Pentagon Removes Public Access to Weapons Testing Reports Amid Security Concerns
The Department of Defense has removed unclassified annual reports on weapons testing from its website, citing security concerns. The reports, previously available to the public, have been moved to a secure network accessible only to authorized personnel. This decision is part of a broader effort to protect sensitive information from being exploited by foreign adversaries using advanced data aggregation and artificial intelligence tools. The Office of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), responsible for these reports, plays a crucial role in providing independent oversight of military testing. The move has sparked criticism, with some arguing it violates legal requirements for transparency.
