Defense Intelligence Reference Document Antigravity For Aerospace Applications

Defense Intelligence Agency · 44 pages · text from the file's own layer

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.

geometries, which would provide an understanding of the negative energy
densities present in some regions in these geometries.
- Trapping and Storing Negative Energy: Ford and Roman (Reference 20) have
only superficially addressed this topic, and there is very little technical literature
that addresses it fully. 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.
