INTRODUCTION The Missile Defense and Intelligence Communities Interchange (MDICI) is an SCI-level forum for specialists to exchange technical data, program information and experiences of mutual interest. Initiated three years ago by Michael Waschull (MDA) and Art Zuehlke (DIA), MDICI sponsorship now includes ODNI. The third annual meeting will be held at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey, California, 31 July - 1 August 2007. This year MDICI is pleased to welcome invited participants from Australia, Great Britain and Canada. MDICI will focus on three areas; the first is Relationships. The enormity of the challenges of both the IC’s Ballistic Missile Technical Collection (BMTC) system working against an escalating number of threats and the MDA’s need to mature existing Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) deployments while reacting to rapidly emerging threats, are staggering. These needs are accelerating the synergism between the two Communities. Areas once thought only to be either Intel or Missile Defense are now considered “dual use”. IC and DoD Seniors will describe recent successes and events that are moving the two Communities closer. The second major focus area is the emergence of new Threat Systems and Countermeasures. Some of the new systems could limit our technical and warning capabilities. Some of the new countermeasures attempt to directly negate the efficacy of the BMDS. Experts from around the IC will share their insights. The last theme area is Cooperative Programs. Here MDICI will highlight emerging capabilities that, while developed for either the IC or DoD, are finding utility/value to both Communities. Of particular interest will be the discussions of our non-US colleagues. Aside from the details of the individual talks, the real “agenda” of MDICI is to engender true cross-Community communication. It is hoped that the technical forum, together with informal contacts at breaks, meals and the Social will stimulate improved understandings, new ideas and a genuine enthusiasm to work together. TIME AND PLACE The Missile Defense And Intelligence Communities Interchange (MDICI) will take place at the Naval Post Graduate School (NPS), Monterey, CA on 31 July -1 August 2007. A detailed map of the NPS, showing the location of the meeting hall and other facilities, is attached. ATTENTION TO COLORS As guests of the Naval Postgraduate School, conference attendees should observe “Attention to Colors”. The National Anthem will play each day at 0800. Civilian and military personnel who are outside the buildings on base are requested to stop walking and remain silent and face in the general direction of Herrmann Hall where the US flag is flown. Military personnel are requested to salute. Civilians should place their right hand over their heart. Moving vehicles are requested to stop. Your observation of “Attention to Colors” pays respect to both your country and customs of the DoD facility providing support for our symposium. A similar event takes place at the end of the day. TRANSPORTATION Visitor parking is not available at the NPS. The Hyatt Regency Hotel is located within walking distance of the Sloat Ave/9th St. Gate. A shuttle bus will be available to transport attendees between the hotel and the NPS, Glasgow Hall. The bus will run from one hour prior to the meeting start time to 10 minutes after meeting start time. Bus boarding will be on a first come, first served basis.
