Charles Chase RTP Portfolio (Explicit Technology List)

ASSESSMENT ASSESSMENT // RTP TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO Also: Chase RTP portfolio, Revolutionary Technology Programs list, Chase resume

01 Executive_Summary

ASSESSMENT: Charles Chase's resume (September 2024, hosted at unlab.us) EXPLICITLY lists the Revolutionary Technology Programs portfolio. Chase: 'Founder and Leader of Revolutionary Technology Programs, the organization at the technological front end of the Skunk Works.' Senior Tech Fellow — 'top 0.1% of technical talent.' PRODUCTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT BY CHASE'S TEAM IN 2018: (1) Novel mission and aerospace vehicle system designs; (2) Engineered materials, metamaterials; thermal, optical, RF; (3) NOVEL PARTICLE, NEUTRAL, AND INTELLIGENT WAVE FRONT BEAMS — 'we build our own beams'; (4) PLASMA BASED FLOW CONTROL, POWER, CIRCUIT, AND OTHER SYSTEMS; (5) Adaptive structures, morphing; (6) Aerodynamic materials, flow control; (7) BREAKTHROUGH POWER AND PROPULSION, 'from the here and now to the can't-believe-it's-possible'; (8) COMPACT FUSION — 'an elegant and radical new approach that can provide energy for everyone'; (9) Hypersonic systems and materials; (10) Energy-harvesting building facades; (11) Human-machine interfaces; (12) RF systems for communication, power transfer and control. ADDITIONAL: 'Identified more than 50 potential breakthrough technologies.' 'Initiated the incubation of 10 diverse projects in 2017.' 'Portfolio value assessed to be in the billions.' 'More than 50 team members, 2/3 with advanced degrees.' '$15M per year enterprise' (2008). NSF INTERAGENCY MEETING (November 2024): Chase keynote speaker alongside HAL PUTHOFF (UAP researcher, CIA/DIA-funded). CRITICAL: This is the MOST EXPLICIT confirmation of the RTP's technology portfolio. Compact Fusion, plasma systems, and 'can't-believe-it's-possible' propulsion are all directly listed. The Chase-Puthoff connection links RTP to the UAP research community.
