AIPHX

The Administration for the Interdiction of Phenomenon of Extraterrestrial Origin (AIPHX), pronounced ay-fix, is a United States Department of Defense black program under control of the Air Force. Following a series of events that occurred in London, United Kingdom, a secret United States Congressional hearing authorized the formation of a defensive program focusing on investigating the extraterrestrial phenomena and developing technologies to provide for defense from recovery of extraterrestrial objects.

AIPHX is based within Area 51 and Nellis Air Force Base in the state of Nevada. The primary headquarters and command center is based in Nellis AFB, while development and testing of technologies and other black projects is conducted at Area 51 facilities.

Projects
AIPHX is notable for several vital developments in human technological capabilities in defense and weaponry against extraterrestrial threats. Initially, AIPHX functioned on its own until 2013 when AIPHX declassified itself to other similar programs around the world. AIPHX began joint projects with the Torchwood Institute in the United Kingdom and UNIT.

AIPHX projects have been largely successful in developing weapons capable of defeating enemy armor and other defenses. Dalek Killer ammunition, designed for use in human firearms, was developed in response to the problem of Dalek armor (dalekanium) being bullet proof. Utilizing a modified form of depleted uranium, AIPHX created ammunition capable of penetrating dalekanium, allowing for bullets to hit and kill the Dalek creature within.

The UNIT-14 Pulse Carbine is the result of a joint UNIT-AIPHX development program to reverse engineer Dalek plasma weapons. Using captured killed Daleks and taking apart their mechanical exteriors, AIPHX and UNIT managed to redesign the Dalek's plasma turret. The end result was the creation and successful testing of the X-14 Plasma Rifle, which was notable in its ability to induce damage against Daleks and kill Cybermen. Released for use within special operations teams, the UNIT-14 Pulse Carbine has proven its worth in combating Daleks, Cybermen and a variety of other hostile extraterrestrial species during incursions with the Earth.

New heavy weaponry is ongoing in their development as a result of the successful UNIT-14 carbine. The reverse-engineered Dalek plasma weapons are now being tested on platforms including anti-aircraft weapons, vehicle mounted guns, integrated on attack helicopter weapons platforms and are being tested on fighter aircraft.

AIPHX is developing several other technologies vital to defense of the Earth. Projects include the development of a vortex manipulator for time travel and a teleportation device for teleporting an individual from one place to another. AIPHX is also constructing a second flying aircraft carrier, similar to UNIT's Valiant.
