>Jason Group
Jason-a secretive group of Cold War science advisers-is fighting to survive in the 21st century
By Ann FinkbeinerJun. 27, 2019 , 1:30 PM
After 59 years of service, Jason, the famed science advisory group, was being fired, and it didn't know why. On 29 March, the exclusive and shadowy group of some 65 scientists received a letter from the Department of Defense (DOD) saying it had just over a month to pack up its files and wind down its affairs. "It was a total shock," said Ellen Williams, Jason's vice chair and a physicist at the University of Maryland in College Park. "I had no idea what the heck was going on."
The letter terminated Jason's contract with DOD's Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USDR&E) in Arlington, Virginia, which was Jason's contractual home-the conduit through which it was paid for all of its government work. So, in effect, the letter killed off all of Jason's work for defense and nondefense agencies alike.
Just days away was the group's spring meeting in Washington, D.C., where members and government sponsors would refine the dozen or so problems Jason would tackle in San Diego, California, during members' summer leave from their campuses and labs. Jason had to keep functioning, even as it prepared to die. It told sponsors it was still planning to do the studies, and advised members to keep their calendars open but not sign summer leases. It made plans for an attenuated spring meeting reception: not the usual dinner, but meatball and spinach-feta appetizers and plastic cups at the cash bar.

It made plans for an attenuated spring meeting reception: not the usual dinner, but meatball and spinach-feta appetizers and plastic cups at the cash bar.
Meanwhile, members hurriedly wrote emails and made urgent phone calls, looking for other contractual homes. Then, on 25 April, the night before the reception, came a reprieve. Williams and Jason's chair, Russell Hemley, a materials chemist at the University of Illinois in Chicago, heard from the Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which for decades had commissioned Jason to study the health of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. Now, NNSA said it couldn't afford a gap in its studies and pledged to pick up the Jason contract, at least until January 2020.
At the reception, in an auditorium at MITRE Corporation, Jason's administrator in McLean, Virginia, Jason members appeared relieved by NNSA's decision, although what went wrong at DOD was unclear. "The department remains committed to seeking independent technical advice and review," a USDR&E spokesperson said in a statement. "This change is in keeping with this commitment while making the most economic sense for the department." Mike Griffin, a former NASA administrator who heads USDR&E, declined to speak to Science about the dismissal.

Seems DOD dropped them with 65 scientists let go in 2019. Remember? Q covered the beginning of this after taking out the Silk Road operators. Lifted window/powder residue/Chyna. Flashbang out.
They've since picked up work elsewhere.
This is a neat subject regarding their work on Census oversight to prevent mass organized fraud as well.

