2- INTRODUCTION
- The Missile Defense and Intelligence Communities
Interchange (MDICI) is an SCI-level forum for
specialists to exchange technical data, program
information and experiences of mutual interest.
Initiated three years ago by Michael Waschull
(MDA) and Art Zuehlke (DIA), MDICI sponsorship
now includes ODNI. The third annual meeting
will be held at the Naval Post Graduate School in
Monterey, California, 31 July - 1 August 2007.
This year MDICI is pleased to welcome invited
participants from Australia, Great Britain and
Canada. - MDICI will focus on three areas the first is
Relationships. The enormity of the challenges of
both the ICs Ballistic Missile Technical
Collection (BMTC) system working against an
escalating number of threats and the MDAs need
to mature existing Ballistic Missile Defense
System (BMDS) deployments while reacting to
rapidly emerging threats, are staggering. These
needs are accelerating the synergism between the
two Communities. Areas once thought only to be
either Intel or Missile Defense are now
considered dual use. IC and DoD Seniors will
describe recent successes and events that are
moving the two Communities closer. - The second major focus area is the emergence of
new Threat Systems and Countermeasures. Some of
the new systems could limit our technical and
warning capabilities. Some of the new
countermeasures attempt to directly negate the
efficacy of the BMDS. Experts from around the IC
will share their insights. - The last theme area is Cooperative Programs.
Here MDICI will highlight emerging capabilities
that, while developed for either the IC or DoD,
are finding utility/value to both Communities.
Of particular interest will be the discussions of
our non-US colleagues. - Aside from the details of the individual talks,
the real agenda of MDICI is to engender true
cross-Community communication. It is hoped that
the technical forum, together with informal
contacts at breaks, meals and the Social will
stimulate improved understandings, new ideas and
a genuine enthusiasm to work together.
TIME AND PLACE The Missile Defense And
Intelligence Communities Interchange (MDICI) will
take place at the Naval Post Graduate School
(NPS), Monterey, CA on 31 July -1 August 2007. A

direction of Herrmann Hall where the US flag is
