Whilst, the majority of the SDI programs have now been put on the ice, some recent information provides somewhat more in depth details concerning their existence, and operational capabilities in a different military/intelligence mode. Such official information equally raise the question of their possible deployment and use versus some special categories of the UTRs, UERs, and in particular, their use in the scenarios categorised as; "Warning and verification of Hostile Space Events", subsection "01-Anomalous Event". Pentagon's Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) Policy, qualifies the deployment and the use of such weapons as part of the "Electronic Warfare": "As directed-energy weapons (high power lasers, high/low power radio frequency (RF), and particle beams are fielded, the destructive element of Electronic Attack will extend from employment of ARMs [Anti-radiation missiles-author] to the direct use of electromagnetic or directed energy in target destructions". Dennis C. Blair, Vice Admiral, USN, Director of Joint Chiefs, in his "Secret" classified instruction, sets out the rules of engagement, as well as the pertinent policy for the use of such weapons. "EA [Electronic Attack] focuses on the offensive use of electromagnetic energy or DE [Directed Energy] to attack enemy combat capability". Such attack is coupled "with the destructive capabilities of anti radiation missiles ARM and DE [Directed-energy] weapon systems". Already USN's A-3 [Alternative - 3] satellites possess this capabilities. "Coordination of EW Operations; A Joint Force Command's delegation of control over EW operations to a component or lower echelon does not eliminate the requirement for joint or combined coordination of EW operations. Effective employment of EW requires that the associated functions be performed at the highest level of control within the Combined Joint Task Force organization". Another vital function of EW is to provide Electronic Surveillance (ES) using "electromagnetic spectrum in direct support of an operational commander's electromagnetic information". In other words to gather intelligence information by menas of ELINT (Electronic Intelligence), IRINT (Infrared intelligence), as well as LASINT (Laser Intelligence). In turn, these manner of intelligence "support immediate decision making for employment of EW or other tactical actions". "US military commands are authorised to employ destructive and nondestructive EW". in the case of DE warfare (DEW), "systems will be employed consistent with the legal rights and obligations of the US under domestic and international law". Commander in Chiefs [CINCs] will request the Joint Chiefs of Staffs approval to employ tactical DEW". Nevertheless, the Operational Security OPSEC guidance in the deployment of any phases of EW "must agree with DCI [Director of Central Intelligence] policy and be coordinated with the Director, NSA/Chief, CSS". DIA, equally, plays a major role in monitoring, analysing and the assessment of the intelligence gathered via EW activities, "particularly in those projects with unusual and long-term intelligence requirements". In response to my request for information gathered by NSA/CSS via any of EW intelligence gathering menas,; telemetry, IRINT, LASINT, ELINT, on the "anomalous events", I received a registered-recorded envelope from NSA, well-sealed, return receipt required, asking for the dates of specific events for which the initial request was filed. Equally, reports filed under Communications Instructions reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings (CIRVIS), on International Urgency Signal-PAN, and for the ground relay of airborne reports or post-landing reports, using FLASH precedence, while AF/XOOO [Air Force Operations Group] is the OPR for CIRVIS reporting instructions, nevertheless, it is not the principal addressee, and the reports are submitted to NORAD. In brief, no single document on the topic of UFOs which does include vital and/or tactical intelligence, gathered by vast EW sources, are available to public researchers. Armen Victorian