Q Research General #13657: Evil and corruption @ highest levels
SPECIAL REPORT: The Pentagon Could Put Directed Energy Weapons in Space
https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2019/4/25/special-report-the-pentagon-could-put-directed-energy-weapons-in-space
While much attention has been focused on renewed U.S. interest in potentially deploying space-based interceptors, another concept that emerged from President Ronald Reagan's
Strategic Defense Initiative in the 1980s is also being reexamined: putting lasers or neutral particle beams in space to shoot down enemy missiles.
"Directed energy to me is where we want to go in the long run," Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Mike Griffin said in September during a roundtable on Capitol Hill.
"We will be pushing advances in directed energy forward for the next few years."
President Donald Trump's fiscal year 2020 budget request for the Missile Defense Agency includes $304 million for technology maturation initiatives involving these types of technologies.
"Working with national laboratories and industry, MDA will address laser scaling by investing in the laser component technology required to demonstrate efficient electric lasers," budget
documents said. The agency plans to conduct component demonstrations to prove out laser capability.
The funding proposal also includes money for a neutral particle beam effort which will "design, develop and conduct a feasibility demonstration for a space-based directed energy intercept
layer," the documents said. "These efforts will leverage past and current work on particle beam and related enabling technologies as well as laser scaling, pointing and stability to provide
a component technology to improve the cost-benefit and size, weight and power for an operational system."
A future system of this kind would offer new "kill options" for the nation's ballistic missile defense architecture and add another layer of protection for the homeland, the documents said.
Laser weapons use amplified beams of light to attack targets.
A neutral particle beam weapon would fire atomic particles at near-light speeds towards enemy platforms. The technology can be traced back to the Strategic Defense Initiative, Missile
Defense Agency Deputy Director Rear Adm. Jon Hill noted.
"We think it's got a lot of promise for the missile defense mission, and so our focus in FY '20 is to lay the foundation to get to an on-orbit demo" by 2023, he said during a briefing with
reporters at the Pentagon when the budget proposal was rolled out.
The agency plans to conduct ground tests and demonstrations of neutral particle beam technologies with a focus on feasibility and maturing the technologies before they are put into space,
Hill said.
Directed energy weapons would offer several benefits relative to kinetic interceptors, said Todd Harrison, director of the aerospace security project at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies.
"You don't have to worry about the time of flight ... because the energy beam is going to travel at the speed of light," he explained. "That gives you more time to identify a target and make
the decision, and then fire; whereas with the kinetic interceptor you've got to fire very quickly because you have to take into account how long it's going to take for your interceptor to fly
towards the missile."
Another advantage is that they could be reused to fire as many shots as their power systems would allow, he noted.
Fewer satellites would be required for missile defense if they were armed with directed energy weapons rather than kinetic interceptors, although the per system cost would likely be higher,
he said.
Still fewer satellites would be needed if mirrors could be incorporated into the architecture, an idea which has been floated before, he noted. "With that you could only have a handful of
really powerful lasers scattered around in orbit and then have more mirrors in other places that would reflect the light towards a missile" and destroy it.
But developing systems that could be used effectively in space is no easy task.
"You've got to have the powerful laser, you've got to miniaturize it, and then you have to have the power source on your satellite," Harrison said. "All of those things are technical
challenges."
Employing mirrors would be another hurdle. "Obviously you don't want it jittering or moving around and it has to be very precisely positioned" to hit the target, he added.
Directed energy technology is also not as mature as kinetic interceptor technology, he noted. "There's a lot of work that still needs to be done if those systems are going to be fielded."
But Griffin expressed confidence that an effective system could be created.
"I believe ... we can develop space power systems that will provide what we need, but belief is an opinion held without benefit of facts," he said. "It's our job to go out and do the experiments
and the prototyping to generate those facts."

