Anomalous Health Incidents (AHI)
Anomalous Health Incidents (AHI) — formally tracked Pentagon category for the cluster of unexplained neurological injuries first dubbed “Havana Syndrome.” UAP-adjacent because of (a) the shared “anomalous” classification language used by aaro for UAP, and (b) the policy decision to manage AHI inside the department-of-war R&E enterprise rather than purely as a medical or counterintelligence issue.
DoW posture (April 2026)
Per src-hegseth-fy27-posture-testimony-2026-04, Secretary of War Hegseth testified that the AHI Cross-Functional Team (CFT) has been realigned under the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering (OUSW(R&E)), with the goal to “get ahead of any potential threat and eliminate the potential for adversarial surprise.” A Navy Rear Admiral who is both a SEAL and a medical doctor was added to the AHI leadership team.
HAVANA Act compensation
Hegseth disclosed the first HAVANA Act payments to victims have been approved, with the DoW disbursing ~$3 million in compensation since President Trump’s inauguration.
UAP-adjacency
Within DoW vocabulary, “anomalous” now spans both AHI (a directed-energy / adversarial threat-vector working hypothesis) and UAP (aaro mission). Both organizational lines run through OUSW(R&E) at the policy level under FY27 posture.
