interest, and in accordance with the

is to make in-depth technical 

assessments of U.S. and foreign threat 

ASW developments and related 

technologies, to critically review 

programs which potentially impact 

SSBN survivability, and to evaluate

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board 

Task Force on Identification 

Technologies will meet in closed 

session on November 4–5, 2004, at 

Strategic Analysis Inc., 3601 Wilson 

Boulevard, Arlington, VA. The Task 

Force will assess current technologies 

and operational concepts to identify and 

track individuals and materiel. 

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. In 

this assessment, the task force’s 

investigation will encompass defense, 

intelligence, and commercial systems, 

including compartmented technology in 

development and promising 

technologies in the lab that are not yet 

deployed. Technologies will include 

passive/active, line of sight/non-line of 

sight, and cooperative/non-cooperative. 

Potential mechanisms include 

predictive behavior modeling based on 

threat characteristics (attack modality, 

ideological makeup, social, ethnic, 

religious and political tendencies, etc.), 

identification technologies such as 

biometrics (iris scans, facial features, 

voice prints, etc.), DNA matching, and 

advanced non-identification 

technologies such as EO, RF, 

hyperspectral, and fluid surface 

assembly (FSA) sensors. 

In accordance with Section 10(d) of 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

P.L. No. 92–463, as amended (5 U.S.C. 

App. 2), it has been determined that

ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee 

Meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board 

Task Force on Red Lessons Learned will 

meet in closed session on October 22, 

2004, at SAIC, 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, 

Arlington, VA. This Task Force will 

assess what useful information can our 

adversaries learn from U.S. military 

engagement and, particularly, what 

might they have learned from Operation 

Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring 

Freedom; identify the channels through 

which adversaries learn about U.S. 

capabilities; is there any evidence an 

adversary is adjusting to U.S. 

capabilities and what might the U.S. do 

to counter this; what are the indicators 

or observables that the Intelligence 

Community can focus on to determine 

if an adversary is engaging in this type 

of practice and do the indicators change 

in peacetime or wartime; do different 

technology insertion models exist; is 

there any evidence potential adversaries 

are targeting the seams in the U.S. 

command and control alignment and 

planning process; and the preceding 

areas of concern focus primarily on the 

military operations phases, are the 

potential adversaries observing, 

analyzing and adapting during the 

preparation and stabilization phase?

Board is to advise the Secretary of 

Defense and the Under Secretary of
