Defense Intelligence Reference Document Maverick Inventor Versus Corporate Inventor

Defense Intelligence Agency · 19 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, dated 30 March 2010 and produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program, compares lone maverick inventors with corporate inventors working in large organizations. It focuses on unconventional energy and propulsion, including free energy and antigravity claims. It sorts inventors into five types. It concludes that trained maverick inventors (Types 3 and 4) are the most likely source of the next innovations, and that untrained inventors deserve only casual watching.

Type 5 inventors are not as motivated as their Type 1 to 4 counterparts in these areas
of innovation, possibly owing to their increased sensitivity to the difficulty of the task.
Business sense is higher than Types 1 to 4, but the extent to which this impacts their
ability to innovate is not clear. They are more constrained insofar as bureaucracy is
concerned, which tends to hamper carrying out "blue-sky" innovations.
Finally, the corporate inventor scores high in all areas except motivation, business
acumen, and flexibility. As noted previously, the corporate inventor suffers from being
employed in an agency that, except for the university, does not generally promote the
types of innovations addressed in this paper. In many cases, university innovators are
hidebound by dogma that prevents them from even entertaining the possibility.
Therefore, as far as maverick inventors are concerned, Types 3 and 4 appear to be the
best choice regarding where to expect the next innovations to arise and should be
carefully selected based on criteria similar perhaps to those used above. Millis considers
the same scenario (Reference 32) when he states that the innovators he seeks are
published, credible risk-takers with vision. They should be monitored and encouraged
by means of financial and other incentives to pursue these difficult areas of innovation.
If the corporate inventor, and especially the university-based inventor, could be
motivated and granted sufficient flexibility, he would be an excellent candidate to carry
out the required innovations in energy and propulsion and rival Types 3 and 4 for
innovation capacity.
Type 5 inventors are the next best possibility, with Types 1 and 2 merely being watched
casually, as no substantial innovation is expected to arise from these quarters.
