| The AIAA / Homeland Security Program Committee presents the Homeland Security in Action: Air * Space * Maritime Conference and Showcase to address the needs of basic and applied researchers. The conference will be held at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA Aug 25-29. Every aspect of working with the Department of Homeland Security critically depends on the effective operational employment of Department hardware and systems. The purpose of the Homeland Security in Action conference is to provide a current overview of exactly these aspects. Current DHS assets and capabilities will be presented and a variety of recent successes in the field will be showcased. One of last year’s most popular sessions was given by Pete McNall, DHS/CBP who brought some fascinating border interdiction footage. His presentation provided great insight into how things really happen in the field, and as a result we have expanded the conference to cover border protection on all fronts - air, space and maritime. and capabilities fit into the current DHS fleet and concepts of operations. In addition to learning directly from users and decision-makers, there are also numerous showcase vehicles - including a poster exhibition, a half-day hands-on demonstration session, and financial sponsorship of the conference which includes some speaking slots, and considerable name/brand exposure.
