When the final report was issued in 2000, it wasn't copied to Directorate Air Staff, despite their being the division with the policy lead for UFOs!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many British pilots, air staff, ground crew and everyone who worked so hard to support the Nato mission and the work of the NTC.

Developed by what was British Aerospace Dynamics - later subsumed into MBDA - ALARM was developed under Air Staff Requirement 1228 to provide RAF Tornados with a defence suppression capability.