>>>9893936 Defense Logistics: Harker takes over as acting Pentagon comptroller. TRUE audit with REAL accountability?
Related, re Pentagon:
Pentagon's top tech experts, Griffin and Porter, resign
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon's top two technology experts have submitted their resignations.
Mike Griffin, who became the Defense Department's first undersecretary of research and engineering in early 2018, and his deputy Lisa Porter have both submitted their resignations, a defense official confirmed to Defense News. The two will be exiting the building July 10.
In a letter to R&E staff, Griffin and Porter wrote that "a private-sector opportunity has presented itself to us, offering an opportunity we have decided to pursue together."
"It has been a pleasure leading this great team over the past few years. We greatly appreciate your hard work, diligence, integrity, and devotion to technical excellence and technical truth in furtherance of the R&E mission," the duo wrote. "We wish you all the very best."
They become the third and fourth officials to submit resignations in the last week. On June 16, Elaine McCusker, the department's acting comptroller, submitted her resignation, followed two days later by Kathryn Wheelbarger, the acting assistant defense secretary for international security affairs.
News of Griffin and Porter's resignations were first reported by Inside Defense.
In his role as R&E head, Griffin had the lead on developing new capabilities for the department, such as hypersonic weapons, directed energy and a variety of space-based programs. Included in his portfolio were the Missile Defense Agency and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
Porter, who previously was executive vice president and director of In-Q-Tel Labs, served as Griffin's deputy from 2018 onward. Although highly respected, she kept a low profile, largely avoiding media engagements during her time in office.
A former NASA head under President George W. Bush, Griffin entered the Department of Defense with a reputation as an innovative thinker, but also as someone who could be prickly with others. In his first public speech after taking office, he infamously bragged that he answered to no one but the secretary and deputy secretary of defense - a statement that rankled members of Congress.
At the DoD, Griffin showed a strong personality that clashed with various service-level executives, with the most public fight coming with former Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson. The news emerged a day after the House Armed Services Committee recommended removing the Missile Defense Agency from under Griffin's control.
Members of Congress have expressed frustration with Griffin's decision to cancel the Redesigned Kill Vehicle. Alaska Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan said the move would mean 20 missile silos at Fort Greeley will be empty for a decade, and meant Griffin was out of step with the president.
"Heck, if you were at the Pentagon when the president was announcing the Missile Defense Review, he specifically mentioned these silos at Fort Greeley. I'm not even sure he knows about the fact that one of his lower-level undersecretaries decided on his own to dig 20 holes and not put anything in there for at least 10 years," Sullivan, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told Defense News last month. "That just makes no sense. None. Zero."
Griffin himself may have hinted that his time at the building is coming to a close in a May 20 speech, which he opened by noting that being a "presidential appointee, I think most of you know, is literally at the pleasure of the administration. So, we never know for employment is until tomorrow or next year or anything in between.
"But, that's okay. You don't you don't take these jobs unless you understand that. This is my third time in that arena," he said.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned for updates.

Pentagon's top technology officials resign
BY ELLEN MITCHELL - 06/23/20 04:28 PM EDT
The Pentagon's top technology official and his deputy are resigning next month, a Defense Department official confirmed on Tuesday.
Mike Griffin, the Pentagon's first undersecretary of research and engineering, and his deputy, Lisa Porter, will leave July 10, the official said.
The resignations were first reported by Inside Defense.
Griffin, who took on the role in early 2018, and Porter said in a letter to staff that "a private-sector opportunity has presented itself to us, offering an opportunity we have decided to pursue together," Defense News reported.
"It has been a pleasure leading this great team over the past few years. We greatly appreciate your hard work, diligence, integrity, and devotion to technical excellence and technical truth in furtherance of the R&E mission," the two wrote, according to the outlet. "We wish you all the very best."
The two are the third and fourth officials to announce their resignation in the last week.
Kathryn Wheelbarger, the acting assistant Defense secretary for international security affairs, submitted her resignation on June 17, five days after President Trump pulled her name as the intended nominee to be deputy under secretary of Defense for intelligence.
And Elaine McCusker, the Pentagon's acting comptroller who questioned the Trump administration for its withholding of aid to Ukraine last year, day earlier had submitted her resignation after the White House in early March pulled her nomination for the official comptroller role.

DOD's top scientist shoots down airborne lasers for missile defense
Could lasers aboard aircraft like the F-35 shoot down enemy missiles as they launch? The Pentagon has batted around the idea for decades. But on Wednesday, its top scientists said he doesn't think it's practical, and said the Defense Department will put its research resources elsewhere.
"I want to put an end to that discussion. We're not investing in airborne platforms for shooting down adversary missiles" with directed energy, said Mike Griffin, defense undersecretary for research and engineering.
The idea of mounting a laser or other directed-energy weapon on a fighter jet or drone for missile defense has surfaced and disappeared various times. Early last year, it resurfaced in the 2019 Missile Defense Review, the bible for U.S. missile defense. "Developing scalable, efficient, and compact high energy laser technology, and integrating it onto an airborne platform holds the potential to provide a future cost-effective capability to destroy boosting missiles in the early part of the trajectory," reads the Review, the bible for U.S. missile defense. "Doing so would leverage technological advances made earlier in DoD's Airborne Laser Program, including for example advances in beam propagation and beam control. MDA is developing a Low-Power Laser Demonstrator to evaluate the technologies necessary for mounting a laser on an unmanned airborne platform to track and destroy missiles in their boost-phase."

