Cebrowski Institute Conversation
Meeting The Challenge Of
Information Sharing Under The Worst
Possible Circumstances
Thursday
24 Sept.
GLASGOW
HALL EAST
Room 203
1200-1300
The United States Government has developed the most
sophisticated Command and Control system in history.
Instantaneous voice, data, and video communications are
available to influence a wide range of military and
diplomatic challenges world-wide, yet we find ourselves
utterly incapable of “talking across the street” in both
domestic and international humanitarian and disaster
relief situations.
The talk will focus on the innovative application, and
combination, of sound common-sense and technology in
overcoming the most difficult communications challenges
of our era.
