A proposed Department of Homeland Security successor to AAWSAP/AATIP, pitched by program supporters after AAWSAP's 2012 termination and described by AARO's 2024 historical-record report as a "Prospective Special Access Program" that was "never approved by DHS." Watching stub — first appearance in the vault, single-source (AARO Vol. I); graduates to a full hub if it recurs in independent sourcing.
