AARO emerged from Congressional and Departmental recognition that UAP present 
complex hazards and threats across service, regional, and domain boundaries.

UAP are sources of anomalous 
spaceborne, airborne, 
seaborne, or transmedium 
observations that are not 
yet attributable to known 
actors or causes

our mission
minimize technical and intelligence surprise, by 
synchronizing scientific, intelligence, and 
operational detection, identification, attribution, 
and mitigation of unidentified, anomalous objects 
in the vicinity of national security areas
our vision
unidentified, anomalous objects are effectively and 
efficiently detected, tracked, analyzed, and 
managed by way of normalized DoD, IC, and civil 
business practices; by adherence to the highest 
scientific and intelligence-tradecraft standards; and 
with greater transparency and shared awareness
AARO is a uniquely-capable, Defense Department organization that integrates 
operational, scientific, and intelligence capabilities to resolve UAP.
key scientific and intelligence questions
Physical, technical, behavioral, and contextual 
characteristics of phenomena, their composition, and 
their movement
Capabilities, limitations, and vulnerabilities of 
phenomena and any assessed technological gap 
between phenomena and the United States
Indications and characteristics of hazards, risks and/or 
threats by phenomena to the United States, its people, 
its equities, and/or its instruments of national power
Attribution of phenomena to natural and/or artificial 
sources
Indications of foreign observation of and reaction to 
phenomena
The disposition of observed phenomena

US Territory & Operating Areas
DoD observations and reporting of 
UAP most often in the vicinity of US 
military facilities and operating areas
Threats to the immediate safety of US 
citizens and Government facilities, 
across domains, is priority
Safety and security risks of UAP 
heighten US Government awareness 
and drives research and mitigation 
efforts
 Key partners and stakeholders include 
 DoD, IC, DoJ, NASA, FAA
US Strategic Capabilities
Reporting on UAP proximity to 
strategic capabilities and critical 
infrastructure primarily historical; 
analysis limited by information currency 
and source reliability
Consequence of UAP in the vicinity of 
strategic capabilities is high, potentially 
threatening strategic deterrence and 
safety of civil society
DoD strengthening observations and 
reporting capabilities near US strategic 
capabilities and critical infrastructure
 Key partners and stakeholders include 
 DoD, IC, DoE and NNSA, DoJ, DHS
The potentially ubiquitous presence of UAP defines the national-security
implications and drives the broad range of stakeholders and demand for 
rigorous scientific understanding of and intelligence on phenomena
