SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board
Task Force on Open Systems will meet
in closed session on November 18–19,

Fairfax Drive, Arlington, Virginia. In
order for the Task Force to obtain time
sensitive classified briefings, critical to
the understanding of the issues, this
meeting is scheduled on short notice.
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 to
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 should
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,
Public Law 92–463, as amended (5
U.S.C. App. II, (1994)), it has been
