Session One

INFORMATION SHARING IN THE MILITARY INTELLIGENCE SPHERE

Based on the US experience in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere (including homeland defense), we have learned a great deal about information sharing requirements at the operational and tactical levels of warfare (including counterinsurgency) for effective joint and coalition military operations. But more remains to be done. This session will explore where the most progress has been made and discuss the remaining gaps.  Speakers will address specific policy recommendations and technology enhancements which would further information sharing goals. The discussion will also cover issues such as: how to ensure interoperability is built in from day one, what can be done in our training environments to create a culture of information sharing, and, recognizing that sharing is bi-directional, what steps are our allies and law enforcement taking to make their information more widely available.

Session Two

“RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE" INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY

The relevance of intelligence to national security decision-makers, whether they are dealing with domestic or foreign aspects of this intertwined problem set, depends upon the Intelligence Community's ability to collaborate down to the individual analyst level, to present all sources of information to those assessing very difficult situations, and to provide that data and resulting knowledge in ways that can be acted upon in a timely manner.  In this session, a diverse set of speakers will address several questions, highlighting opportunities, challenges and success stories:  What is being done to meet the Intelligence Community's "responsibility to provide?"  What is the state of collaboration - - sharing of data, information, and expertise?  Has it moved past the operations of the early adopters and become a mature community practice?  Is inter-disciplinary, inter-agency, international collaboration being achieved?

Session Three

INFORMATION SHARING BETWEEN FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES

Since 9/11, we have wrestled with the complexities of information sharing among federal, state and local law enforcement entities (here and abroad) with varying degrees of success. Solutions have ranged from trying to bring entities under one roof at the federal level (e.g., in the Federal Bureau of Investigation), to the creation of comprehensive local stand-alone capabilities like the New York Police Department. In this session, speakers representing different levels of government will discuss information sharing within the National Capital Region as a case study to see if there are lessons learned in Washington DC that could be applied in other parts of the country.  In addition, the speakers will discuss the challenges that remain to achieve the next level of collaboration.

Session Four

INFORMATION SHARING: FUTURE CHALLENGES

Government organizations and industry across the national and homeland security environment, have spent considerable resources developing/introducing new enabling technology to better support collaboration and coordination.  Too often, however, the technology has not been used to its full potential.  As a consequence, resources are used ineffectively, national and homeland security processes are not significantly improved, and most importantly collaboration across all users is not significantly enhanced.  Better understanding these dynamics is foundational and a key to effectively using new technology and improving information sharing and collaboration.  In this session, Gilman Louie, a member of industry and Dale Meyerrose, the Intelligence Community's Chief Information Officer, will discuss their views on accomplishments to date and what more should be done with technology, policy and security to maximize the payoff to the United States.
