The 2009 NFCS (18th annual) was held under the leadership of the Air Force Research Laboratory and took place in Las Vegas, NV, on August 3-6, 2009. The classified sessions will took place at the Red Flag facility on Nellis Air Force Base. The unclassified sessions and exhibits were located at the newly opened Aliante Station Casino + Hotel, just minutes from the Las Vegas strip and Nellis Air Force Base. About the National Fire Control Symposium 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.
This Event: 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.
