The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) announced on Tuesday that it has established the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) to succeed the Navy’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force. The AOIMSG was formed to “address the challenges associated with assessing UAP occurring on or near DOD training ranges and installations” raised in a report submitted to Congress by the UAP Task Force in June 2021. The group will be responsible for coordinating government efforts to detect and identify objects of interests in Special Use Airspace (SUA) along with assessing and mitigating any associated safety of flight and national security threats.
