(NORFOLK, Va., -- Feb. 27, 2006) - U.S. Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) and the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) have opened registration for this year's two-day industry symposium.

The "Building Knowledge for the Warfighter" 2006 symposium, scheduled for April 4-5, focuses on situational awareness and understanding in joint, coalition, and interagency operational environments.

The intent of the symposium is to raise industry and academia's awareness of USJFCOM's joint operational capability focus areas and to provide a venue for discussion of capability advancements.

The symposium provides the opportunity for the command to share its long-term and wide-ranging capability requirements and serves as a larger companion event to USJFCOM's focused forums which target specific areas of interest according to command officials.

Specifically, this year's topics include: coalition knowledge management; enabling technologies to support joint, coalition, and interagency operations, global perspective: knowledge fusion across multiple and critical domains; coalition battlespace awareness; modeling and simulation; and training.

The symposium, to be held at the Hampton Roads Convention Center, will feature presentations by USJFCOM Commander, Air Force Gen. Lance Smith and Rep. J. Randy Forbes (R-Va.), who is expected to brief outcomes from the Feb. 7 Modeling & Simulation Leadership Summit.

Question and answer sessions will follow each presentation, providing ample industry involvement.

This is the sixth year that USJFCOM and NDIA have worked together on this type of event.
