The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) is the principal intelligence organization of the U.S. Department of Defense, established on October 1, 1961, by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara. It serves as the central intelligence manager for DoD and provides military intelligence to the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and policy makers. With approximately 16,500 personnel deployed across 140+ countries, DIA operates four main directorates (Operations, Analysis, Science and Technology, and Mission Services) and produces roughly one-quarter of the President's Daily Brief. Notably, DIA initiated the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) in 2007, budgeting $22 million over five years to investigate unidentified aerial phenomena worldwide; though AATIP concluded in 2012, DIA continues to provide input to current UAP coordination efforts under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

A Agência de Inteligência de Defesa (Defense Intelligence Agency — DIA) é a principal organização de inteligência do Departamento de Defesa dos EUA, estabelecida em 1º de outubro de 1961, pelo Secretário de Defesa Robert McNamara. Funciona como gerenciadora central de inteligência para o DoD e fornece inteligência militar ao Secretário de Defesa, aos Chefes de Estado-Maior Conjunto e aos formuladores de políticas. Com aproximadamente 16.500 pessoal distribuído em mais de 140 países, a DIA opera quatro diretórios principais (Operações, Análise, Ciência e Tecnologia e Serviços de Missão) e produz aproximadamente um quarto do Resumo Presidencial Diário. Notavelmente, a DIA iniciou o Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) em 2007, orçando US$22 milhões ao longo de cinco anos para investigar fenômenos aéreos não identificados em todo o mundo; embora o AATIP tenha sido concluído em 2012, a DIA continua fornecendo informações para os esforços atuais de coordenação de UAP sob o Gabinete do Diretor de Inteligência Nacional.
