Lewis Shepherd Bio 2006
Mr. Shepherd has had an impresive career so far! From his Bio, it states that Lewis Shepherd is currently (Senior Executive Service / Defense Intelligence Senior Level) the DIA Senior Technical Officer and Chief, Requirements & Research Group (R²). It further states that Lewis Shepherd leads R&D (research and development) for next generation
technological solutions for the Defense Intelligence enterprise comprising DIA and the Department of Defense Intelligence Community.
Very cool! Can you imagine if other IC execs did the same thing? How’s that for being open? Way to go Mr. Shepherd! Now, all he needs is a public blog! 
So do you think that pretty soon many IC execs will be online?

Annual Defense Spectrum Summit 2006
From the main conference page:
The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration and the Joint Staff Director for Command, Control, Communications, and Computer Systems are again cosponsoring the annual DoD Spectrum Summit. This year’s event titled: “Spectrum Transformation: Full Partnership” is scheduled December 4, 2006 through December 8, 2006. The conference will be held in Annapolis, Maryland at the Doubletree Hotel. A Classified Panel is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, December 6, 2006, at the nearby ARINC facilities. This year’s event will underscore the importance of our community working together to identify and manage the critical spectrum requirements both within the military community, as well as those within the broader domestic and international arenas. The conference provides an opportunity for a useful and up-to-date exchange of information between representatives of industry, academia, government, the members of our military services and the international community. Broad U.S. and international participation is encouraged and solicited.
The purpose of the annual Defense Spectrum Summit is to provide a forum for the Federal community, the International community and industry to discuss issues and share ideas for solutions – either policy or technical. The summit is designed to bring together these diverse stakeholders to focus on the urgent need for improved management and use of the electromagnetic spectrum which will lead to greater access when required. Bringing together senior leadership and other government, industry and international stakeholders provides an opportunity to elevate these critical spectrum access issues and to propose solutions and develop, at a high level, an agreed upon strategy and action plan for the coming year.
The first two days are DoD closed sessions being led by the JS to focus on operational issues.
This conference is to provide an opportunity for participants to discuss DoD, FCC, Department of Commerce and Industry perspectives on spectrum management policy, requirements, and research & development and to learn about international innovations in spectrum engineering. There will be a unique opportunity to interact and network with representatives from all branches of the military, federal government agencies, manufacturers/contractors, and technology service providers.
Attendees will include Directors or Deputy/Vice Directors with the following responsibilities:
• Program Management
• Sensors
• ISR Space Systems
• Spectrum Policy and Planning
• Electronic Communications
• Satellite Operations
• Antenna Systems
This year’s summit will be sponsored by AFCEA International for organizing and administration. AFCEA International thanks IEEE COMSOC for lending its technical expertise to program development.

Building the IA Offensive Line – By Mickey McCarter – Military Information Technology
The Department of Defense has been making significant progress in recent months to implement various information assurance initiatives, according to DoD Information Assurance Director Robert Lentz.
One of the most promising activities that Lentz refers to is the Cross Domain Management Office, which was created with Dale Meyerrose and the Office of the DNI/CIO.
Let’s see how this works out… One would hope that their would be less redundancy at the very least…
