This course provides an in-depth understanding of current and future military satellite communications. The military requirements and the associated technologies are addressed. The communication aspects of the system (e.g. modulation, coding, and multiple-access) are emphasized and the key problems of communicating in a jamming and/or nuclear environment are presented. Internet protocol (IP) and IP over Satellite (IPoS) are addressed showing this protocol's strengths and weaknesses as a facilitator of Net-Centric warfare. All of the current and future military and commercial satellite systems are described including MILSATCOM's evolution. The topics provide a comprehensive perspective of satellite communications for military applications. The course is evenly balanced between general principles and discussions of specific systems. The course will include demonstrations of various satellite communications equipment. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00-05:00 San Diego, CA San Diego, CA http://www.afcea.org/education/details.cfm?course_number=503-12-SDCA-1 The course has undergone a major revision to prepare participants in developing and evaluating architectures that are conformant to DODAF 2.0. The design of architectures has become a fundamental component of the architecture-based systems engineering approach required by DoD and other government agencies. The architectures should be described in accordance with the current version (2.0) of the DoD Architecture Framework. The course consists of lectures, interactive sessions, and work sessions in which participants, organized in small teams, work through an example problem and produce an architecture from which selected models and viewpoints described in DODAF 2.0 compliant form are generated. This course focuses on architecture design using a systems engineering approach based on object orientation with particular emphasis on service orientation. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used as the architecture description language. In addition to the development of a DoDAF compliant architecture description that is Fit-for-Purpose, the derivation of executable models from the architecture data will be discussed and their role in architecture evaluation will be presented. The approach will then be applied to the evaluation of system-of-systems architecture and federated SOA architectures. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00-05:00 Washington, DC Washington, DC http://www.ndia.org/meetings/2090/Pages/default.aspx The Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) regularly reviews current project status, assesses emerging threats, identifies new user requirements, and selects proposals for new research and development projects to meet those requirements.

The main goal of the workshop is to strengthen the dialogue between these two groups of people, which is currently perceived to be quite weak. Ultimately, we aim to make a start on bridging the divide between what academic cryptographers believe should be the goals of cryptographic protocol design and what is actually deployed in the real world. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00-05:00 Monterey, CA Monterey, CA http://www.ndia.org/meetings/2530/Pages/default.aspx The annual Tactical Wheeled Vehicles Conference is the only one held annually that is specific to the military’s Tactical Wheeled Vehicle community.

As major combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan diminish, SOF and GPF will face new challenges. A continuing threat from global terrorists, popular uprisings and a rapidly shifting political landscape, the coming need to employ military forces in small teams across vast distances, and the likelihood of declining budgets all require SOF and GPF leaders to develop new synergies between their forces and with our Interagency partners. Speakers will discuss increasing interoperability between SOF and GPF, how to enhance the inherent capabilities of the SOF warrior, and how SOF, its enablers, and Interagency partners support global objectives in the new world dynamic. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00-05:00 San Diego, CA San Diego, CA http://events.ubm.com/event/1289/national-security-technology-expo NST Expo 2012 is an exhibition and conference dedicated to promoting international innovation and technology to protect US maritime, airport and land borders in the fight against international terrorism and criminal activity and the threat of chemical and biological attack.

The Center for Advanced Logistics Management is pleased to host this event as a part of its on-going research and education efforts. ASU is partnered with Albany Technical College. DoD relies heavily on private-sector infrastructure for its supply chains. While supply chains move materials through normal distribution channels (air, sea and land-based shipping), supply chain information travels on the Internet. Today we know that security and resiliency in information and communications infrastructures is insufficient, resulting in serious vulnerabilities for supply chains. Agencies and departments are developing policies to keep a more watchful eye on vendors, partners, and others in their cyber supply chains and adopt best practices for mitigating risks across their systems and processes to protect your system against backdoor access or other deliberate mischief. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00-05:00 Washington, DC Washington, DC http://fbcinc.com/event.aspx?eventid=Q6UJ9A00RLUR FBC is excited to announce GSA's 2012 ICAM Workshop and Expo.

Valid, measureable, realistic and achievable requirements establish the foundation for successful materiel development programs. Experiences gained through years of testing and evaluating successful and unsuccessful systems provide the T&E community with a unique perspective on what constitutes valid, measureable (i.e. testable), realistic and achievable requirements. The Honorable Dr. Michael Gilmore, Director, Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E), in a memorandum for DOT&E staff, established four major initiatives including an initiative for the T&E community to “engage early to improve requirements.” Specifically, he directs DOT&E staff members and the greater T&E community to “…work to assure that systems have realistic, relevant and testable requirements and identify to DOT&E leadership for action those programs that don’t.” text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00-05:00 Crystal City, VA Crystal City, VA http://afei.org/events/2A06/Pages/default.aspx This year's theme is "Doing business in a Global Economy: What is a Trusted Supply Chain?"

This trend has been exacerbated by the adoption of communications and information technologies that have created a highly inter-connected world and net-enabled organizations. As a result, we increasingly face the unexpected, unanticipated, and unfamiliar. Agility, long a desirable quality to have, has become an imperative. The most recent CCRP publication, The Agility Advantage, provides the theory of C2 Agility. This year’s symposium will review the need for agility from various perspectives and explore efforts to improve the agility of our C2 organizations, processes, and systems. Questions, such as How would C2 be approached differently for conventional warfare and COIN?, What are the implications for supporting systems?, and How can we demonstrate through simulations and fields trials the value of C2 Agility?, will be explored in plenary presentations and panels as well as in track discussion periods. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00-05:00 Austin, TX Austin, TX http://www.sans.org/forensics-incident-response-summit-2012/ This Summit will focus on high quality and extremely relevant content as well as panel discussions in Digital Forensics and Incident Response.
