COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF MARCH 4,1997 PSA#1794AFCEA 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.
