This Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIA-08-1003-018), dated 30 March 2010, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency as part of its FY 2009 Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It reviews theoretical approaches to antigravity for aerospace propulsion, drawing on Newtonian physics, general relativity, cosmological dark energy and quantum vacuum effects. The report notes that no current technology can actively control gravity and that many concepts are far from practicable engineering.

A theoretical program to develop the physics and technology of trapping and storing negative energy will need to be supported, and such a program should be guided by the use of laboratory detectors such as the one proposed in the previous section. However, it is the opinion of the author that free-space negative energy sources appear to be a more desirable option for producing antigravity than stored negative energy. • Antigravity via Quantum Vacuum Zero-Point Fluctuation Force: Calloni et al.'s experimental proposal reviewed in Section IV-A should be funded and performed by a high quality laboratory. • Antigravity via Nonretarded Quantum Interatomic Dispersion Force: Pinto's experimental proposal reviewed in Section IV-B should be theoretically evaluated prior to funding an experiment. This proposal does contain enough rigor and credibility that it warrants a further look. 28 UNCLASSIFIED/ ,<EiOAt OEiEilil11J.k Wli&i sn•L¥
