For more than seven decades, the world’s most advanced aerospace, intelligence, and defense programs have operated behind layers of classification, compartmentalization, and intentional ambiguity. Much of what the public knows about these efforts is fragmented, distorted, or incomplete. At ASIRP, we believe that understanding the true trajectory of anomalous technology development — who built it, why, and how — is a prerequisite for informed policy, public accountability, and scientific progress.

The Forensic Reconstructions Program is the heart of that mission. We conduct deep, evidence-based investigations into historical state-level projects, merging primary-source archives — including the Černohajev Papers — with declassified U.S. and Soviet documents, patents, technical reports, and testimony. Our analysts map timelines, reconstruct decision chains, and trace the evolution of key technologies across decades. The result is a verified historical foundation that cuts through speculation and allows policymakers, researchers, and the public to understand what was really pursued, what was achieved, and what questions remain unanswered.
