to AAWSAP/AATIP (DIA 2009-2012). Puthoff + Davis authored DIRDs under AAWSAP. Kona Blue was follow-on to continue AAWSAP's work at DHS.

Batches 8-9 Update (2026-08-18): Complete De-Anonymization + FY10 Accounting + 2035 Floor
All 38 authors de-anonymized (R199): the BAASS 38-item "List of Attachments" cross-walked against all 37 released scans (front-matter OCR of every cover) de-anonymizes every (b)(6) author box. 26 named individuals; weaponization-relevant subset: Wells (pulsed-power/HPM), Albertine (Navy HEL), Winterberg/Miley (nuclear), Macheret/Shvets (plasma), Kit Green (CIA remote-viewing PM), Czysz (Wright-Patt). Title-sanitization map: weapon framing stripped between inventory and release ("Pulse-Power-Based Weaponry" → "…Microwave Source Technology"); the two CapNet-withheld items (inv #12/#15) are the only covers with no DIA number printed. Two-batch chronology: FY09 batch (ICOD 1 Dec 2009) + FY10 "Defense Futures" batch (ICOD Jul 2010–Jan 2011, post-dating contract closeout).
DIRD #3 identity (R185/R193): the 37-page "James Wells, JW Enterprises, 28 January 2010" deliverable IS released DIRD #3 (DIA-08-0912-005, released via FOIA-0159-2018, 25 Mar 2022). Content: open-literature HPM survey (vircator, MILO, relativistic BWO/RKA, FCG/flux-compression, UWB impulse sources, PCSS switching, TEM/IRA antennas) — zero citations to the 1960s cluster; the Wells↔1960s link is institutional (R192), not bibliographic.
FY10 classified supplements accounted (R203): CLIN 1003 = 12 technical reports due Aug 2010; DIA memo U-10-2552 (2010-12-01): twelve delivered = 11 released Defense Futures DIRDs + 1 SECRET//NOFORN Albertine HEL twin. The other 3-5 planned supplements have ZERO trace across five channels (FOIA-0159-2018, MuckRock FOIA-0238-2019, DIA reading room, PURSUE R01-R05, ISCAP). DIRD register gap analysis (R208): 36 sandwiched gaps; FY10 gaps (series 1101-002..022, 1102-006) align with the calibrated ICOD→production-code lag = probable numbered hiding place.
2035 floor (R209/R213): AAWSAP-era auto-declassification is UNOPPOSED by construction — no §3.3(b) exemption filings exist anywhere (Federal Register sweep 1994-2026) and the filing window does not open until 31 Dec 2030. Floor: 31 Dec 2035.
Campaign B Update (R1009-R1010)
Soviet Thread-3 Four-Domain Mapping: The 38 DIRDs replicate the Soviet Thread-3 program's four domains exactly:
- Non-traditional propulsion → Warp Drive, Antigravity, Negative Mass Propulsion DIRDs
- Rotational gravitation → Superconductors in Gravity Research DIRD
- Field-matter interaction → Field Effects on Biological Tissues DIRD
- Biological effects → Field Effects on Biological Tissues DIRD
Key Authors:
- Hal Puthoff: vacuum energy, spacetime engineering
- Eric Davis: 6 DIRDs (most of any author)
- Authors asked to extrapolate technology to 2050 and compare with UAP capabilities
