Anomalous Systems Intelligence & Reconnaissance Project
Across more than seven decades, governments, institutions, and industries have pursued technologies and investigations that remain poorly understood, inconsistently documented, or deliberately obscured from the public record. Much of this activity — from advanced aerospace research to anomalous systems engineering — has never been systematically reconstructed, analyzed, or made meaningfully accessible to policymakers or the scientific community.
The Anomalous Systems Intelligence & Reconnaissance Project (ASIRP) was established to change that. As the first dedicated forensic-intelligence initiative focused on anomalous systems, ASIRP works to illuminate the true historical and technical record, advance accountability, and inform the policy decisions that will shape humanity’s engagement with these technologies in the decades ahead.
Forensic Reconstruction
Rebuilding the Record of the Unknown
ASIRP’s intelligence-driven forensic investigations trace the real history of anomalous technology — from Cold War archives to modern research — to reveal what was pursued, what was achieved, and how those discoveries shape today’s strategic landscape.
Oversight & Accountability
Turning Transparency Into a Measurable Standard
We examine institutional transparency, legislative compliance, and disclosure practices — publishing forensic briefings, scorecards, and investigative reports that identify gaps and enable effective oversight.
Science & Policy Futures
Turning Transparency Into a Measurable Standard
Disclosure is only the beginning. ASIRP translates historical insight into forward-looking policy, data standards, and governance models — helping institutions manage emerging technologies and shape humanity’s next chapter.
Mission & Vision
ASIRP is a nonpartisan forensic-intelligence initiative dedicated to investigating state-level anomalous technology programs, reconstructing their historical evolution, and translating that knowledge into policy-relevant analysis.
Our mission is to ensure that the most consequential scientific and technological developments — many long buried within classified programs or mischaracterized in public discourse — are examined rigorously, contextualized accurately, and used to inform the next generation of governance, research, and strategy.
ASIRP operates under the Černohajev Archive & Research Institute (CARI), which curates and analyzes the collection of Cold War-era research and documentation known as the Černohajev Papers. These materials — along with declassified records, technical data, and historical intelligence — form the evidentiary backbone of our work and the starting point for a new era of policy-driven investigation.
Advancing Policy and Disclosure
While other organizations focus on advocacy, public outreach, or data collection, ASIRP addresses a deeper need: the demand for verifiable evidence, rigorous analysis, and institutional accountability.
Our work directly supports disclosure and post-disclosure policy by:
Clarifying the historical record – Enabling lawmakers and oversight bodies to base decisions on documented evidence rather than speculation.
Strengthening oversight – Providing independent assessments of compliance and transparency across agencies and programs.
Reducing strategic ambiguity – Helping policymakers distinguish between misinformation, mythology, and verifiable technological progress.
Preparing governance frameworks – Equipping institutions to manage the scientific, ethical, and strategic implications of future revelations.
We combine archival forensics, intelligence and investigative analysis, along with policy engagement into a unified, evidence-driven approach.
“Our purpose is simple. Provide practical, evidence-based, tools that help leaders ask better questions; and make better-informed decisions.”

The ASIRP Journal
The ASIRP Journal is the institute’s flagship publication — a peer-reviewed platform for forensic analyses, historical reconstructions, and strategic commentary. Articles from the Journal are cited in policy briefings, academic research, and investigative reporting.
Expert Contributors are invited to author or co-author articles, participate in editorial review, and shape the public record on this emerging field. Publication opportunities include historical analyses, technical commentaries, oversight perspectives, and thematic reports.

Credibility & Conduct Scorecard
In a space clouded by speculation, personality, and politics, ASIRP brings measurable standards to the conversation. Our Accountability Scorecards evaluate politicians, institutions, and media figures based on the quality of their actions — not their visibility.
We track clarity of communication, evidence-based methodology, legislative impact, openness, and innovation — while deducting points for sensationalism, gatekeeping, conspiracy rhetoric, and empty promises.
The result is a clear, data-driven benchmark of who is advancing disclosure and oversight — and who is holding it back.
The ASIRP Scorecards are not a ranking of popularity. They are a reflection of integrity, discipline, and impact — a new standard for a field that demands better.
