AUTOMATED ISR & BATTLE MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM February 12-13, 2019 Mary M. Gates Learning Center, Alexandria, VA ENHANCING ISR CAPABILITIES TO WIN IN A MULTI DOMAIN ENVIRONMENT 2019 Speakers Include: MG Gary Johnston, USA Commanding General, INSCOM Kenneth Bray, SES Acting Associate Deputy Chief of Staff for ISR, HQAF Steven Wert, SES PEO Digital, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Brigadier Phil Clark British Army, Deputy Director of Intelligence, CENTCOM Symposium Agenda autoisr.dsigroup.org
The 2019 Automated ISR & Battle Management Symposium will focus on optimizing and expediting ISR asset tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination to support critical DoD and IC operations. Program Design & Goal: As technology continues to evolve and our enemies, both state and non-state actors, reduce our advantage in this field, the demand for newer and better ISR and battle management systems continues to increase. The future fight will be one that looks far different from those the US has fought before and the development of efficient and accurate ISR systems will be paramount in these fights. Emerging technologies, such as, machine learning and new forms of automated ISR that can influence all aspect of the modern battlefield will provide the IC, DoD, and the warfighter the tools to efficiently and effectively complete their missions. The 2019 Symposium will address the continuing demand for ISR capability and how the Services and IC will deliver this critical capability accurately and efficiently to the Warfighter. DSI s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposiums' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in human and technical intelligence analysis from ISR leaders to key policy-makers across military and civilian offices. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers. Operating Guidelines: DSI s Symposium directly supports IC and DoD priorities by providing a conduit for officials to efficiently reach audiences outside of their respective offices that directly impact their department's mission success, at no charge to the government, and in an efficient expenditure of time. DSI s Symposium will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission. * This Symposium is open and complimentary to all IC, DoD and Federal employees and is considered an educational and training forum. (Industry and academia members are charged a fee of attendance) This Symposium is CLOSED TO PRESS / NO RECORDINGS General Target Audience: ISR Capability developers, Industry Solution Providers, Research and Development Organizations, Intelligence Agencies Interested in Best Practices, Service Intelligence Commands and Directorates, ISR Requirements Directorates, Combatant Command Intelligence Directorates, Homeland Security and Law Enforcement Intelligence Officials, Advanced ISR/ Persistent Surveillance solution providers - Creating ISR systems capable of enhancing C2 and battle management in a peer to peer fight - Reducing the workload of intelligence analysts through the use of emerging technologies Specific topics to be discussed include: - Exploiting machine learning to aid data analysis - Increasing the modern warfighters access to actionable intelligence - Challenges faced, and growth of ISR in a Multi-Intelligence, Multi-Domain battlefield - Utilizing advances in ISR to ensure all sectors of a battlefield are collected on
