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!

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
