Official Description

This document is an administrative or programmatic record related to the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)-administered program active from 2008 to 2012. AAWSAP’s official scope of work identified 12 technical research areas relating to potential aerospace threats over a time horizon of more than 40 years. As an administrative record, the file documents how AAWSAP was scoped, organized, tasked, funded, or described at a particular point in time. This September 2009 contract modification formally extends the Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) contract through 30 September 2009, revises the option-year dates to run from 1 October 2009 through 30 September 2010, and exercises the first option year subject to the availability of appropriated funds. The document carries forward the same major deliverable categories as the original contract.

Key Findings

  • →Contract HHM402-08-C-0072 with Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) LLC was modified to extend performance through 30 September 2009 and exercise Option Year 1 from 1 October 2009 to 30 September 2010.
  • →The contract schedule includes six line items totaling approximately $25 million for the option year, covering monthly status reports ($3.24M), project management plans ($9.96M), research reports ($6M), a Comprehensive Integrated Threat Assessment ($460,800), travel ($115,000), and other direct costs ($5.22M).
  • →The deliverables reference tasks 3.a.1 through 3.a.12, consistent with AAWSAP's 12 identified technical research areas.
  • →Funds were not presently available at time of modification; government obligation was contingent upon availability of appropriated funds.
  • →The issuing office is identified as Virginia Contracting Activity (code HHQ402) at Bolling AFB, a known DIA contracting front.

This is a contract modification document (P00001) dated September 2, 2009, modifying contract HHM402-08-C-0072 between the Virginia Contracting Activity (a DIA front organization at Bolling AFB) and Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS), LLC. The modification extends the performance period, revises option-year dates to October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010, and exercises the first option year subject to availability of funds. The document is administrative in nature, detailing contract line items and associated dollar amounts for deliverables including monthly status reports, project management plans, research reports, and a Comprehensive Integrated Threat Assessment.

Analyst Notes

This is a purely administrative contract modification document with no UAP incident content. Its significance is contextual — it documents the funding mechanism and deliverable structure for AAWSAP/BAASS — but contains no sighting reports, sensor data, or analytical findings about UAP phenomena.
