Office of the Secretary


Defense Science Board

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee Meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Test and Training Sub-
scale and Full-scale Aerial Targets will meet in closed session on 
February 8-9, 2005, March 14-16, 2005, and April 13-14, 2005, at SAIC, 
4001 N. Fairfax Drive, Arlington, VA. The Task Force will also meet in 
closed session on March 14-16, 2005, at Pt. Mugu Naval Air Weapons 
Station, CA. This Task Force will review the future needs for sub-scale 
and full-scale aerial targets for developmental and operational 
testing.
    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 
should investigate future aerial threats as well as weapon and sensor 
capability in the 2005-2020 timeframe, to understand those 
characteristics necessary to provide effective threat representation. 
They should also review to what extent other alternatives including 
modeling and simulation can supplement live target test and training. 
The Task Force will assess the possibility of common aerial target 
configuration, control and use that can support testing needs of more 
than one system or complex system of systems across multiple Services. 
Included in the review should be the degree of fidelity in threat 
replication throughout the threat regime required for systems 
development and effective testing. The Task Force should consider 
testing needs across the full development cycle from concept 
development to operational test and evaluation and training.
    In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2), it has been 
determined that these Defense Science Board Task Force meetings concern 
matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, these 
meetings will be closed to the public.

    Dated: January 18, 2005.
