This is the premier issue of a new magazine, the Defense Standardization Program Journal. After 17 years of producing an excellent and informative Standardization Newsletter, the Defense Standardization Program Office decided that it wanted to provide an enhanced forum for not only news, but for more in-depth articles examining various standardization topics, and for featuring success stories from the field of standardization.

Advances in technology, like any change, offer both great challenges and great opportunities. One only has to look around to see the enormous impact that technological advances have had on all of our lives. Technological discovery, development, and application make our daily lives better, if not always less complicated. Bringing technology to fruition is a long and complex process. As B.F. Skinner said, "the real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do." Technology can't be applied to real problems unless men and women figure out how to use it effectively. This issue of Defense Standardization Program Journal illustrates a few examples of the practical application of technology to real problems and issues faced in the Department of Defense.
In this issue of the Defense Standardization Program Journal, we are focusing on standardization efforts underway at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It is my pleasure to turn over my column in this issue to Mr. Jay Cohen, Under Secretary for Science and Technology at DHS, and Mr. Bert Coursey, DHS's Standards Executive. ...Gregory E. Saunders, Director, Defense Standardization Program Office.
