Read more about GIS and Remote Sensing.

In order to manage the complex issues affecting the nation's MPAs, managers often turn to technology for help in understanding and analyzing the resources and environments of their MPAs. MPA managers and scientists are increasingly using geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing to map and analyze the resources under their jurisdiction.

Background Perspectives:

 

Testing JCL (for an undergrad B-School Simulation Game Driver) disrupted the campus network!

gave me valuable insights about having "built-in" Integrity Assurance (IA) protocols ...

 

(B) My duties at FOCCPAC-Kunia (1968-71) involved prototyping "Sea Surveillance Systems"

that "blended" sensitive current intelligence sources with current operations monitoring!

JCS Task Force 130 & USCG-RCC14 operations supporting NASA's Apollo Capsule Recovery.

(D) I declined my 1971 appointment to Naval Postgraduate School http://www.NPS.edu

CincPacFlt-JCS "censors" rejected our post-Apollo-13 (ASW-NCAPS feedback) proposal

to reduce GIGO-Mindsets with a new Reported Area Position Exception (RAPE) report.

(E) Automatic configuration exception detection for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

was prototyped as InspectorScan(sm) while I was Shavlik Technologies' Product Manager!

As a USNR drilling reservist (1971-1981),

I got "Ops Research" experience evaluating Unisys NTDS Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS)

operating under "high-stress" crisis management conditions using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

 

 

During that timeframe, we supported the Minnesota Industrial Security Awareness Council (MISAC). It served as a model for the Minnesota FEB/FBI InfraGard Alliance Chapter(s) since implemented on an inter-regional scale!
