Description

The Paul Revere Chapter of the Air Force Association, with the assistance of Air Force Materiel Command's Electronic Systems Center (ESC), will sponsor and host an AF Command and Control (C2) Summit to discuss "Integrating Air Force C2 Capabilities by 2005". The C2 Summit will be held at the Sheraton Ferncroft Resort in Danvers, MA on October 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 2001. The agenda will focus on the issues and processes necessary to effectively integrate C2 capabilities for the warfighter. Confirmed keynote speakers include General Ralph Eberhart, CINC, North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Space Command; General John Jumper, Commander, Air Combat Command; General Lester Lyles, Commander, AF Materiel Command; Lt General John Woodward, Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications and Information; and Lt General Leslie Kenne, Commander, ESC. The summit will also feature panel reports/discussions from several different panel chairmen. These panels are tentatively scheduled and will address topics that include the Joint Synthetic Battlespace, CINC Interoperability, Industry Capabilities, Air/Space Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR), Ground C2, Air C2 and C2 Infrastructure (resources, integration, technology). The cost is $375 for Industry and $250 for military/government. AFA members will be entitled to a 10% discount.