PARIS: "My integrity and belief in SCO's mission is more important to me than my friendship over many years with Mike (Griffin)." That is why the head of the Pentagon's vaunted Strategic Capabilities Office, Chris Shank, has resigned rather than see his office transferred to DARPA.
Griffin called Shank into his office on Friday and told him the office would be transferred and asked for Shank's resignation. He agreed and immediately resigned.

What does Britain have in the works for its upcoming space strategy?
WASHINGTON - For months, analysts and industry have been waiting on the release of a new space strategy for the United Kingdom, one that would lay out steps forward for the U.K.'s future in the increasingly important war-fighting domain.
But the report has yet to materialize, even after Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson pledged it would be out before the end of 2018.
So when might the document roll out?
According to Gen. Gordon Messenger, the U.K.'s vice chief of the Defence Staff, the government expects to release an interim report in the spring/summer time frame, with the final report coming later in the year, following the government's conclusion of the comprehensive spending review, which will set London's budget for several years.
As to why the document was delayed: "The reason is because we want it to have some substance," Messenger told Defense News during a recent visit to Washington.
"We just wanted to signpost a little bit more substance to industry and to our partners on where we sit in terms of space capability. And [so we paused] just to reflect a little when we were at risk of producing a very broad policy statement rather than something that might have a little bit more substance to it."
"I'm guilty of delaying it, and I think it would be difficult for us to push out anything of substance before the spending review now, to be honest," he added, opining that industry should feel more confident the document will have money attached, as it will be released after the spending review.
During the interview, Messenger outlined a few priorities for that document: first, the development of a geostationary orbit for communications to bolster the U.K.'s Skynet constellation; and second, a replacement for the capability gap that now exists after the European Union pushed Britain out of the Galileo program.
"We are examining a number of options, not all of them space-based, to look at the gap that Galileo was designed to deliver, now that we are almost certainly no longer in the Galileo program," he said. "That's quite a complex debate, but certainly has a space dimension to it."
Finally, he noted that the U.K. is looking at the "merits" of a low-Earth orbit constellation for a "variety of potential uses." That is notable, as the U.S. Defense Department is prioritizing the creation and launch of a low-Earth orbit constellation. Given close ties between the U.S. and the U.K. on defense matters, including intelligence sharing and strategic weapons, it is possible the two could find common ground on such a system.
Messenger confirmed he talked about that program while meeting with Pentagon research head Mike Griffin, the driving force behind that constellation.

Space-based interceptors and drones with lasers: the Pentagon's Missile Defense Review wish list revealed
WASHINGTON - The long-delayed Missile Defense Review, which will be formally introduced by President Donald Trump at the Pentagon on Thursday, will call for research and investments to ensure America's security for the next several decades: laser technology, the F-35 as an ICBM killer, and potentially putting interceptors in space.
Trump will roll out the report at 11 a.m. Thursday as part of his third visit to the Pentagon since taking office.
Expected to attend the rollout is a who's who of national security officials, including vice president Mike Pence, national security adviser John Bolton; Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan; Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson; Army Secretary Mark Esper; Pentagon policy head John Rood; Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Ellen Lord; Pentagon technology head Mike Griffin; and Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio, a leading advocate for missile defense.
A senior administration official, speaking to reporters ahead of the report's release, confirmed a number of new technologies that Defense News has learned are highlighted in the report. The official told reporters that overall, the review looks at "the comprehensive environment the United States faces, and our allies and partners face. It does posture forces to be prepared for capabilities that currently exist and that we anticipate in the future."
It's been a long road for the MDR to finally emerge. Pentagon officials originally said the document would be released in late 2017 - then February, then mid-May and then late in the summer. In September, Rood, who as undersecretary of defense for policy is the point man for the MDR, indicated the report could come out in a matter of weeks. And in October, Shanahan, then the deputy secretary of defense, said the document had been done "for some time."
There is also widespread speculation in the missile defense community that the review has been delayed, at least in part, because of the warmed relations between the Trump administration and North Korea. Notably, the mid-May time frame for release, which was floated by Shanahan in April, lined up President Donald Trump's planned meeting in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. While that meeting was canceled and then eventually happened in June, there was a sense the Pentagon did not want to do anything that could jeopardize those talks, such as releasing a report discussing how the U.S. could counter North Korean capabilities.
Ironically, Trump will be rolling the report out just hours before a high-level North Korean delegation is expected to arrive in Washington for talks with the administration. However, Sung-Yoon Lee, a Korean expert with Tufts University's Fletcher School, doesn't expect that to impact any negotiations.

