Anna M. Gielas, PhD, explores how the human body's biological emissions can be detected and exploited by emerging surveillance technologies in the JSOU Press latest Quick Look, "Biosensing Surveillance Technologies: A Quick Guide to Biological Operational Security." The concept of biological operations security (bio-OPSEC) is introduced as a new protective layer. This concept emphasizes understanding, managing, and deliberately deploying these emissions. Various signatures, including physical, biochemical, electromagnetic, thermal, sound, and DNA release, are detailed. High-exertion biosignatures and data from wearable physiological monitors are also covered. Ultimately, Special Operations Forces (SOF) could leverage bio-OPSEC to disrupt adversary situational awareness, embedding it into routine SOF training to enhance field readiness.

Biosensing Surveillance Technologies: A Quick Guide to Biological Operations Security

To think of the human body merely as present in space is to underestimate its operational footprint. Continuously emitting biological signals across multiple sensory domains, the body proje…
