Memo to Industry:

On November 2, 2009, Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Gary Roughead, USN, announced a merger of the Navy N-2 and N-6 functions, plus other Navy capabilities, into an Information Dominance Corps and a consolidated N2/N6 organization.  VADM Jack Dorsett, USN, was assigned as the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Dominance and the Director of Naval Intelligence.  This fundamental, cross-cutting organizational and operational change is designed to ensure Navy prominence in the fields of Intelligence, Cyber Warfare, Command and Control and Information & Knowledge Management.

The intent of the day is to open a dialogue with industry.  In that regard, the sessions will answer key questions:  How will the consolidation work, what will change, where are the priorities, and what will be needed from the private sector? 

AFCEA Intelligence and the Naval Intelligence Professionals are honored that VADM Dorsett has asked us to help him put on a one-day classified conference where he and members of his senior staff will address those questions. 

On June 22, 2010, AFCEA Intelligence and the Naval Intelligence Professionals will present Navy Information Dominance Industry Day in the Heritage Conference Center, Chantilly, VA.  The event will be classified (Secret – U.S. citizens only).

Speakers from the Information Dominance Community will discuss the core components of the Navy’s strategy for achieving information dominance and explore how the public and private sectors can work with the Navy to ensure that it has both state of the art capabilities and avoids technological surprise.  Program sessions will cover Decision Superiority, Maritime Ballistic Missile Defense Command and Control, Maritime ISR, Undersea Dominance, Navy Cyber, and Information Dominance R&D.  The final session will be an Information Dominance panel moderated by VADM Dorsett.

Attendees will leave with not only a greater understanding of the Information Dominance Community, but with a sense of what concepts, approaches, applications, skill sets, and technologies are most likely to impact intelligence and national security as it fulfills its vision of becoming one of the “main batteries” of the US Navy.

We hope to see you at Navy Information Dominance Industry Day on June 22, 2010!
