Department of War · 4/6/10 · Las Vegas, Nevada · Document
DOW-UAP-D140, AAWSAP DIRD, High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Communications, April 2010 is indexed as a Department of War record with incident date 4/6/10 and location Las Vegas, Nevada. This document is a Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIRD), a technical reference format used by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to capture baseline knowledge on a specific topic for later analytic use. DIRDs are best understood as reference and synthesis products rather than as original research. It is one of 38 DIRDs produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP) between 2009 and 2011. Because AAWSAP s scope permitted a broad range of supporting topics, not every DIRD in the series directly concerns aerospace systems or future threat assessment. The following summary reflects the DIRD s scope and framing at the time of writing and should not be read as implying current validation of the concepts discussed. This DIRD examines whether high-frequency gravitational waves could serve as a communications medium while avoiding the attenuation that limits radio-frequency systems. The report surveys proposed transmitter and detector concepts, argues that gravitational-wave communications could support secure point-to-point links, timing standards, and interplanetary navigation, and gives particular attention to laboratory generator concepts and the Li-Baker detector as possible building blocks for such a system. The document makes clear, however, that the entire concept depends on capabilities that had not been demonstrated in practice, including laboratory-scale generation and reliable detection of usable high-frequency gravitational-wave signals. It is an exploratory systems-oriented review built around a future communications concept. Redactions have been made to protect the identity of eyewitnesses, the location of government facilities, or potentially sensitive information about military sites not related to UAP. No redactions have been made to any files released under President Trump's directive concerning information about the nature or existence of any encounter reported as a UAP or related phenomena.
Notable / anomalous element
- For example, if synchrotron light is needed to verify the Gertsenshtein effect and the Li-effect, a survey of existing national synchrotron light facilities should be part of the funded effort to find an appropriate host facility. (native PDF text, page 38)
- To avoid this, from one source the available energizing power could be divided equally between all the rings and fed to them up the stack or cyli nder at the speed of light. (native PDF text, page 15)
- This will be divided into four subtasks: DDl.1.1 Selection of material for the containment vessel: this choice will be made in light of the vessel's approximate size and shape, initially anticipated to be cyl indrical, overall approximately 2m diameter and 3m length. (native PDF text, page 50)
- For example, the change in polarization of a GW passing through a material object is discussed in Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler (1973): "In the real universe there are spacetime curvatures due not only to the energy of gravitational waves, but also more importantly to the material [objects and structures] content of the.
