THE HAGUE CHAPTER CHAPTER - Dec 12, 2007 |
The chapter organized its annual dinner meeting in December. Host for this event was the NCIM Group, which specializes in assisting professionals to manage projects and to develop software in the defense, security and telecommunications sectors. Mr. Kreitmar of NC3A presented the MAJIIC project, which is a multinational effort to maximize the military utility of surveillance and reconnaissance resources. Under this program, standards and technologies are being developed that will allow commanders to tap into real-time data from a number of NATO and national systems. MAJIIC will provide a true network-enabled capability allowing a wide variety of users at different locations and levels of command to access and retrieve data. Since 'Magic' was chosen as the theme for the dinner, Mr. Eswin, President of the World Federation Magic Societies gave a world-class performance with a number of conjuring tricks during the Dinner. Bill Baker's Big Band brought an even more relaxed atmosphere with music from the 1930's and 1940's. |
