The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) primarily focuses on addressing Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) through systematic and scientific approaches. Its core offerings include advanced data collection methodologies and standardized reporting frameworks designed to enhance the transparency and accountability of UAP investigations. AARO's services aim to mitigate potential safety and security risks associated with UAP, utilized by various government entities, defense agencies, and research institutions across the United States and allied nations.
The office also provides official UAP imagery and case resolution reports for both internal and public stakeholders interested in the UAP discourse. AARO's revenue model is based on government funding and partnerships, operating on a budget allocated by the U. S. government to promote transparency.
