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.
