Jon T. Kosloski is a U.S. defense and intelligence technologist who became director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office on August 26, 2024, assuming the role formally in early September 2024 after Timothy Phillips's interim leadership period. Public descriptions of his background identify him as a former National Security Agency technical director with physics, engineering, and intelligence-community experience.
