AFCEA SPRING '97 INTELLIGENCE SYMPOSIUM, 9-10 APRIL 97 SPEAKER UPDATE AND EXPANDED PROGRAM INFORMATON! AFCEA's Spring '97 Intelligence Symposium: "Intelligence Strategy 2010: Perspectives on the Future," will be held on April 9-10, 1997, at the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center, Defense Intelligence Agency, Bolling Air Force Base, DC. Despite many recent decisions and much progress within the Intelligence Community, there still isn't a clear "final" picture of how all the pieces fit together to make a whole or how that whole will function to meet an increasingly rich and diverse threat. AFCEA's spring symposium is the next in a series of Top Secret SI/TK "snapshot" examinations of the U.S. intelligence apparatus as it evolves. Program co-chairmen Lieutenant General James R. Clapper, Jr., USAF (Ret.), former Director, Defense Intelligence Agency; and Major General Richard J. O'Lear, USAF (Ret.), former USAF Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, have put together a comprehensive program that addresses this continuing "work-in-progress." Attendees will hear foremost authorities candidly discuss the evolution from four unique vantage points: The Service and Joint perspective, the Intelligence Community perspective, the Congressional perspective, and the Industry perspective. PROGRAM DETAILS: KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Ms. Joan A. Dempsey, Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence SESSION ONE: "BATTLESPACE DOMINANCE: THE JOINT AND SERVICE PERSPECTIVE." This session addresses what the Joint Staff and Service Intelligence Chiefs see as the opportunities and challenges in supporting the 21st Century warfighter and in providing battlespace dominance. In doing so, it will seek to answer the following questions: What are the needs industry can address? How do we ensure the "Jointness Imperative" will be met as the services develop intelligence systems and technology for Battlefield Dominance? What is needed to meet information superiority needs and challenges of offensive and defensive information warfare,and how does it affect intelligence collection, processing and dissemination? How does all this play into Joint Vision 2010? What is the impact of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency on the timely dissemination of intelligence to battlespace commanders? SESSION OVERVIEW: Brig Gen Lawrence A. Mitchell, USAF (Ret.), Session Chairman Director, Recce and C4I Programs Raytheon E-Systems. THE ARMY PERSPECTIVE: Lieutenant General Paul E.

This session will review and evaluate, briefly, the major proposals that emerged and the legislation that was enacted in 1995-1996.
