WelcomeWelcome to the National Fire Control Symposium (NFCS) website. About NFCSThe National Fire Control Symposium (NFCS) is a tri-service supported event with leadership rotating among the services. The 2012 NFCS is under the leadership of the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate. The NFCS will be held at Nellis Air Force Base and the Aliante Station Casino + Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 30 – 2 August 2012. The NFCS focuses on current warfighter issues related to integrated fire control, including homeland defense, and challenges applicable for all military services, research and development centers and the defense industry. The Symposium addresses the application and integration of sensing, information interoperability, command and control and weapons used for attacking difficult targets characterized as concealed, time-critical, urban, deeply buried or electronic. In recognition of the heightened threat, emphasis will be placed upon the extension of DoD investments into supporting homeland defense, including opportunities for direct support of CONUS operations. Conducted in a classified environment, the NFCS is the only dynamic forum for discussing the entire kill chain. Technical content includes the presentation, demonstration, discussion, and sharing of advanced concepts required for: force management and pre-mission planning; locating, identifying, targeting, and attacking air/sea/ground targets; performing post-attack evaluations as well as the integration, testing, tactics and training required to maintain our tactical advantage.
