Classified Panels
MILCOM
2004 will feature the following Panel Sessions in the Classified Program:
Monday, 1 November 2004
Classified – 9:15-11:30
- Overview of Information & Communication Technology Issues Facing DoD
Room: King Hall
- Dr. Linton Wells II, Assistant Secretary of Defense, Networks and
Information Integration (acting)
- The Honorable
John Stenbit, Co-Chair, former Assistant Secretary of Defense,
Networks and Information Integration
Abstract: For over three
years the Department of Defense has been involved in a transformation of
its networks and information infrastructure to support Network Centric
Warfare. As the Global Information Grid Bandwidth Expansion(GIG-BE),
Transformational Satellite Communciations System(TSAT), Joint Tactical
Radio(JTRS), Net-Centric Enterprise Services(NCES) and Information
Assurance programs have gained momentum, transition plans for legacy
systems are being developed to take advantage more rapidly of these new
infrastructure and capabilities. Studies have been commenced to
determine how best to ensure that the benefits of Net Centricity extend
to Coalition Warfare. This panel will provide an overview of the status
of the key programs and some of the most critical issues that exist in
completing the transformation.
Classified – 2:15-4:45
- Threats to the Information Infrastructure – US Only
Room: Glasgow Hall 102
- Brian Shaw, Senior Advisor, Information Operations Center, CIA
Abstract: The recent
National Intelligence Estimate on "Threats to the Information
Infrastructure" will be briefed and discussed.
- Examples & Experiences of Information and Communications
Technology in Coalitions
Room: Mechanical Engineering Auditorium
- Doug Wood, Information and Technology consultant to DoD
Abstract: Examples and experience
with ICT in Coalition situations will the described based on real
coalition operations over the post 10 to 20 years. Trends, challenges,
and opportunities will be identified for improving future systems.
Tuesday, 2 November 2004
Classified – 9:15-11:30
Classified – 2:15-4:45
- Defense Roles & Missions in Homeland Security
Room: Mechanical Engineering Auditorium
- Frank Fernandez, Co-Chair Defense Science Board Task Force on
Homeland Security
Abstract: An overview of the
Systems and Technology Panel of the 2003 Defense Science Task Force on
Defense Roles and Missions for Homeland Security from a communications
and information technology perspective. Topics include areas where DoD
will have lead, where DHS will lead and, most importantly, where there
will be significant overlap. The discussion will include the critical
role of communications and information technology and the dependence on
the private sector, military assistance to civilian authorities and
interoperation of information systems in certain mission areas,
including port security, air defense and defense against chemical
biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive attack.
- GIG End-to-end System Engineering
Room: Ingersoll 122
- Mr. Frank X. Criste
Director of Communications Programs
Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Networks and Information
Integration)
Abstract: The Global Information
Grid (GIG) is comprised of a 'Network of Networks'. It is based on an
IP networking philosophy to facilitate ubiquitous access, scalability,
and information sharing across a broad base of global users. This panel
will highlight the systems engineering and oversight activities
established to successfully implement key portions of the GIG and
explore a subset of technical challenges being addressed by the
Department of Defense.
Wednesday, 3 November 2004
Classified – 9:15-10:15
- Examples of Simulation & War Games
Room: King Hall
Abstract: Examples of simulations
and war games will be presented based on real simulators and exercises
over the past 20 years. The technology trends and capabilities will be
identified along with challenges and opportunities for the future. The
role of simulation and multiplayer gaming in system design, training,
maintaining readiness and evaluating actual events. Projections into the
future of simulations and war games will also be described.
Classified – 10:30-11:30
