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.

Chapters
More than 130 AFCEA chapters, located around the world, give engineers, programmers, managers, government officials and military personnel continuing opportunities to exchange ideas in their specialised fields. Nearly one-half of AFCEA's chapters conduct symposia and seminars in addition to other chapter activities. Recently three new chapters have been ope-ned in Central Europe, they are situated In Prague, In Sofia and in Warsaw.

AFCEA Sponsored Conferences/Symposia AFCEA conferences provide opportunities for Communications, Intelligence & Information Systems professionals to consider problems of mutual interest through exhibits, technical panels, and presentations of professional papers from prestigious speakers. Decision makers from around the world attend AFCEA conferences for presentations, hand-on demonstrations, question and answer sessions and system solutions.
