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
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
US the
top -- but I don't know which.
Any help?

Links from that site are intriguing.
Alta Vista, as always is richer if not faster than Googol. The first hit on Alta Vista is to an Italian translation of TS Eliot's Little Gidding (wa wonderful poem :-) There are some computer resellers in Kiev: http://www.noos.kiev.ua/
------------------ http://www.vnh.org/Admin/Afloat/Afloat01.html This looks interesting. The document appears to deal with handling accidents in the US Navy. It contains lines such as

the OS in NOOS could be Operational or Occupational Safety. NOOS appears to be a title for a US Naval officer with safety responsibilities.
There are links suggested to http://www.norva.navy.mil/navosh/ which is some sort of training college ("industrial hygiene"is one of the courses) - perhaps it is to do with the COMSC (NOOS) Peter already mentioned at http://www.vnh.org/Admin/Afloat/Afloat03.html - which is I guess back to the original sealift idea.
Noos is apparently the name of a cable operator/ISP? of Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux, partially owned by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, an American company.

Or they could be clammies - the Prophet Elron explained the origins of the word "Dianetics" as "Dia - through, noos - mind". Ken Brown
Nasda Ocean Observation System http://www.ioccg.org/thailand/noos.html http://www.aic.nrl.navy.mil/~aha/research/old/iccbr-95-summary.txt has a reference to "Cases as feature values in the NOOS language" - unlikely toi be relevant.
But True Conspiracy theorists will want to connect it to "Summer Noos" on Blackhawk Helicopters at: http://www.nvctc.commnet.edu/conncap/page2.htm Obviously a paramilitary training camp designed to indoctrinate American Youth into the statist grasp of the enforcers of the New World Order. My guess is the Nasda lot. They seem to be into GIS & remote sensing & also work with Unesco & some UK universities, so I guess they could turn up more or less anywhere - though in that case why the heavies? Danes are usually a lot less hassled by tourists wandering around uninvited than, say Russians. Or even Americans.
