04 Deep_Dive_Intelligence
The JASON 25-02 PULSED POWER study was identified in the R302 custodian mechanism map and R310 un-mapped custodian hunt. JASON is an independent scientific advisory group that advises the US government on defense and technology issues, administered by MITRE. The study's existence confirms that pulsed power — the technology category that includes MARAUDER's compact toroid acceleration, Shiva Star's MJ-class capacitor bank, and the AFRL DPF 2006 paper's 'pulsed-train plasmoid weapons' — remains an active classified research topic in 2025. The $2.54M award value is consistent with a JASON summer study plus follow-on analysis. The specific content of the study is classified.
