Nushir Govadia’s Top Secret Techniques

On August 26, 2010, Govadia was arrested on the island of Maui, Hawaii, on suspicion of "deliberately informing national defense information to persons who had no right to know" and was subsequently detained at the Honolulu Detention Center. FBI investigators said Govadia sent a fax to a foreign official on October 23, 2002, detailing an infrared suppression technology classified as top secret by the U.S. Air Force. In addition, he has sold B-2 bomber-related technology to two other countries.

The FBI said that Govardia admitted during interrogation that he had provided confidential information to about eight countries. However, the FBI did not disclose the names of the countries that received the intelligence, nor did it disclose the income Gowadia received from it.

Chas Goodwin, director of the FBI's Honolulu branch, said at a press conference on August 27, 2010: "I can only say that this case is very sensitive and we are still doing further research. Investigation."

When federal investigators searched Govadia's home on Aug. 13, 2010, they found numerous employees who worked for Grumman and the national laboratory at Los Alamos, according to court documents. Confidential documents obtained during this period.

The FBI's written statement submitted on the 26th stated that when Gowadia promoted himself to foreign officials and other foreigners, he promoted himself as the "father" of the B-2's unique infrared suppression propulsion system.
