ASSOCIATION OF OLD CROWS (AOC) ELECTRONIC WARFARE MODELING AND SIMULATION CONFERENCE POC AOC Convention Department, (703) 549-1600. The Association of Old Crows (AOC) will conduct its third Electronic Warfare Modeling and Simulation Conference March 6 - 7, 1996, at the Mitre Corporation, McLean VA. This follow-on to previous highly successful conferences will update industry and government personnel on revolutionary advances in hardware and software systems and the changes and effects to the EW modeling and simulation (M&S) environment, with a special emphasis on credibility of EW modeling and simulation. Dr. Pat Sanders, Deputy Director, Modeling and Simulation, Software Development, within the Office of the Secretary of Defense, will chair the conference. The conference will address the five most critical categories of issues impacting the credibility of M&S for EW--the appropriate application of M&S/ data available and use; analysts' qualifications; model hierarchies; and standards for models use (beyond W&A). In addition, a briefing will be given on the results of the most extensive polling of the user communities yet undertaken, specifically, the results of a special AOC year-long study with the ``user'' community defined as: acquisition, operations/intelligence, testing and training education. The conference will be unclassified and summaries of the papers will be made available to attendees.
