GENERAL INFORMATION
AFCEA is a non-profit international association founded in 1946. Today, AFCEA serves as a bridge between
government requirements and industry capabilities, representing the top government, industry and military
professionals in the fields of communications, electronics, intelligence, command and control and information
management systems. The purpose of the Association is to provide its members a common forum for exchanging
information to advance the economic security and peaceful stability of democratic nations, and to support the military
preparedness necessary to maintain that security through the fields of communications, intelligence, and information
systems. AFCEA provides an ethical environment that encourages a close co-operative relationship among civil
government agencies, the military and industry. Through its Journal, SIGNAL, AFCEA covers Communications,
Intelligence & Information Systems disciplines extending beyond purely military aspects and addressing security in
its broadest sense.
