A retired senior intelligence officer, Robert (Bob) Wallace served in the Central Intelligence Agency from 1971 through 2003. His ï¬eld assignments included that of case officer and Chief of Station. He was appointed Deputy Director of CIA's Office of Technical Service (OTS) in 1995 and elevated to Office Director in 1998. During his time at the OTS, scientists developed systems for agents and case officers to communicate with each other using secret writing, short-range radio, microdots, subminiature cameras and satellites. They designed and built audio bugs, telephone taps and surveillance systems. They made tracking devices, weapons, disguises and fake documents, and conducted experiments in character assessment and even 'thought control.' In other words, Bob was the 'Q' of the CIA. He retired in 2003 with multiple awards including recognition by the CIA's Inspector General, the Intelligence Medal of Merit, the Distinguished Career Intelligence Medal, and two Clandestine Service Donovan Award.