Q Research General #6006: OVER THE TARGET Edition
Our missile defense systems are no match for hypersonic weapons
A Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies paper makes a complete and compelling case for why the United States should aggressively pursue hypersonic weapons, systems that travel faster than five or six times the speed of sound.
Hypersonics, the authors conclude, would afford the U.S. with unprecedented rapid reach, global target access, a "fourth dimension effect" by effectively shrinking a foe's decision-making window and a complete rendering of existing air defenses to be obsolete.
What may not be obvious to U.S. policymakers is the corollary: Hypersonic weapons can provide these very same advantages to our adversaries. In fact, given the state of hypersonic weapons development in Russia and China, they already do.
Russian and Chinese research, test and development of hypersonic weapons have far outpaced that of the United States. A Russian hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), known as the Avangard, completed a successful flight test in December in which the weapon purportedly reached 27 times the speed of sound. The Russians also claim this system is now in production and ready to be fielded.
The Chinese have been even more aggressive in their pursuit of hypersonic weapons. According to Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Dr. Mike Griffin, China has conducted "more tests in the past year than the United States has conducted over the past decade," and it has achieved an initial operating capability with these weapons.
The United States, on the other hand, currently has no such capability. The stark reality is that our current missile defense systems, as well as our operational mindset, are simply incapable versus this threat.
What many in Congress may not understand is that HGVs are specifically designed to exploit gaps and seams within our current missile defense structure.
The Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) array of satellite sensors, sea-borne and terrestrial radars, and ground-based interceptors are designed against a singular threat - an incoming ballistic missile launched from North Korea or perhaps Iran.

