CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced today the release
of Combating Asymmetric Threats: Offset Strategies to Prevail
Against Asymmetric Threats, a report from the ninth symposium in
the Asymmetric Threat symposia series co-sponsored by the
Association of Old Crows (AOC), CACI, and the Center for Security
Policy (CSP). Summarizing discussions and comments from the
symposium, the report considers how offset strategies attempt to
position the U.S. to prevail against resurging global power
competition, multiregional conflicts, and cross-domain challenges.
Copies of the report may be downloaded from the dedicated
Asymmetric Threat website at asymmetricthreat.net, or from AOC,
CACI, or CSP websites at www.crows.org, www.caci.com, or
www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org.
Held September 22, 2016 at the Gannett Conference Center in
McLean, Va., the symposium featured keynote speakers Lieutenant
General Jack Weinstein, Deputy Chief of Staff for Strategic
Deterrence and Nuclear Integration, Headquarters, USAF; and
Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn, USA (Ret), Chairman and Chief
Executive, Flynn Intel Group and former Director of the Defense
Intelligence Agency. Panelists included leaders and experts from
government, industry, and academia examining the technologies and
operational concepts needed to support offset strategies and how
these strategies may be applied across federal agencies to gain the
advantage against asymmetric threats. The report content reflects
the invocation of the Chatham House rule for the symposium and
report as non-attributable forums.
The report also presents the symposium’s discussions on
additional national security challenges, many of the hybrid kind,
stemming from the erosion of the U.S.’s technology advantages,
constrained budgets, and convoluted acquisitions processes.
Opportunities that may be found in offset strategies involving
technologies such as human-machine teaming may need to be applied
across federal agencies and the private sector, and may further
involve pursuing agile acquisition processes and legal tools.
Comments by the symposium leadership emphasized several aspects
of the event’s proceedings.
CACI Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board Dr. J.P.
(Jack) London, who gave the welcoming remarks at the symposium,
said, “The Combating Asymmetric Threats: Offset Strategies to
Prevail Against Asymmetric Threats report articulates the
opportunities and pitfalls of countervailing strategies to give the
U.S. an edge on today’s complex battlefields. We need innovative,
multi-dimensional, and nuanced approaches that incorporate new
technologies and coordinate resources across government and
industry to defeat adversaries who challenge us in every domain.
CACI and its partners also look forward to hosting the 10th
symposium in the Asymmetric Threat series next fall to continue
this critical national dialogue promoting our nation’s security and
its position as a global leader.”
According to AOC President Lisa Frugé-Cirilli, “Electromagnetic
spectrum (EMS) operations have become a decisive and discriminating
enabler of hybrid warfare and offset strategies. The Association of
Old Crows continues to advocate harvesting the constructive
synergies between cyber and electronic warfare to ensure
technological superiority and multi-domain dominance. We recognize
that we must be able to manage the EMS much better than we do
today, respond more quickly to adaptive threats, and seek a better
balance between defensive and offensive EMS operations.
Participating in the Asymmetric Threat IX symposium allowed the AOC
to underscore its focus on finding, forging, and fielding offset
technologies, capabilities, and operational concepts. The EMS
technological opportunities we have yet to master are no greater
than those we have already overcome.”
CSP President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Gaffney stated,
“The Ninth Asymmetric Threat Symposium presented an array of timely
treatments of critical national security topics. Especially
valuable was an insightful discussion of how we can win against the
global jihad movement and its allies.”
About the Asymmetric Threat Symposia
Since its founding in 2008 by CACI Executive Chairman and
Chairman of the Board Dr. J.P. (Jack) London and Lead Director on
CACI’s Board of Directors Dr. Warren Phillips, the Asymmetric
Threat symposium series has provided a forum for thought leadership
on national security. Symposium One, co-sponsored by CACI and the
National Defense University and held May 8, 2008 at the National
Defense University in Washington, DC, defined the asymmetric threat
problem. Symposium Two, co-sponsored by CACI and the U.S. Naval
Institute (USNI) and held October 21, 2008 at Ft. Myer, Virginia,
addressed the efficacy of soft power. Symposium Three, co-sponsored
by CACI and USNI and held March 24, 2009 at Ft. Myer, concluded the
series by addressing the role of smart power in defeating
asymmetric threats. Symposium Four, co-sponsored by CACI and USNI
and held March 2, 2010 at Ft. Myer, centered on countering
challenges to the global supply chain. Symposium Five, co-sponsored
by CACI, USNI, and CSP and held March 1, 2011 at the Carnegie
Institution for Science in Washington, DC, focused on cyber
challenges to the U.S.’s economy and industrial base. Symposium
Six, co-sponsored by CACI, USNI, and CSP and held May 8, 2012 at
the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, DC, addressed decision
superiority. Symposium Seven, co-sponsored by AOC, CACI, and CSP
and held April 2, 2013 at the Ronald Reagan Building and
International Trade Center in Washington, DC, addressed the
interplay of offensive and defensive measures in shaping the
outcomes of asymmetric conflicts. Symposium Eight, co-sponsored by
AOC, CACI, and CSP and held October 1, 2014 at the Gannett
Conference Center in McLean, Virginia addressed role of cyber,
electromagnetic spectrum dominance, and electronic warfare in
defending the U.S. and assuring military operational
superiority.
