Defense Science Board

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of advisory committee 

meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board 

Task Force on Global Positioning 

System will meet in closed session on 

October 25, 2004, and November 22, 

2004, at Strategic Analysis Inc., 3601 

Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA. The 

Task Force will review a range of issues 

dealing with Galileo (or some other 

future radio navigation satellite system) 

and provide recommendations to 

address these issues. 

The mission of the Defense Science 

Board is to advise the Secretary of 

Defense and the Under Secretary of 

Defense for Acquisition, Technology & 

Logistics on scientific and technical 

matters as they affect the perceived 

needs of the Department of Defense. At 

these meetings, the Defense Science 

Board Task Force will address: 

Provision of capabilities and services 

within GPS to ensure its viability in 

commercial markets; the impact on 

frequency spectrum use, signal 

waveforms and power management; 

access and denial issues throughout the 

spectrum of conflict; possible 

alternatives to a global radio navigation 

system including the development of 

small compact timing devices and/or 

navigation units; and vulnerabilities and 

upgrade strategies for all global radio 

navigation satellite systems (GRNSS). In 

addition, the Task Force will assess 

areas in which DoD should seek strong 

partnership relationships outside DoD, 

both within government and industry. It 

will recommend research and 

development areas that are uniquely in 

DoD interest and might not be 

accomplished by the private sector. 

In accordance with Section 10(d) of 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

Pub. L. 92–463, as amended (5 U.S.C. 

App. 2), it has been determined that
