Purpose
The purpose of this conference is to provide the experienced COCOM warfighter a platform for addressing what works, what doesn’t, and what is needed over the next five years to achieve strategic information priorities for their missions.
The vision of STRATCOM is for real-time command and control, with information flowing from sensors to warfighters through the Global Information Grid. Continuous operations and intelligence, dynamic planning and real-time execution are enabled by information services providing user-defined operational pictures.
Through transforming to a user-centric information environment STRATCOM will provide a secure enterprise information for use by STRATCOM and regional combatant commands.
Conference objectives:
- further the understanding and knowledge of the global operations environment, including the effects of networks and information on adversaries
- accelerate the transition of mindsets and culture to accommodate the requirements of faster more flexible decision cycles
- examine present programs, directions and issues for network and information operations
- consider the challenges to organizations and systems of command, control and ISR on a global scale with user-defined operational pictures
- understand the attributes of net-centricity that are necessary for successful, affordable operations
