DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary

Defense Science Board Task Force on

Satellite Reconnaissance

ACTION: Notice of advisory committee

meetings.

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board

Task Force on Open Systems will meet

in closed session on November 18–19,

1997 at Strategic Analysis, Inc., 4001 N.

Fairfax Drive, Arlington, Virginia. In

order for the Task Force to obtain time

sensitive classified briefings, critical to

the understanding of the issues, this

meeting is scheduled on short notice.

The mission of the Defense Science

Board is to advise the Secretary of

Defense through the Under Secretary of

Defense for Acquisition and Technology

on scientific and technical matters as

they affect the perceived needs of the

Department of Defense. At this meeting

the Task Force will examine the benefits

of, criteria for, and obstacles to the

application of an open systems

approach to weapon systems, and to

make recommendations on revisions to

DoD policy, practice, or investment

strategies that are required to obtain

maximum benefit from adopting open

systems. The Task Force should

examine application to new defense

programs, to those that have already

made substantial investments in a

design, and to those that are already

fielded, across the spectrum of weapon

systems, not just those heavily

dependent on advanced computers and

electronics.

In accordance with Section 10(d) of

the Federal Advisory Committee Act,

Public Law 92–463, as amended (5

U.S.C. App. II, (1994)), it has been

determined that this DSB Task Force

meeting concern matters listed in 5

U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) (1994), and that

accordingly this meeting will be closed
