NEW DATE/LOCATION!

 

Due to sequestration challenges, the date for the 2013 Air Force ISR Industry Day is changing from June 21, 2013 to October 31, 2013. During these difficult financial times, industry days are all the more important.  We at AFCEA are honored to be partnering with the Air Force A2 to present their second industry outreach.

Memo to Industry!

On October 31, 2013, AFCEA Intelligence and the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Headquarters U.S. Air Force, will present the second annual Air Force ISR Industry Day.

Lt Gen Larry James, USAF, Deputy Chief of Staff for ISR; will host this classified forum that will examine the state of ISR in the U.S. Air Force and among its mission partners. 

General Mark Welsh III, USAF, Chief of Staff, USAF, is the invited keynote speaker.

Continued Air Force contribution to global situational awareness in the form of integrated air, space and cyber ISR operations, as well as analysis and data dissemination, requires persistent industry focus on technology development and delivery of ISR capabilities. Speakers in this one-day conference will cover Air Force ISR development, fielding, and funding strategies as well as future requirements.  In addition, speakers will explore themes including initiatives to balance Air Force ISR capabilities to operate across the spectrum of conflict, the Air Force Distributed Common Ground System, ISR for and from cyber, the ISR requirements and acquisition process, and more.  The day will conclude with a panel featuring the day’s speakers addressing questions from the audience. 

Attendees will gain a greater understanding of Air Force ISR vision/direction in a changing fiscal and operational environment, plus a sense of where the private sector can best contribute to global situational awareness across the spectrum of international security demands, including peacetime surveillance and deterrence, counterterrorism, and joint combat operations.

The first Air Force ISR Industry Day sold-out quickly, and we anticipate this one will as well.  We look forward to seeing you at Air Force ISR Industry Day 2013!

 

Sincerely,
