MILCOM II. Military Computers and Software. Finding a Partnership - Department of Defense/Industry/Congress for the Information Age. Proceedings of Conference, Arlington, Virginia on 27-28 January 1983.
Abstract
MILCOM I (January 1982) brought into focus from policy and management perspectives potential benefits from the near and midterm use of new technologies in military computer systems. It also brought to the surface a debate between whether future delay in implementing proposed new standards is intolerable or whether implementation further locks DOD into obsolescent equipment. MICOM I raised the level of awareness of just how heated the debate can become. Differences were not papered over. While common objectives were recognized, consensus on an approach to resolution was not arrived at. With this situation as its baseline, MILCOM II addressed the next logical step - Finding a Partnership - Department of Defense/Industry/Congress- for the Information Age. The field of topics was expanded to cover logistics, technology insertion, and competition and was introduced by three eminent speakers to set the framework of top-level Congressional, Department of Defense and Industry concerns. Questions were posed to panels and panel members to draw out the widest offering of views on the panel topics. This report condenses the attempt of the symposium to reflect issues, identify interrelationships, and suggest ways by which this partnership can be strengthened.
