Lockheed Martin will host a media briefing at the upcoming Air Force Association Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Florida at the Buena Vista Palace hotel on February 8. The presentation will focus on the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) Integration Backbone (DIB). This common net- centric infrastructure links warfighters with all the DoD intelligence assets within the DCGS enterprise, which is the family of systems and programs that deliver intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities and data.

  What:        Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) Integration Backbone
               Lockheed Martin has provided Air Force commanders at
               different locations with immediate access to each other's
               intelligence imagery and services, by the early fielding of
               the DIB. Users of previously "stove-piped" autonomous
               intelligence databases now have access to the intelligence
               they need, when they need it

  When:        Thursday, February 8, 2007
               11:00 am to 12:00 pm
               Lunch will be provided

  Where:       AFA WARFARE SYMPOSIUM
               Westminster Room (near Lockheed Martin's booth #102)
               Buena Vista Palace Hotel
               1900 Buena Vista Drive
               Lake Buena Vista, FL

  Who:         Mark Grablin, Director, Lockheed Martin ISR Ground Systems

  Background:  As an integrated component of the DoD information grid, DCGS
               serves as the Air Force's primary architecture to deliver
               direct and indirect ISR information to the Joint Force Air
               Combatant Commander. The DCGS web supports the rapid
               identification, acquisition and destruction of targets,
               cinching tight the chain between sensor and shooter. Through
               DCGS, warfighters can perform their function with greater
               speed and ease by accessing real-time data from national,
               joint, interagency and multi-national assets.
