Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program (AAWSAP) is the parent program to AATIP and its successor UAPTF. The programs assess aerospace over Four Corners, USA for unidentified hypersonic vehicles (UFOs or UAPs). The Department of Defense (DoD) had not publicly acknowledged the program’s existence until AATIP was revealed by media reports in 2017.

UAPTF

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) supersedes AATIP under the direction of the Office of Naval Intelligence. The U.S. program will "standardize collection and reporting" for the detection of unexplained hypersonic aerial vehicles. The program was detailed in a June 2020 hearing of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.<ref name=UAPTF>Wikipedia, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force</ref>

UAPTF assumed AATIP's main function for detection and high resolution tracking of UFOs at hypersonic velocities. UNLV researched and provided the means necessary, during AATIP, for the Department of Defense (DoD)<ref name=FOIA/> to monitor Four Corners, USA.<ref name=Utah/>

The program was officially approved on August 4, 2020 by the Deputy Secretary of Defense David Norquist, and announced on August 14, 2020.
