Gewis

From 911Encyclopedia:

As announced in February 2003, the "Global Early Warning Information System," (GEWIS) is being built by the National Communications System (NCS), a Defense agency established in 1962 to ensure that the government has access to adequate communications systems during national emergencies. It is unrelated to the Total Information Awareness (->)program, a planned Defense Department program that would actively mine databases worldwide to uncover terrorist and other threats. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3409-2003Jan30.html
