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, Pub. L. No. 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
