Office of the Secretary

Defense Science Board

ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee

Meeting.

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board

(DSB) Task Force on Systems

Technology for the Future U.S. Strategic

Posture will meet in closed session on

November 13–14, 2000, at Offutt Air

Force Base, Nebraska. This Task Force

will review the likely nature and

evolution of potential future strategic

challenges to the U.S., advanced

technologies for nuclear weapons

systems and non-nuclear strategic

weapons systems, and advanced C4ISR

technology applications for strategic

contingencies.

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

this meeting, the Defense Science Board

Task Force will consider the extent to

which technologies and systems

currently being developed and applied

for regional contingencies are relevant

and applicable to future strategic

contingencies; take into account

affordability and arms control

constraints; look at possible further

future ballistic missile defense

technology to the extent that ballistic

missile defense relates to the overall

future strategic posture; and consider

strategies for using the national strategic

technology base to deal with, or hedge

against, the uncertainties and

ambiguities inherent in the nature and

timing of emergence of possible strategic

threats, including possible dissuasion of

such threats; and, consider the

capability of the technology and

industrial base to respond in time to

long-term strategic warning in various

forms, including the adequacy and

responsiveness of DoD’s science and
