Official Records show the Army has been Developing and Testing 'Counterterrorism' Drones in New Jersey for years, amid Claims of a Government Cover-Up.
A 2018 Defense Contract Awarded $50 million to a Private Robotics Company, to develop Craft capable of creating 3D Maps of Urban areas for a Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction Program.
The Contract was given out by the Army's Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Center (ARDEC), which is located at the Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway, New Jersey, where Mystery Drones were First reported last month.
Documents show the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), issued an Air Restriction Alert on November 21st, prohibiting Flights over the Picatinny Base for Special Security reasons, through December 26th.
The White House has claimed the Drone Sightings, which coincidentally began on November 18th, are Not a Foreign Adversary, pose No Threat, and are Not part of a U.S. Military Operation.
Retired CIA Intelligence Officer Rudy Ridolfi said:'This FAA notice shows US drone testing is happening in the area. It's a warning for others to stay out of the area during those dates. While the nature of the testing isn't specified, it's most likely the testing of payloads related to reconnaissance.'
But Matt Sloane, Founder of Drone Consulting firm AI Skyfire, said that the Sightings could be 'a contractor developing these drones for the Department of Defense (DoD)
Under the Terms of the Contract, Robotic Research was tasked with conducting Technical Demonstrations of Autonomous Unmanned systems Sensing Technologies and Designing them with Sensing Technologies for Drones.
The Program is focused on Improving Autonomy, 3D/4D Mapping, Localization, Target ID, Tracking, Collective 3D Visualization, Weapons system Integration of Unmanned Autonomous Systems and Subterranean Communications.
The DoD can deny Claims of Third-Party Technologies, if the Drones were placed on a Secure Tech List for Contract Disclosures, which means the Government is applying Special Restrictions to the Information.
The Restrictions are added when Technologies Protect National Security or to keep Advanced Systems Hidden from Hostile Nations, and the Developer holds Primary Liability, if the Government is Not Operating the drones, Ridolfi explained.
A Picatinny Arsenal Spokesperson said: "We can confirm that they are not the result of any Picatinny Arsenal or DEVCOM Armaments Center (formerly ARDEC) directed actions."
The Government Contract was Awarded to Maryland-based Company Robotics Research. The FAA Alert could Signal that the Contract had Approval to Test drones in a Public area.
"They could have been testing them in a different place on a military installation and now it was time to move the testing out to a public area," Sloane said. "The military has in various places around the country that are out of the way of prying eyes. Maybe it was just time to graduate that testing to the public."
