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 2005 Summer Study on 
Reducing Vulnerabilities to Weapons of Mass Destruction will meet in 
closed session on January 31-February 1, 2005; March 8-9, 2005; April 
4-5, 2005; May 3-4, 2005; June 1-2, 2005; and June 28-29, 2005, at 
Strategic Analysis Inc., 3601 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA. This 
Task Force will review a State's clanedestine employment of weapons of 
massed destruction (WMD) or the use of such capability by a terrorist.
    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 these 
meetings, the Defense Science Board Task Force should develop national 
enterprise architecture to reduce vulnerabilities to WMD. The 
architecture should identify those areas where integration across 
modalities would pay off, as well as the issues that are uniquely tied 
to a single defense which may arise from new intelligence or other 
sources and adapt to different generations of WMD defense systems which 
will probably be procured under a spiral development model. An 
integrated WMD system would be able to assess from end-to-end the state 
of affairs in WMD.
    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.

OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
