DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary 

Defense Science Board

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of advisory committee 

meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board 

Task Force on High Performance 

Microchip Supply will meet in closed 

session on March 3, 2004, at Strategic 

Analysis Inc., 3601 Wilson Boulevard, 

Arlington, VA. The Task Force will 

assess the implications of the movement 

of manufacturing capability and design 

of high performance microchips and 

will address the Department of 

Defense’s (DoD) ability to obtain 

radiation hardened microchips, the 

ability to produce limited quantities of 

special purpose microchips in a timely 

and secure manner, and the ability to 

produce microchips in a timely manner 

to meet emerging needs. 

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. 

Specifically, the Task Force will look at 

root causes associated with the 

migration of the manufacturing 

capability of high performance 

semiconductors; policies or technology 

investments that DoD, either alone or in 

conjunction with other U.S. government 

agencies, can pursue which will 

influence the migration of 

manufacturing to foreign shores; 

alternatives to the creation of trusted 

foundries based on U.S. territory; 

whether testing is a viable alternative 

and if so, the level of assurance testing 

will provide to guarantee that only 

intended functions are built into the 

microchip; alternative manufacturing 

techniques which may allow overseas 

fabrication of the microchips and 

subsequent interconnect in the U.S.; and 

future technologies which the U.S. may 

invest in to replace the current 

microchip technology. 

In accordance with section 10(d) of 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

Pub. L. 92–463, as amended (5 U.S.C. 

App. II), it has been determined that 

these Defense Science Board Task Force 

meetings concern matters listed in 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, 

the meetings will be closed to the 

public.

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board 

Task Force on Identification 

Technologies will meet in closed 

session on March 15–16, 2004; April 

15–16, 2004; and May 5–6, 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, 

Pub. L. No. 92–463, as amended (5 

U.S.C. App. II), it has been determined 

that these Defense Science Board Task 

Force meetings concern matters listed in
