COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF MARCH 11,1999 PSA#2300AFCEA SPRING 99 INTELLIGENCE SYMPOSIUM 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).
