SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Open Systems will meet 
in closed session on April 7-8 and May 6-7, 1998 at Strategic Analysis, 
Inc., 4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, Virginia.
    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 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 will 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, Pub. L. No. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II, (1994)), it has 
been determined that this DSB Task Force meeting concerns matters 
listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) (1994), and that accordingly this meeting 
will be closed to the public.

    Dated: March 24, 1998.
L.M. Bynum,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
