Dear Colleague,

IDGA’s Force Tracking and Combat ID Summit is now the First Annual Command andControl Summit! The event will address the policy, doctrine, requirements, and materieldevelopment for command and control systems. This joint service conference will provide you withwarfighter needs assessments, battle command migration timelines, and current development ofC2 systems.

The goal of the Command and Control Summit is to further the development of essentialcommand and control capabilities in support of the battlefield commander.

Don’t miss the best opportunity of the year to:+ Hear the latest acquisition, development, and fielding efforts for command andcontrol systems+ Obtain warfighter requirements for future systems+ Discover breakthrough capabilities for effective combat ID and improvedbattlespace awareness

This year’s event will emphasize the efforts of joint military services to improve command andcontrol on the ground, in the air, and at sea. Our objective is to bring forward-thinking militaryand civilian personnel together in one place to share successful initiatives and further developessential capabilities in support of the warfighter.

Take the time now to block off June 24-26, 2009 in your calendar, and reserve your place amongyour peers and key leaders in the C2 community. Register yourself and your team today online athttp://www.idga.org/us/commandandcontrol or by phone at 800.882.8684.I look forward to meeting you in June!

Testing and Evaluation of Advanced C2 Systems

10:30am – 12:30pm

This session will provide practical, hands-on information toaddress command and control concepts, systems, and test &evaluation. Get an overview of technical elements ranging fromsoftware applications to communications systems. Develop anunderstanding of how technology fits within the network centriccommand and control enterprise.

What will be covered?• Challenges and solutions to testing in distributed, networked

environments• Test and evaluation in cyberspace and information security• Measures and testing of agile C2 and network centric operations

How you will benefit:• Understand how advanced technologies enable new

warfighting concepts • Learn techniques for improved network centric enterprise

systems engineering and test & evaluation • Discover cutting edge commercial technologies and systems

developed for the military to provide connectivity at all levels ofcommand and operational environments

Dr. Fred WrightChief Engineer, Electronic Systems Lab,Georgia Tech Research Institute

The Center of Excellence in Command, Control, Communications, Computing and Intelligence at George Mason University inAssociation with the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement is pleased to present an extended hands-onlearning session as part of this year’s workshop day.

Latest tools and techniques for testing and evaluation of C2 systems

Battle Management Language - Enhancing C2 through Interoperability

1:00pm – 5:00pm

Current plans, orders, requests, and reports contain a significantamount of text based information. They are riddled withambiguity and overlapping definitions. Resulting problems are:• Reduced mission accomplishment • Reduced training effectiveness • Increased costs.

The Battle Management Language (BML) is being developed as anunambiguous language for command and control of live,simulated, and future robotic forces conducting military operations.• BML will provide for situational awareness and a shared,

common operational picture• BML can also be applied to Cyber Warfare, Homeland Defense,

and Societal Security.

How you will benefit:• Achieve an understanding of BML and the many BML activities

and plans that address Army, Joint and Coalition requirementsfor C2

• Improve training effectiveness • Reduce costs
