DOD SPACE ARCHITECT ORGANIZATION CALL FOR TECHNICAL INTERCHANGE MEETING The purpose of these sessions is to discuss communication/information services, technologies, and concepts of operation that are potentially applicable 10 to 20 years in the future. This meeting will be held in conjunction with the AFCEA sponsored MILCOM `95 in San Diego, CA, 5-8 November 1995. Members of the space architect organization's milsatcom architecture development team will use this meeting for information gathering, assessing tradeoffs between space based and terrestrial capabilities and as an aid in expanding the realm of architectural possibilities. The DoD Space Architect, established on 29 September 1995, is responsible for developing space architectures across the range of DoD space mission areas, and achieving efficiencies in acquisition and future operations through program integration. The architectural process will integrate future requirements and a broad spectrum of future capabilities (both military and commercial) into candidate architectures; conduct independent analysis to evaluate the ability of each architecture to meet requirements; and make recommendations to the defense acquisition executive. The organization will integrate future concepts and technologies into the potential architectures in such a manner as to make that architecture comprehensive as possible. The organization's immediate task is to further develop a future military satellite communications architecture which encompasses core DoD capabilities, civil and commercial augmentation; and global broadcast. Interested organizations should contact CAPT Matt Rogers, USN, at (703) 416-8485 or (703) 416-8480, by 31 October 1995. Each scheduled firm will be scheduled for a 1 hour presentation with the architect staff.
