Naval Research Advisory Committee Open Meeting

    Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 
U.S.C. app. 2), notice is hereby given that the Naval Research Advisory 
Committee Panel on Modeling and Simulation will meet on May 3, 4, and 
5, 1994. The meeting will be held at the Office of Naval Research, 800 
North Quincy Street, Ballston Center Tower One, room 915, Arlington, 
Virginia. The first session will commence at 8:30 a.m. and terminate at 
5 p.m. on May 3; the second session will commence at 8:30 a.m. and

meeting will be open to the public.
    The purpose of the meeting is to provide the Department of the Navy 
with an assessment of the importance of high fidelity models and 
Advanced Distributed Simulation technologies to enhance Department of 
the Navy test and evaluation, and acquisition programs. The panel will 
evaluate current utilization of modeling and simulation; identify 
specific programs that would benefit from an investment in modeling and 
simulation; identify specific areas and/or programs that are good 
candidates for demonstration projects to evaluate the effect of 
available capabilities of Advanced Distributed Simulation; evaluate the 
strengths and weaknesses of Advanced Distributed Simulation 
technologies and relevant modeling from a Department of the Navy 
perspective; and recommend specific research areas related to Advanced 
Distributed Simulation technologies and relevant modeling that warrant 
investments by the Department of the Navy.
    The meeting will include briefings and discussions relating to 
modeling and simulation management initiatives and challenges from the 
Defense Modeling and Simulation Office, Advanced Research Projects 
Agency, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, Office of Naval 
Research, and Center for Naval Analyses; Global Grid; current 
operational test and evaluation policy and procedures, and 
developmental test and evaluation policy and procedures and future 
applications for modeling and simulation technologies in the Department 
of Defense; the application of modeling and simulation technologies to 
joint war fighting; and the Joint Advanced Distributed Simulation 
Feasibility Study.
    This Notice is being published late because of administrative 
delays which constitute an exceptional circumstance, not allowing 
Notice to be published in the Federal Register at least 15 days before 
the date of the meeting.
