La Jolla Conference on Innovation Support for National Security
By Alex Matthews
San Diego, June 17, 2009 -- Autonomous robotics and cyber security were at the top of the agenda when San Diego's CONNECT trade organization staged the first-ever La Jolla Conference on Innovation Support for National Security. It took place June 9 at Calit2 on the UC San Diego campus. The conference explored how the region can leverage its experience in launching critical new technologies to help government address national-security challenges.According to speakers at the conference, the San Diego region is well positioned to do so, with its strong base of expertise in defense, high tech, security, C4ISR, unmanned vehicles, wireless, and IT. Keynote speakers included top Pentagon officials, and CONNECT organized the conference in partnership with key regional trade associations, including AFCEA, NDIA, AUVSI, SDMAC and The Security Network.
The UCSD Division of Calit2 recorded the proceedings, and webcast videos of select panels and talks are now available for on-demand viewing [Windows Media Player and broadband connection required; click for information on the latest version, and on players for Mac and Linux users ].
