Mission

To improve aerospace safety by enhancing scientific knowledge of, and mitigating barriers to the study of, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP)

Gimbal UAP 2015

Representing over 30,000 aerospace engineers, the UAPIOC is a diverse group of dedicated volunteers with a broad set of technical skills from many different fields and disciplines.

  • Aerospace Engineering
  • Military and Civil Aviation
  • Data Science and Analytics
  • Intelligence and Technology Research Analysts

We are a data-driven, neutral, scientifically focused team!

Teams

Hardware Factors

Serves as a neutral focal point enhancing activities focused on detection, characterization, and evaluation of UAP so that aviation safety-related UAP data and analysis can be integrated into relevant scientific/engineering aspects of aviation development, design, and safety planning across the aviation/space systems environment.

Human Factors

Develops and facilitates the implementation of UAP reporting and occupational health framework across aviation and space sectors.

Outreach

Facilitates and supports the UAPIOC’s interaction with appropriate AIAA committees and organizations, aerospace industry, government agencies, academic institutions, and international researchers and organizations associated with the scientific and engineering study of UAP.
