A powerful congressional committee is probing a secret Navy program studying potential traumatic brain injuries suffered by the service’s aviators, which may have led to the recent suicides of at least three Super Hornet pilots.

On Thursday, Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter to acting Secretary of the Navy Terence Emmert requesting information and documents related to Project Odin’s Eye, an internal service review of traumatic brain injuries potentially sustained by pilots with the Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program, popularly known as TOPGUN.