Q Research General #4013: Judge K Will Be Confirmed Regardless Edition
Former Symantec CEO named to head Defense Department's Silicon Valley unit
https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2018/09/24/dod-diu-silicon-valley-unit-michael-brown-symantec.html
The Pentagon is bringing in former Symantec Corp. CEO Michael Brown to head up its freshly cemented Silicon Valley technology unit and one of his top priorities will be convincing the region's tech giants that they can and should work with the U.S. military.
Effective immediately, Brown is now the managing director of the Defense Department's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), the agency said on Monday. Brown was previously chairman and CEO of Mountain View-based Symantec and San Jose-based Quantum Corp. Most recently, he served as a White House Presidential Innovation Fellow.
"There is no better person than Mike Brown to lead DIU into its next chapter," Mike Griffin, the Pentagon's under secretary of defense for research and engineering, said in a statement. "Mike's extensive Silicon Valley career speaks for itself, as he has experience in both hardware from his time at Quantum, as well as software at Symantec."
Brown led Symantec for two years and oversaw its divestiture of Veritas before he was "transitioned" out by the board in 2016.
"I understand the motivation of companies, CEOs, investors because I've been working with these folks my whole life," Brown told industry publication Defense News on Monday.
His appointment comes weeks after Deputy U.S. Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said that the Silicon Valley defense unit, previously known as DIUx, would drop the "experimental" portion of its name, becoming a permanent DoD unit and now nicknamed simply DIU.
The unit was founded under Obama-era Defense Secretary Ash Carter in 2015. Last summer, Secretary of Defense James Mattis made a visit to its Mountain View headquarters and said the unit would "grow in its influence and its impact on the Department of Defense," noting artificial intelligence as a top area of interest.
Brown will fill the top role formerly held by Raj Shah, who stepped down in February. Sean Heritage, who has been acting as DIU interim head, will return to being the Navy lead for the office, the unit said.
In June, the unit also hired Mike Madsen as "Unit Partner" to smooth out the collaboration processes between Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C.
AI, Trump and China among Brown's priorities
Among Brown's top priorities will be convincing Silicon Valley tech companies to work with the U.S. military even as many of those businesses face employee pushback from within their ranks.
Earlier this year, thousands of Google employees protested against Project Maven, a project with the Pentagon in which the company's artificial intelligence technology was used to analyze drone footage. The uproar ultimately led the Alphabet Inc.-owned company to cancel the contact.
Brown told Defense News that the Project Maven incident was "overblown," adding that DIU is already in discussions with more than 500 different technology companies.
Brown also said his office will focus on warning U.S. companies of the dangers of working with China. American companies should be "not only viewing China as an economic opportunity but also seeing the geopolitical consequences," he told Defense News. "Being part of that debate is going to be an important role for DIU."
Brown also co-authored a white paper that reportedly helped to inform President Trump's bearish views on trade with China.
The Trump administration, which this week enacted $200 billion in new tariffs on Chinese imports, has taken an adversarial role toward the country, even as the massive Chinese market is increasingly being pursued by Silicon Valley companies from Tesla to Google.
"My fundamental view is we are in a technology race," Brown told Defense News. "We didn't ask to be in this, but we're in it. I'm concerned that if we don't recognize that we're in a race and take appropriate action, then we let China move forward and we don't put our best foot forward in terms of leading in these key technology areas."
Brown noted that the top tech investment priorities will include human systems engineering, information technology, cyber or advanced computing, autonomy, and artificial intelligence.
Brown said he plans to hire a human resources leader and new general counsel for the innovation unit.

Q Research General #2669: Grosvenor Square Evening Final Edition
In February 2002 the group returned to Russia, this time bringing Mike Griffin, who had worked for the CIA's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel,' according to the excerpt on Bloomberg. Musk was now looking for not one but three missiles and had a briefcase full of cash, too.
Musk asked point-blank how much a missile would cost.
'Eight million dollars each, they said. Musk countered, offering $8 million for two. 'They sat there and looked at him,' Cantrell said. 'And said something like, 'Young boy. No.'
Musk stormed out of that meeting, and on the plane home began devising a plan to create his own rockets."

"In October 2001, Musk travelled to Moscow with Jim Cantrell (an aerospace supplies fixer), and Adeo Ressi (his best friend from college), to buy refurbished Dnepr Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that could send the envisioned payloads into space. The group met with companies such as NPO Lavochkin and Kosmotras; however, according to Cantrell, Musk was seen as a novice and was consequently spat on by one of the Russian chief designers,[59] and the group returned to the United States empty-handed. In February 2002, the group returned to Russia to look for three ICBMs, bringing along Mike Griffin. Griffin had worked for the CIA's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel, as well as NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and was just leaving Orbital Sciences, a maker of satellites and spacecraft. The group met again with Kosmotras, and were offered one rocket for US$8 million; however, this was seen by Musk as too expensive; Musk consequently stormed out of the meeting. On the flight back from Moscow, Musk realized that he could start a company that could build the affordable rockets he needed.[59] According to early Tesla and SpaceX investor Steve Jurvetson,[60] Musk calculated that the raw materials for building a rocket actually were only 3 percent of the sales price of a rocket at the time. It was concluded that theoretically, by applying vertical integration and the modular approach from software engineering, SpaceX could cut launch price by a factor of ten and still enjoy a 70-percent gross margin.[61] Ultimately, Musk ended up founding SpaceX with the long-term goal of creating a "true spacefaring civilization"
