In these presentations, the role intelligence plays in supporting
information superiority will be emphasized. Session Chairman: Col

their missions. This session will explore what is being done by OSD/C3I

maintain information superiority. In addition, intelligence agency
representatives will discuss what they are doing to ensure the

superiority. Session Chairman: Dr. Linton Well, II, Principal Deputy

"The Service Battle Labs: The Solutions for Information Superiority."
The rapid evolution of information technology trends plays a dominant
role in guiding the Service battle labs as they address the
requirements to satisfy information superiority. This session will look
at what each of the battle labs is doing, how their approaches differ
and where there are opportunities for Industry. In addition, the labs
will report on how they are using commercially available hardware and
software to meet their needs. Session Chairman: Mr. Christopher Haakon,
