BACIMO 2005 Conference Announcement
October 12-14, 2005
The next Battlespace Atmospheric and Cloud Impacts on Military Operations (BACIMO) conference will be held at Hyatt Regency Hotel, Monterey, CA. Conference web page can be found at http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/BACIMO/2005/bacimo.html.
Two major themes for the BACIMO 2005 are the METOC impact on warfighting effectiveness and advances in Science and Technology areas. Under the warfighting effectiveness, we have the following subareas:
- Netcentric Warfare. In the netcentric warfare environment, how does METOC community react to the operational mode change of our military customers? How do we capitalize the advantages that the netcentric warfare offers us? Netcentric Operation is a warfighting function that networks all elements of an appropriately trained joint force and integrates their collective awareness, knowledge, and experience to rapidly create new capabilities and achieve a high level of agility and effectiveness in dynamic and uncertain operational environments.
- METOC Impact (rules, thresholding etc). What are the advances in our community in METOC information delivery? What will be the most effective method to deliver the information? Is human forecaster still in the loop?
- Uncertainties associated with our products. All of us have been asked how confident are we in our forecast products? Do we have new ideas in expressing these uncertainties? In additional, are we helping the customers?
- Lessons Learned. We solicit contributions
illustrating "lessons learned" from the operations support
perspective.
The science and technology topics will include the environmental processes and phenomena analysis, exploitation of the sensor data, numerical model development and simulations, and validation studies. The tactical applications topics will include the Strike warfare, CB warfare, and atmospheric prediction and cloud impacts on military EM, EO, acoustic sensor performance, and modeling and simulations.
