A Silent Warrior Steps Out of the Shadows

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.
