Any enlightenment available on circumstances?
Last thursday a friend and colleague of mine visited the danish SIGINT site Skibsbylejren, which is under reconstruction and enhancement. They're building new 23 meters tall, 30 meters wide radomes. Three radomes are more or less finished by now, three more are planned to be built soon. My friend visited the site with a local politician. So they went in on the enclosed area (through the unlocked gate) and knocked on the door of a trailer parked near one of the radomes. This guy jumps up inside the trailer, rushes to the door blocking their access, and tells them 'you're not supposed to be here'. He's obviously american, wearing overalls and a blue workmans shirt with a round printed badge on left pocket: NOOS in the middle, US Department of Commerce along the circle. NOOS is short for four words - which also were printed in the badge, but they didn't get the time to read the words before the american ran away and eight danish military intelligence officers showed up and threw my friend and the politician out. My friend works for national radio, and they were visiting the site so she could interview the politician for a news-piece on signals intelligence in Denmark. The story about the american broke big time this morning and will be discussed in parliament later today. Yours

Hi list Does anyone have any idea what NOOS stands for in connection with the US Department of Commerce?
The letters NOOS was spotted in a round badge -- NOOS in the middle, US Department of Commerce along the circle in the bottom - four words in the top -- but I don't know which.
Any help?
Yours Bo Elkjaer, Denmark
