Good afternoon David,

Thank you for your email.

Regarding your request, it is noted that you are seeking documents held by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) and not the Department of Defence.

As ASD processes FOI requests separately from the Department of Defence, it is suggested that you make your request to ASD directly, noting that ASD is an exempt agency under s7(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 1982.

As such, do you confirm your withdrawal of your request to Defence under The Freedom of Information Act 1982?

It would be appreciated if you could provide your response by 4PM Wednesday 18th June 2025.

Kind Regards,

Freedom of Information Team
Media and Information Disclosure Branch
Ministerial & Executive Coordination and Communication Division
Department of Defence

Subject: Freedom of Information request - Access to Documents Relating to Directed Energy/EMF Targeting

EXTERNAL EMAIL: Do not click any links or open any attachments unless you trust the sender and know the content is safe.

Dear Department of Defence,

This is a request for access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982.

I am seeking access to any and all documents held by the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) or associated intelligence agencies that contain information about:

* The use, testing, or deployment of technologies involving electromagnetic fields (EMF), directed energy weapons (DEWs), microwave auditory effect, or similar methods for surveillance, behaviour modification, or targeted individual operations on Australian soil;

* Any documents, briefings, internal communications, or reports identifying myself, David Iorlano, as a subject of surveillance, targeted testing, or other activities involving such technologies;

*Any policies, authorisations, or legal frameworks under which such programs are conducted—particularly if they involve civilians who have not been convicted of any crimes.

To assist you in locating relevant documents, I provide the following additional context:

* The technologies in question may include the use of cell towers, satellites, WiFi infrastructure, and mobile networks.

*Effects reportedly caused include neurological disruption, sleep interference, headaches, auditory phenomena, and physiological anomalies, all potentially linked to exposure to non-consensual EMF-based targeting.

I request that, if any documents fall under exemptions, you provide the reason for exemption and release the remainder of the document with redactions as necessary.

I prefer to receive the documents electronically, via this email address: [email address]

Thank you for your time and assistance. Please confirm receipt of this request.

Yours faithfully,

David Iorlano
