Background
In October 2019, Tom DeLonge's To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Army. The partnership specifically involved the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command and its Ground Vehicle System Center. TTSA committed to providing alleged UAP artifacts and debris from their collection for scientific examination using military equipment and expertise.
The Army expressed explicit interest in investigating the anomalous properties of these materials for potential military applications, particularly concerning ground vehicle survivability and protection technologies. According to public statements by both organizations, the collaboration aimed to characterize the materials and explore their technological potential. However, the agreement notably lacked provisions for public transparency regarding the findings.
Dr. Doug Halleaux, Public Affairs Officer for the CCDC Ground Vehicle System Center, confirmed the Army's scientific interest in the materials' properties. The arrangement represented a rare instance of official military cooperation with a private civilian organization regarding potentially exotic recovered materials, establishing a framework for classified research that would later generate controversy over secrecy.
