Sarah Gamm
Sarah Gamm is a distinguished intelligence analyst and scientist whose career spans multiple branches of the United States military and intelligence community. With a Bachelor of Science in Astrophysics and a Master of Science in Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction, she has consistently demonstrated a rare blend of scientific rigor and strategic insight.
Her early career included pivotal roles at Lockheed Martin and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), where she served as a systems engineer supporting satellite operations. She later advanced to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), contributing as an image scientist, image analyst and research scientist, with expertise in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and satellite imagery analysis. Her work supported critical missions, including the Mosul Dam Task Force, where she created a new product line for NGA and co-authored, a groundbreaking paper integrating satellite data with ground truth for remote infrastructure monitoring. The proven approach developed for remote monitoring of Mosul Dam is still being used by the Government of Iraq today.Sarah eventually went to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to support the National Counterproliferation and Biosecurity Center (NCBC). While at NCBC, she was a nuclear counterproliferation strategist and managed global nuclear strategies, contributed to national level policies and briefed senior leaders in the U.S. government.
Sarah's contributions to national security extended to her tenure with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), where she works within the Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) office. She also served as a Nuclear Campaign Analyst at the Pentagon, supporting the U.S. Air Force on strategic initiatives related to nuclear force posture.
Her involvement with the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force, formerly under the ODNI, showcased her analytical acumen in one of the most enigmatic areas of defence research. As a member of the task force, Sarah evaluated classified and unclassified imagery and sensor data, contributing to assessments of anomalous aerial events. Her work intersected with legacy programs such as AATIP (Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program), and she has publicly advocated for transparency and scientific integrity in UAP investigations.
Throughout her career, Sarah Gamm has held high-level security clearances and collaborated across agencies including the Department of Energy, ODNI, and the Department of Defence. Sarah has extensive experience collaborating with international entities, governments and organizations. Her commitment to scientific inquiry, national defence, and open-minded exploration of the unknown continues to inspire professionals across disciplines.
