COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF FEBRUARY 23,1999 PSA#2288AFCEA INTERNATIONAL SPRING 99 INTELLIGENCE SYMPOSIUM AT CIA On April
21-22, 1999, AFCEA International will host its annual Spring
Intelligence Symposium at the Central Intelligence Agency, Langley,
Virginia. This year's theme is "Retooling Intelligence for
Non-Traditional Threats." A detailed agenda, an "Exhibitor Gallery,"
featuring the current list of companies who will be exhibiting in the
CIA Headquarters, and online registration are available at
http://www.afcea.org. If you prefer, call (703) 631-6250 for
registration material. Attendees must be U.S. citizens and have a Top
Secret SI/TK clearance. Steadily advancing technologies in potentially
hostile hands are forcing the Intelligence Community to address an
increasing array of non-traditional threats, both cyber and physical.
There is a growing school of thought among those in government and
industry familiar with the intelligence process that there is a need to
examine the relevance of traditional intelligence practices. The AFCEA
Spring '99 Intelligence Symposium has been designed by the government
andindustry members of the AFCEA Intelligence Committee to explore
these issues in depth. Starting with a keynote address by CONGRESSMAN
PORTER J. GOSS, Chairman, House Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence (invited), the symposium will bring together public and
private sector experts in a two-day, Top Secret SI/TK forum to focus on
the response to non-traditional threats in the areas of intelligence
collection, analysis, technology innovation, as well as the associated
legal and resource challenges this emerging environment creates. This
symposium has been specifically designed to provide you with the
continuing education you need to stay current in your profession and to
facilitate dialogue between and among the Intelligence Community
components and Industry. In addition, over 40 companies will exhibit
the latest in intelligence-related technology. 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, APRIL 21, 1999. SESSION
ONE: "Reconfiguring National Intelligence Architectures To Collect
Against Non-Traditional Threats" This session will focus on four of the
major intelligence disciplines and examine what each is now able to do
in collecting against non-traditional threats. Speakers will provide
assessments of planned collection architectures within each discipline
and offer an estimate of their effectiveness against the emerging
threats. Additionally, each speaker will include an evaluation of what
new policies, functional approaches, operational procedures, and
advanced technologies may be required to meet the new collection
challenges. Session Chairman: CAPT GREGORY BLACKBURN, USN (Ret.),
Assistant Vice President, Technology Research Group, Science
Applications International Corporation. SESSION TWO: "Analysis
Requirements For New Threats." This session will focus on the tools,
questions, and techniques that will be required as analysts address the
new threats, recognizing that they pose intellectual challenges far
different from those faced during the Cold War. Special emphasis will
be given to new analytical models and new inter-disciplinary skills and
approaches for analyzing on a timely basis cyber and physical threats
to national and global societies and infrastructures. Session Chairman:
MR. TIMOTHY R. SAMPLE, Deputy Staff Director, House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence. THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1999. SESSION THREE:
"Finding The Technologies To Address Non-Traditional Threats." This
session will focus on maturing technologies that will position the
Intelligence Community to deal with the 21st century security
environment. Speakers will focus on three topics: collection
technologies that will enable better characterization of the threats
from nuclear, chemical and biological weapons; analytic tools that will
enable analysts to distill the nuggets from the overwhelming glut of
available data; and information security products that will let the
Community achieve the necessary integration and agility. Session
Chairman: DR. RUTH A. DAVID, President and Chief Executive Officer,
ANSER. SESSION FOUR: "Legal Challenges To Intelligence." The
intelligence and law enforcement communities are only beginning to
grapple with a growing number of legal issues arising from the
emergence of new threats, particularly in the cyber area. Both
domestically and internationally, jurisdictional, investigative and
collection issues are being reexamined in light of these growing
threats. During this session, a panel of legal and national security
experts will address three hypothetical information warfare scenarios
against the United States and evaluate response options. Session
Chairman:MR. RICHARD J. WILHELM, Principal, Booz, Allen and Hamilton.
SESSION FIVE:"Resources Roundtable." Competition for scarce
intelligence budget dollars remains a key issue. Addressing new threats
-- some of which remain potential rather than current -- must compete
with ongoing intelligence missions. Executive and Congressional branch
officials in this final session will discuss the priority within the
United States Government on retooling intelligence to meet the
non-traditional threats and the expected resources likely to be
available for this purpose. Session Chairman: DR. MARK M. LOWENTHAL,
President and Chief Operating Officer, Open Source Solutions (OSS USA).
