The Erie Canal Chapter (NY) of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA) is proud to announce the Autonomous Networking Technology Symposium to be held on June 13-14, 2017 in Utica, New York. Autonomous networking, contingent upon Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority, opens the door to a wide range of new machine-to-machine (M2M) and manned/unmanned teaming (MUM-T) capabilities. Resiliency of these capabilities depends upon spectrum maneuverability, rapidly deployable connectivity, adaptable information services, and timely situational awareness. This symposium will focus on current state-of-the-art technology developments and emerging joint/coalition needs in support of Multi-Domain Operations. The Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate (AFRL/RI) is participating along with invited stakeholders from:
— The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD)
— The Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA)
— National Spectrum Consortium (NSC)
— The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC)
— Air Combat Command (ACC)
— Air Mobility Command (AMC)
— Global Strike Command (AFGSC)
— The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)
— Office of Naval Research (ONR)
— Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR)
— The Army Research Laboratory (ARL)
— The Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC)
— Other relevant consortia
