ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee Meetings. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Missile Defense, Phase IV (Information Policy) will meet in closed session on October 15, 2004 and December 9-10, 2004, at the Institute for Defense Analyses, 1801 N. Beauregard Street, Alexandria, VA. The Task Force will assess: the scope of the modeling and simulation effort; the appropriateness of the level of fidelity of classes of simulations; the impact of communications in the end-to-end models; the approaches to ensuring the validity of simulations for all uses, including exercises and wargaming done for training and operations concept development; and additional opportunities for modeling and simulation contribution to Ballistic Missile Defense Systems development and evaluation. 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 address the above mentioned issues in a system of systems context with particular emphasis on battle management systems, command and control systems, and the global sensor system. The Task Force will provide advice on the state of modeling and simulation for use in assessing overall performance of segments of the Ballistic Missile Defense Systems; e.g., ground-based midcourse intercept system, space-based interceptor system. 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 this Defense Science Board Task Force meeting concerns matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, the meeting will be closed to the public. Dated: September 28, 2004. L.M. Bynum, Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee Meeting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Mobility will meet in closed session on October 14-15, 2004; November 17-18, 2004; and December 14-15, 2004, in Arlington, VA. This task Force will identify the acquisition issues in improving our strategic mobility capabilities. 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 review: The part transport plays in our present-day military capability--the technical strengths and weaknesses the operational opportunities and constraints; the possible advantage of better alignment of current assets with those in production and those to be delivered in the very near future; how [[Page 59215]] basing and deployment strategies--CONUS-basing, prepositioning (ashore or afloat), and seabasing--drive our mobility effectiveness; the possible advantages available from new transport technologies and systems whose expected IOC dates are either short term ( 12 years) or, separately, the long term ( 25 years). 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 this Defense Science Board Task Force meeting concerns matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, the meeting will be closed to the public.
