2. Dear Colleague:
Welcome to IDGA’s inaugural event devoted to the challenges and opportunities
of Integrated Air and Missile Defense. It has been more than a decade since the
September 11th terrorist attacks on the U.S. Homeland. These attacks forced U.S.
Armed Forces to prepare for a different type of warfare against terrorist organizations
and away from their more traditional role in defeating nation-states in conventional
wars. As the U.S. withdraws from large scale overseas contingency operations,
our potential adversaries have studied and learned that it is not cost effective to
compete against U.S. conventional forces. Adversaries have developed asymmetric
capabilities to counter U.S. dominance that both threaten our deployed forces and
coalition partners, as well as the U.S. Homeland. It is in this context that the topic
of Integreated Air and Missile Defense is timely. The main questions we will be
addressing during this conference are:
• What are the current and future threats confronting the U.S. and its partners?
• Is the U.S. making the right investments in its IAMD capabilities?
• What does Integration look like in the 21st Century
• What policy and strategies do we need to adjust?
We have designed an exciting agenda and have invited an interesting and diverse
group of speakers. Please mark your calendars and join us for this exhilarating event.
