SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force Precision Targeting 
will meet in closed session March 29-30, 2001; April 19-20, 2001; May 
10-11, 2001; June 14-15, 2001; and July 26-27, 2001, at SAIC, 4001 N. 
Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22201. The Task Force will examine the 
full range of the precision weapons targeting in tactical military 
operations, from target execution, location, and identification through 
mission execution and damage assessment. Target types will include 
fixed installations and both transportable and mobile military force 
elements.
    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. The Task Force 
will review: All planned precision weapons programs and procurements to 
determine the degree to which these weapons are compatible with 
targeting requirements for different target classes; the degree to 
which existing and planned reconnaissance and surveillance assets are 
used to effectively develop target sets, real time targeting data and 
perform battle damage assessment under varied degrees of cover, 
concealment and deception; our ability to identify and precisely locate 
targets while minimizing false alarms using automatic target 
recognition techniques and precision location technologies; and our 
ability to attack moving targets.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been 
determined that these Defense Science Board meetings, concern matters 
listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c) (1), and that accordingly these meetings 
will be closed to the public.

this meeting will be closed to the public.
    Due to critical mission requirements and the limited timeframe to 
accomplish this review, there is insufficient time to provide timely 
notice required by section 10(c)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act and Subsection 101-6.1015(b) of the GSA Final Rule on Federal

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force on Training for 
Future Conflicts will meet in closed session on February 28, 2001, at 
SAIC, 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA 22201. This Task Force will 
focus on identifying and characterizing what education and training are

and demonstration time phasing over the next two decades for the 
combined triad of technology modernization, operational concepts, and 
training.

prepare them to revolutionize their warfare capabilities, thereby 
achieving a training surprise against the U.S. or its allies. This 
review will include, but not be limited to, unique training/education 
developments which might be spawned by allies or an adversary, training 
techniques and methodologies which might be transferred from the U.S. 
or
