DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

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 Global Positioning 
System will meet in closed session on June 18, 2004, and July 29, 2004, 
at Strategic Analysis Inc., 3601 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA. The 
Task Force will review a range of issues dealing with Galileo (or some 
other future radio navigation satellite system) and provide 
recommendations to address these issues.
    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 will address: Provision 
of capabilities and services within GPS to ensure its viability in 
commercial markets; the impact on frequency spectrum use, signal 
waveforms and power management; access and denial issues throughout the 
spectrum of conflict; possible alternatives to a global radio 
navigation system including the development of small compact timing 
devices and/or navigation units; and vulnerabilities and upgrade 
strategies for all global radio navigation satellite systems (GRNSS). 
In addition, the Task Force will assess areas in which DoD should seek 
strong partnering relationships outside DoD, both within government and 
industry. It will recommend research and development areas that are 
uniquely in DoD interest and might not be accomplished by the private 
sector.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been 
determined

[[Page 28126]]

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.
