In a potentially transformative development for U.S. national security, Liberation Times has obtained a policy brief proposing the creation of a senior White House advisor—referred to as the Emerging All-Domain Technologies (EADT) “czar.”
The document has been provided for the incoming Trump administration, and outlines a pressing need for coordinated U.S. action to address the dual challenges posed by advanced Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), collectively termed EADT.
The brief was drafted by the UAP Disclosure Fund’s Lue Elizondo, who previously led the Pentagon’s UAP investigation, known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, or AATIP.
According to the brief, the U.S. government ‘woefully lacks a whole-of-government solution to EADT.’
Explaining why UAS and UAP are grouped under a single role, the document states:
‘UAP can no longer be distinguished entirely from UAS and other EADT, hobbling our domain awareness and response. The presence of UAP and UAS around U.S. nuclear facilities is especially disturbing, jeopardizing our strategic deterrent and international stability.’
The proposed EADT czar would sit within the National Security Council (NSC) and be tasked with:
Coordinating the federal government’s response to EADT
Formulating policy to address these challenges
Conducting outreach domestically and internationally.
Furthermore, the czar would lead EADT discussions within the National Security Council and Cabinet.
If the position is established, the czar would be granted access to ‘all UAP-related classified information’ and tasked with advising the President on the declassification of UAP-related records.
The role would also include advising the President on the declassification of UAP-related records, whilst spearheading ‘responsible UAP transparency.’
By establishing a direct line to the President, and bypassing bureaucratic layers, the EADT czar could deliver unprecedented transparency on UAP matters.
Recent failures in UAP legislation within Congress have underscored the need for stronger executive oversight and action — something Liberation Times sources view as crucial for rebuilding public trust.
The brief warns that mastery of UAP technology could fundamentally alter the global balance of power to the detriment of the U.S., particularly if adversaries such as Russia and China achieve breakthroughs first.
It states:
‘Mastery of UAP technology would, however, eclipse yesteryear’s moveable type and splitting of the atom, today’s transformations in semiconductors, and tomorrow’s breakthroughs in quantum computing and artificial intelligence—all at once.’
These technologies are described as possessing ‘capabilities that defy our conventional knowledge.’
The brief highlights the urgency of this technological race, noting:
‘While the U.S. stigmatizes even discussing UAP, America’s enemies are racing to unlock their technology and gain a decisive edge.’
The document criticizes past U.S. efforts, citing ‘unfocused research and development’ and ‘over-compartmentalization’ of classified projects, which have hindered competitiveness.
Liberation Times understands that this is a direct reference to alleged classified U.S. programs involving advanced non-human materials— including craft, debris and biologics.
The brief recommends leveraging the academic and scientific communities, as well as private sector talent, to accelerate research into advanced propulsion and other technologies.
This approach could unlock UAP-related advancements and address the gaps in scientific understanding.
In response to the new policy brief, The Hill opinion contributor Marik Von Rennenkampff told Liberation Times:
“The appointment of an EADT ‘czar’ is long overdue. This is especially the case following a series of mysterious, remarkably brazen incursions over sensitive military facilities and assets in recent years that exposed the U.S. government’s shambolic and haphazard response to such perplexing activities.
“The incidents, such as nightly, weeks-long incursions over Langley Air Force Base and the appearance of ‘dozens’ of unknown objects over U.S. bases in the United Kingdom, blurred the line between UAP and conventional drones. In those cases, and several others where unknown ‘drones’ exhibited highly advanced technology, the U.S. government was left with few answers as the objects evaded detection and were immune to the sophisticated counter-drone technologies deployed against them. That the objects ‘hovered’ over critical assets with utter impunity despite the deployment of dozens of troops to disable the objects and identify the operators is all the more alarming.
“With the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office statutorily barred from investigating incidents involving ‘drones’ - no matter how thin the attribution or application of that label - it is high time for a single point of contact, with appropriate authorities and accesses, to manage this perplexing national security vulnerability in a coordinated, effective whole-of-government manner.”
The document also emphasizes the disruptive potential of UAS, particularly when misused by rogue actors. It warns:
‘In the wrong hands, UAS can surveil and disrupt sensitive U.S. installations and critical infrastructure, disrupt aviation, harass citizens, transport illegal drugs, and facilitate human trafficking.’
Such challenges, the brief notes, represent a ‘gray area of future conflict’ with far-reaching consequences beyond cyber warfare.
The EADT czar’s role would centralize fragmented government efforts across federal agencies.
Recent UAS incursions, such as those in New Jersey, revealed significant coordination issues between the Department of Defense (DoD), FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and local law enforcement.
The czar would be tasked with providing leadership to address current gaps laid bare by the recent incursions.
The brief also critiques the DoD’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), established to analyze UAP, calling it ‘mired in bureaucracy, overly siloed, and unable to achieve its mission.’
It is understood by Liberation Times, that the new czar, if appointed, could take direct oversight of the AARO, which currently sits within the Assistant Secretary of Defense’s office.
The EADT czar’s responsibilities would include leveraging the U.S. Space Force - where the report’s author was previously employed - and U.S. Space Command to strengthen national intelligence and guide the creation of a National Intelligence Estimate on EADT, including UAP.
Such an estimate could officially acknowledge UAPs’ suspected non-human and extraterrestrial origins.
The policy brief concludes with a bold declaration:
‘America can handle the truth, and America deserves the truth.’
