Please join us for our 17th year

This event focuses on current warfighter issues and challenges applicable for all military services and the defense industry. This year’s theme, “Full Spectrum Dominance of the Joint Battlespace,” captures the increased challenges faced by our forces as they strive for timely and accurate target elimination in spite of the target’s increasingly mobile and elusive nature. The Symposium addresses the application and integration of sensing, information interoperability, and weapons used for attacking difficult targets characterized as concealed, time-critical, urban, deeply buried or electronic. Conducted in a classified environment, the NFCS is a dynamic forum for presentation, discussion, and sharing of ideas required for: force management and pre-mission planning; locating, identifying, targeting, and attacking air/sea/ground targets; and performing post-attack evaluations.

The conference will be held 28 - 31 July, 2008 in Boston, MA.

This event is:

The only tri-service supported symposium concentrated on combat fire control in a classified environment.
The Symposium that brings together members of acquisition [including research and development, and science and technology], operations, and intelligence – the decision makers, researchers, developers, implementers, and users.
The premier conference for real-world fire control topics for the warfighter and engineer, and attracts the decision makers in this arena.
