AFCEA 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, 45 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).
