It Is The Soldier
It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Charles Michael Province, US Army

Combat effectiveness in an evolving battlespace requires greater warfighter capabilities. Central among these are information technology, clothing, protective systems, and integrated targeting and threat detection technologies. As DoD and OSD provide greater funding for warfighter systems, understanding the requirements and complexities of systems integration is integral to further systems development.

IDGA’s Warfighter Systems Integration will provide insight on the latest requirements, policies, and integration challenges in developing Soldier-as-a-System (SaaS).

Topics to be discussed include:

Soldier-as-a-System (SaaS)
Subsystems integration
USA and USMC integration efforts
Systems development for urban operations
Ground and SATCOM systems integration in SaaS
Operational requirements
IHAS development
Threat mitigation and prosecution
Integrated communication
Weapons systems development
Survivability and medical technology development
Combined operations and interoperability

These in-depth need-to-know briefings from combat operators, program managers, developers, and maintainers will provide insights on current development, projected capabilities, and requirements. The event will deliver the latest developments in warfare capabilities and the ability to discuss and assess the issues and technologies therein.

Distinguished speakers include:

Brigadier Gen Ronald J. Johnson, USMC – Director, Operations Division, Plans, Policies, & Operations Department at HQMC
Colonel (Ret) James Lasswell, USMC – Technical Director & Head, Office of Science & Technology Integration, Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory
Colonel John F. Kragh Jr, MD, MC, USA – Orthopaedic Surgeon, US Army Institute of Surgical Research, Bone & Soft Tissue Trauma Research Program
