This Defense Intelligence Agency reference document is dated 30 March 2010. The Defense Warning Office prepared it under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program. It compares lone maverick inventors with corporate inventors who work in think tanks and other large organizations, focusing on unconventional energy and propulsion, including antigravity. It sorts inventors into five types. It concludes that formally trained mavericks (Types 3 and 4) are the most likely source of the next innovations. Untrained inventors are expected to contribute nothing substantial.
From the source:Release of 2026-09-18 Incident: 3/30/10, Las Vegas, Nevada. Released with redactions. 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 compares lone “maverick” inventors with researchers working inside larger organizations in order to ask where major future breakthroughs are most likely to come from, especially in unconventional energy and propulsion. It concludes that the strongest candidates are technically trained, relatively independent, and flexible researchers working with some freedom from institutional constraint. Because that preferred profile closely resembles the kind of researcher who appears to have authored or shaped much of the broader AAWSAP DIRD effort, the document reflects a notable methodological circularity, validating the program’s operational model rather than neutrally assessing the innovation ecosystem.
UNCLASSIFIED/} POR OPPlelAL l:t9! 8HLY 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, wh ich 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 sim il ar 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. 1 http ://peswiki.com/index.php/Main_Page, accessed Jan 12, 2009 2 http ://www.a mericanantigravlty.com/, accessed Jan 13, 2009 3 http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/worklife/Ol/12/entrepreneur.psychology/index.html, accessed Jan 12, 2009 4 http://www.ilsb.tuwien .ac.at/~tajmar/, accessed Jan 14, 2009 5 Cook, N., The Hunt for Zero Point, Century/Random House, London, 2001 6 Tutt, K., The Search for Free Energy, Simon and Schuster, London, 2001 7 http ://www.flynnresearch.net/, accessed Jan 12, 2009 6 Chiang, P.R., Smith, G.A., et al "An Antiproton Driver for Internal Confinement Fusion Propulsion," Kammash, T.
