US Army · suggested 2026
Suggested request
Request
Hume, pulling back from active FOIA, suggested someone request records on CHIMERA used against drones, unknown UAS, UAP — and separately on HPM systems in the WSMR context of Coulthart reporting.
Outcome
Not Hume's filing. Open research action.
Directed-energy / counter-UAS lead he did not have time to run.
