Greetings Mlchlel and thank you once again for your assistance ... One more e-mail to follow (three in total due to size
limitations).
Per your guidance, please find the attached three .mpH files fo r your review. Please note, although the files are
UNCLASSIFIED, they are being sent via SIPR in the spirit of extra precaution. No locatlonal data is provided In any of the
files and therefore there should be no classification issues.
STRATEGIC ISSUE: Unmilnned lerial vehicles (balloons, commercial UAVs, private drones such as quadcopters, etc)
continue to pose a potential threat to DoD facilities, equipment, and location. Army, Navy, and Air Force have. 1I
acknowledged the potential threat by UAS' to 000 equities but no single UNCLASSIFIED repository exists to share this
Information across all stakeholders.
PURPOSE: Our collective purpose is to eventually establish an UNCLASSIFIED database or "Community of Interest' of
related signature dltl to be accessible by stakeholders such iIS OIA, the Navy, Defense Industry partners, and perhaps
even State, Local & Tribal authorities to catalog and Identify specific UAS threats to national security and/or DoD
equities. By creltine a virtual library to catalog and analyze each event, our hope will be to better understand the
capabilities, and ultimately vulnerabilities of these systems.
Plene I.t me know If I can assist any further with this request.
Sincerest Reaards,
Lue
