from The Tempest Universe · host Manny Moonraker

New Chandelier UFO…Maybe A.I. and Karl Nell Bags $1.2 Million In October 2019, Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science (TTSA) signed a five-year Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army. The partnership aims to study and develop advanced, "exotic" materials and technologies—including metamaterials and quantum physics applications—to enhance U.S. Army ground vehicle capabilities, such as survivability and weight reduction.  Key Aspects of the TTSA-Army Contract: Purpose: The Army aims to verify and utilize TTSA's advanced materiel solutions for military applications, specifically focusing on metamaterials, quantum communications, active camouflage, and beamed energy propulsion. No-Exchange-of-Funds: According to the actual contract document, the deal is an unfunded CRADA, meaning no money is directly exchanged between the Army and TTSA, despite earlier, contrary reports of funding. Collaboration Scope: The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command provides lab facilities and expertise to analyze materials provided by TTSA. Focus Areas: Technologies include inertial mass reduction, mechanical/structural metamaterials, and spacetime metric engineering.  The partnership, managed by the Army Futures Command, signifies a formal collaboration to research technology derived from or inspired by unidentified aerospace phenomena (UAP).
