Web 2.0 technologies are changing the way the military and intelligence community operate.

The military is gradually turning to Web-based, collaborative technologies to aid combat operations. Soldiers in Iraq have used CAVNET, an interactive community hosted on the military's secure intranet, to share knowledge acquired while on patrol.

Meanwhile, the intelligence community has adopted wikis, blogs, and other Web 2.0 tools to organize and share information. Intellipedia, a classified wiki aimed at helping analysts share intelligence, is used by tens of thousands of individuals from the 16 intelligence agencies and other national security related organizations.

As part of the ongoing Google D.C. Talks series, panelists will explain how their communities are turning to Web 2.0 tools to share knowledge quickly and make intelligence assessments, and will address the technical and cultural challenges to bringing Internet tools to the national security realm. Participants are invited to submit questions in advance via Google Moderator. http://moderator.appspot.com/#15/e=6c2e8&t=6c6e0
