Science Board, 3140 Defense Pentagon, Room 3B888A, Washington, DC 
20301-3140. Web site: http://www.acq.osd.mil/dsb/. The most up-to-date 
changes to the meeting agenda can be found on the Web site.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  The Defense Science Board was unable to 
provide public notification concerning its meeting on May 22 through 
23, 2017, of the Defense Science Board 2017 Summer Study Task Force on 
Countering Anti-access Systems with Longer Range and Standoff 
Capabilities, as required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a). Accordingly, the 
Advisory Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense, 
pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day 
notification requirement.
    This meeting is being held under the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), 
the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), 
and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
    Purpose of the Meeting: The mission of the DSB is to provide 
independent advice and recommendations on matters relating to the 
Department of Defense's (DoD) scientific and technical enterprise. The 
objective of the Long Range Effects 2017 Summer Study Task Force is to 
explore new defense systems and technologies that will enable cost 
effective power projection that relies on the use of longer stand-off 
distances than current capabilities. System components may be deployed 
on manned or unmanned platforms with a range of potential autonomous 
capabilities. Use of cost reducing technology and advanced production 
practices from defense and commercial industry may be a major part of 
the strategy for deploying adequate numbers of weapons.
    Agenda: This two-day session will focus on industry perspectives 
regarding potential future capabilities and architectures for DoD 
implementation. Day One briefings will include opening remarks and 
expectations for the two-day session from Dr. David Whelan and Mr. Mark 
Russell, task force co-chairs; a briefing on Raytheon perspectives 
regarding potential future capabilities and architectures for the DoD 
from Mr. William Kiczuk, The Raytheon Company; a briefing on Aerojet 
Rocketdyne perspectives regarding potential future capabilities and 
architectures for the DoD from Mr. Tyler Evans, Aerojet Rocketdyne; a 
briefing on Boeing perspectives regarding potential future capabilities 
and architectures for the DoD from Mr. Kevin Bowcutt, Mr. Brian 
Tillotson, and Mr. David Bujold, The Boeing Company; and a briefing on 
Northrop Grumman perspectives regarding potential future capabilities 
and architectures for the DoD from Mr. Patrick Antkowiak, Northrop 
Grumman Corporation. Day Two activities will include a briefing on 
Lockheed Martin perspectives regarding potential future capabilities 
and architectures for the DoD by Mr. Richard Lewis, Lockheed Martin 
Corporation. The remainder of Day Two activities will be the Long Range 
Effects 2017 Summer Study Task Force's four-panel break-out sessions: 
Architecture; Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance; Basing, 
Delivery, and Weapons; and Command, Control, Communications, and Cyber. 
These panels will meet simultaneously to discuss topics to analyze in 
support of the study. Day Two will close with discussion of the four 
panels' work.
    Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with section 10(d) of the FACA 
and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the DoD has determined that the Long Range 
Effects 2017 Summer Study Task Force meeting will be closed to the 
public. Specifically, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics), in consultation with the DoD Office of 
General Counsel, has determined in writing that the meeting will be 
closed to the public because matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) 
will be considered. The determination is based on the consideration 
that it is expected that discussions throughout will involve classified 
matters of national security concern. Such classified material is so 
intertwined with the unclassified material that it cannot reasonably be 
segregated into separate discussions without defeating the 
effectiveness and meaning of the overall meetings. To permit the 
meeting to be open to the public would preclude discussion of such 
matters and would greatly diminish the ultimate utility of the DSB's 
findings and recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and to the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
    Written Statements: In accordance with section 10(a)(3) of the FACA 
and 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140, interested persons may submit a 
written statement for consideration by the Long Range Effects 2017 
Summer Study Task Force members at any time regarding its mission or in 
response to the stated agenda of a planned meeting. Individuals 
submitting a written statement must submit their statement to the DSB's 
DFO--Ms. Karen D.H. Saunders, Executive Director, Defense Science 
Board, 3140 Defense Pentagon, Room 3B888A, Washington, DC 20301, via 
email at [email protected] or via phone at (703) 571-0079 
at any point; however, if a written statement is not received at least 
3 calendar days prior to the meeting, which is the subject of this 
notice, then it may not be provided to or considered by the Long Range 
Effects 2017 Summer Study Task Force until the next meeting of this 
task force. The DFO will review all submissions with the Long Range 
Effects 2017 Summer Study Task Force Co-Chairs and ensure they are 
provided to Long Range Effects 2017 Summer Study Task Force members 
prior to the end of the two-day meeting on May 23, 2017.
