Welcome to the National Fire Control Symposium (NFCS) website. 

The 2010 NFCS will be held 2-5 August 2010, in San Diego, CA at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Hotel.

The theme of the 2010 NFCS is “Joint Fire Control for the Warfighter.”  The NFCS is a tri-service supported event with leadership rotating among the services. The 2010 NFCS (19th annual) is under the leadership of the Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center – Pacific and will be held in San Diego, CA on August 2-5, 2010. 

Unclassified technical sessions and exhibits will be held at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Hotel.  Classified sessions will take place at SPAWAR Systems Center - Pacific. 

The NFCS focuses on current warfighter issues related to integrated fire control, including homeland defense, and challenges applicable for all military services, research and development centers and the defense industry. The Symposium addresses the application and integration of sensing, information interoperability, command and control and weapons used for attacking difficult targets characterized as concealed, time-critical, urban, deeply buried or electronic. In recognition of the heightened threat, emphasis will be placed upon the extension of DoD investments into supporting homeland defense, including opportunities for direct support of CONUS operations. Conducted in a classified environment, the NFCS is the only dynamic forum for discussing the entire kill chain. Technical content includes the presentation, demonstration, discussion, and sharing of advanced concepts required for: force management and pre-mission planning; locating, identifying, targeting, and attacking air/sea/ground targets; performing post-attack evaluations as well as the integration, testing, tactics and training required to maintain our tactical advantage.

 

The NFCS:

  • Is the only tri-service supported symposium concentrated on combat fire control in a classified environment.

  • Brings together members of acquisition [including research and development, and science and technology], operations, and intelligence – the decision makers, researchers, developers, implementers, and users.

  • Is the premier conference for real-world fire control topics for the warfighter and engineer, and attracts the decision makers in this arena.
