Hotline Allegations Pertaining to Aerostat Operations.

Abstract

The Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) supports an air sovereignty mission that includes detection of illegal drug trafficking and lowlevel surveillance used in controlling access to U.S. air space. Based on congressional direction in the Defense Appropriation Acts of FYs 1991 and 1992, the DoD was given overall responsibility for the TARS, and the Air Force was designated Executive Agent. The Office of the Inspector General, DoD, received allegations from multiple sources regarding the Air Force 5 management of the TARS.
