Hughes, USA (Ret.), President, PMH Enterprises LLC, former Director, Defense Intelligence Agency. Dear Fellow Intelligence Professional: As we enter the 21st century, the AFCEA Intelligence Committee invites you to participate in a review of U.S. strategic intelligence capabilities and an update on the Intelligence Community's (IC) plans for the next five years. This examination is particularly important given the growing uncertainties created by asymmetric and asynchronous threats, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missilery, and the advent of new science and technologies. The U.S. has assumed the mantle of "sole superpower" and increasingly is being called upon to apply the elements of national and allied power to progressively more difficult challenges. Intelligence that provides clarity and foresight, is a necessity. The focus of the symposium is deliberately on strategic intelligence. We want to explore this genre because of its important role in setting the context for national policy and for supporting decision making. The appropriate setting of the symposium, the Central Intelligence Agency campus and the participation of key IC and industry leaders promise to make this a most valuable event. As added bonus, we are pleased to announce that former Secretary of Defense and Chairman of FORBES, Inc., The Honorable Caspar W. Weinberger, will address thesymposium on the evening of April 12th. This symposium represents the beginning of an incremental examination by the AFCEA Intelligence Committee of every facet of intelligence over the next two years. This initial look at strategic issues will be followed by a similar review of operational and tactical intelligence at the fall symposium. Collectively, these symposia will be critical to understanding fully how government and commercial industry must work together to meet national needs. This linkage makes participation in the first symposium even more worthwhile. In addition, 40 companies will exhibit intelligence-related technology. The AFCEA Intelligence Committee looks forward to seeing you at the Spring 2000 AFCEA Intelligence Symposium. Sincerely, LTG Patrick M. Hughes, USA (Ret.), President, PMH Enterprises LLC, former Director, Defense Intelligence Agency, Symposium Chairman. PROGRAM-AT-A-GLANCE. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 2000. Day One Chairman: Dr. William A. Thayer, Senior Manager, Communications and Information Management, Systems Division, The Boeing Company. SESSION ONE: "Strategic Community Management Issues." The Intelligence Community in the 21st Century will be stressed by diverse operational needs, advancing technologies, and continuing resource limitations. The need for a stronger centralized management has been debated, as has the relative balance of authority and responsibility between the Secretary of Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence. This session will provide the perspectives of the current IC leadership. SESSION TWO: "Strategic SIGINT Issues." The SIGINT Community, probably more than any other element of the Intelligence Community, is undergoing a transformation. Lt Gen Michael Hayden, USAF, Director, NSA, who initiated "100 Days of Change" on November 15, 1999, is leading the charge. In this session, attendees will hear his evaluation of how the process is going and in a supporting panel some of the other stakeholders will present their views. SESSION THREE: "Strategic Imagery Issues." The IMINT Community is on the edge of two important issues: how commercial imagery can be used to satisfy its needs and how to process, exploit, and disseminate the vast amounts of imagery data now available. NIMA has the lead in addressing these concerns. In this session, attendees will hear the perspectives of LTG James C. King, USA, Director, NIMA, followed by a panel involving the other major players in this arena. RECEPTION WITH THE HONORABLE CASPAR WEINBERGER. THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 2000. Day Two Chairman:Col Richard M. Atchison, USAF (Ret.). SESSION FOUR: "Strategic HUMINT Issues." As the Information Age matures and technology takes center stage, the role (and even the necessity) of HUMINT has come into question. This session will explore the changing character of covert HUMINT and will address issues ranging from recruiting to cost. SESSION FIVE: "Strategic MASINT Perspectives." In the era when the common critique of intelligence is there's too much information and it's too hard to understand, MASINT has grown in importance. Its products are viewed as consistent, highly reliable, and more easily understood. This session will cover the recent history of this discipline, assess its future, and address the question, "Is MASINT really a distinct INT?" SESSION SIX: "Strategic Intelligence Production." For strategic intelligence production the test has become one of relevance: "Which media, for which customer?" Of equal importance to collecting information is making sense of it in ways it can be used quickly and correctly. This session's speakers will explore the challenges and opportunities the "relevancy standard" imposes on the IC as it seeks to enhance its pertinence in a data-saturated world. SESSION SEVEN: "The User's Perspective." When all is said and done, it is the customer that must be satisfied. This final session will spotlight three users' perspectives to assess whether or not intelligence products have successfully adapted to meet the changing needs of decision-makers at the national level. A detailed program is available at http://www.afcea.org (click on "Spring Intel"). CONFIRMED SPEAKERS: Mr. James J.
