AFCEA FALL '97 INTELLIGENCE SYMPOSIUM SPEAKER UPDATE: The AFCEA Fall '97 Intelligence Symposium will be held on October 22-23, 1997, at the Defense Intelligence Analysis Center, Defense Intelligence Agency, Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, D.C. The theme of this Top Secret SI/TK event is "Technological Responses to Changing Intelligence Priorities." KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Mr. Keith R. Hall, Director, The National Reconnaissance Office. SYMPOSIUM CONTEXT: Today we are in an era where the national infrastructure is threatened more by chemical and biological terrorism than attack by ships, planes, or soldiers. At the same time, we are achieving technological advancements at a pace never before experienced. The Intelligence Community is at the forefront of many of these advancements. The AFCEA Fall '97 Intelligence Symposium is the next in a series of Top Secret SI/TK examinations of the U.S. intelligence apparatus. The focus of this two-day event is on technology and the way it is changing Intelligence support to decision makers and responses toincreasingly diverse threats. With sessions dedicated to the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), attendees will see how these two organizations and others are developing and using technology to counter an expanded threat base. They will gain insights into the challenges these agencies face and where they need help from Industry. They will hear about new requirements for advance technology to deal with chemical and biological terrorism. They will participate in a special session on the connections between Industry, Congress and the Budget where the dollars are and where they are likely to be spent. IN ADDITION, OVER 30 COMPANIES WILL EXHIBIT THE LATEST IN INTELLIGENCE-RELATED TECHNOLOGY IN A SEPARATE EXHIBIT AREA. DOD APPROVAL: "The Department of Defense finds this event meets the minimum regulatory standards for attendance by DoD employees. This finding does not constitute a blanket approval or endorsement for attendance. Individual DoD component commands or organizations are responsible for approving attendance of its DoD employees based on mission requirements and DoD regulations." PROGRAM-AT-A-GLANCE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1997. SESSION ONE: "THE CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL THREAT: DETECTION, PROTECTION, RESPONSE." The Intelligence Community, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy are on the spot to increase the security of critical facilities and personnel on the battlefield and within the United States and to provide real-time identification of agents and toxins in the event of a chemical or biological attack. Research and development on advanced technologies to meet these and related needs is underway, but significant requirements remain to be addressed. This session will highlight some of the work in this area currently under development and identify opportunities to fill the technology gaps. SESSION TWO: "NRO TECHNOLOGIES: REVOLUTIONIZING GLOBAL RECONNAISSANCE." As new threats emerge and existing ones become harder to collect against, the satellite reconnaissance community must find innovative technologies and systems that expand the frontiers of collection, exploitation and processing. In addition, future war fighting requirements will open new vistas for operational support and will include satellite technology which, in near-real time, can detect, locate, track and target anything of significance in the battlespace. Breakthroughs in revolutionary sensors and communications capabilities will rely significantly on commercial technologies, smaller satellites, and best business practices. These and other topics such as space communications, data fusion, and the global grid will be discussed by senior NRO officials in this session. TECHNOLOGY RECEPTION: Enjoy great food and drink, view the latest intelligence-related technology, and network with other Intelligence Community professionals! THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1997. SESSION THREE: "NATIONAL IMAGERY AND MAPPING AGENCY: THE PAST AND THE FUTURE." This session will review the progress made by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) since its inception in October 1996 in providing geospatial and imagery information to warfighters as well as to national consumers. RADM Jack Dantone, Director, NIMA, and key members of his staff will outline accomplishments to date, describe future plans and priorities and highlight challenges yet to be overcome. SESSION FOUR: "INDUSTRY, CONGRESS, AND THE BUDGET." Superior technology has long been one of the major advantages enjoyed by the U.S. Intelligence Community. Maintaining this technological edge depends, ultimately, on the willingness of Congress and Industry to make both separate and joint commitments to continue to provide the most advanced technologies that can respond to changing intelligence priorities. This session explores where Congress and Industry see the most promising technologies and most imposing challenges.
