Publisher's Synopsis
From Deck Force Seaman
To Space Operations
Guy Thomas is best known as inventor of S-AIS, the most impactful
invention in the marine world since radar, but his life as a Navy
"spook" was even more unusual and eventful.
The first career officer of his classified field to step "Out of the
Shadows" to describe operations at the tactical level in combat
off Vietnam and on covert missions off Russia, Korea, China, and
the Middle East, his very unique multi-service career as a subject
matter expert on surveillance systems took him into the highest
offices of the intelligence Community.
As the first officer to step "Out of the Shadows," the security
review took 19 months and involved the NSA, FBI, and CIA, plus
the US Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard, as well as the National
Security Council, all places he had worked with in a 50 plus year
career. He goes on to describe the origins and initial trials of Satellite
AIS (S-AIS).
A "must-read" for National Security and Technical Intelligence buffs.
