From the source:Release of 2026-09-18 Incident: 9/22/08, Washington, D.C.. Released with redactions. This document is an administrative or programmatic record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As an administrative record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, or described at a particular point in time. This September 2008 solicitation/contract/order document serves as the original contract award instrument for AAWSAP work performed by Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, Inc. (BAASS), incorporating the contractor’s proposal by reference and translating the earlier Statement of Objectives (DOW-UAP-D110) into priced contract line items. The file breaks the base year into specific deliverable categories, including monthly status reports, program management plans for the 12 technical areas, research reports, a comprehensive integrated threat assessment, travel, and other direct costs, and corresponding option-year line items for follow-on performance.
