FBI Alleges Engineer Passed B-2 Bomber Secrets
By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE


An engineer who worked on the development of the U.S. B-2 bomber has been arrested in Hawaii for allegedly passing secret technology related to the radar-evading plane to three foreign governments, the FBI said Oct. 28.

Noshir Gowadia was accused of “willfully communicating national defense information to a person not entitled to receive it,” the Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.

A Pentagon spokesman said he was unaware of the details of the FBI investigation and so could not comment on the extent of the damage that may have been caused.



”Our modern weapons systems use advance technologies that provide the U.S. military with cutting edge capabilities, and to the extent that information is shared with inappropriate entities that could be harmful to our national defense,” said Bryan Whitman.

Gowadia was a design engineer with Northrop Corporation from 1968 to 1986, where he worked on the development of the B-2 bomber’s propulsion system, according to the FBI.

It said that in recent years he marketed himself to unidentified foreign military entities and individuals.

The FBI alleged that Gowadia “disclosed United States military technology secrets related to the B-2 to foreign governments in order to ‘assist’ them in obtaining a higher level of military technology.”

It said he faxed a document on October 23, 2002 with details for developing infrared technology for a foreign military aircraft to an official in a unidentified foreign country.

”This document, which was a proposal for infrared suppression, was determined to be classified at the Top Secret level by the Original Classification Authority of the United States Air Force,” the FBI said.

He also “communicated or otherwise delivered classified information” to two other foreign governments or their representatives, the FBI said.
