SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (title 5 United
States Code [U.S.C.] chapter 10), the Government in the Sunshine Act (5
U.S.C. 552b), and 41 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 102-3.140 and
102-3.150.
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Designated Federal
Officer, the Defense Innovation Board was unable to provide public
notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning its January 31
through February 1, 2023 meeting. 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.
Purpose of Meeting: The mission of the DIB is to provide the
Secretary of Defense, Deputy Secretary of Defense, and Under Secretary
of Defense for Research & Engineering (USD(R&E)) independent advice and
strategic insights on the emerging and disruptive technologies and
their impact on national security, adoption of commercial sector
innovation best practices, and how to leverage the U.S. innovation
ecosystem and align structures, processes, and human capital practices
to accelerate and scale innovation adoption, foster a culture of
innovation and an experimentation mindset, and enable the Department to
build enduring advantages. The DIB focuses on innovation-related issues
and topics raised by the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of
Defense, or the USD(R&E). The objective of this DIB meeting is to
obtain, review, and evaluate information related to the DIB's mission
and studies.
Agenda: The DIB meeting will begin with a closed session on January
31, 2023 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The
[[Page 5320]]
DIB will reconvene on February 1, 2023, for closed sessions from 8:30
a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The DIB will convene for its open session, from
10:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Following adjournment of the open session, the
DIB will reconvene for closed sessions from 12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time. During the closed sessions, the DIB members will
participate in classified briefs and discussions on matters related to:
S&T Threat Overview--the threats to national security posed by
adversaries as it relates to science and technology (S&T); the Global
Investment Capital Environment; The Innovation Ecosystem & Pain
Points--strategic implications of DoD's innovation ecosystem, the
valley of death, and innovation pain points; USAF Designing the
Capabilities and Force of the Future--U.S. Air Force future force
design and capabilities; Opportunities & Challenges Engaging the
Commercial Sector--opportunities and challenges engaging the commercial
sector and non-traditional companies; Experimentation to Acquisition--
Lessons Learned from Prototypes to Programs--Service innovation
initiatives related to acquisition and deployment of capabilities and
workforce required to address future threats; National Military Command
Center. During the open session, following the DIB DFO's and the
Chair's remarks, members will receive an update on the National Defense
Science & Technology Strategy Review Task Force and the Strategic
Investment Capital Task Force, and receive briefs from the Office of
Strategic Capital and U.S. Air Force. Following these briefs and DIB
discussions, the DFO will read public comments, offer the DIB closing
remarks, and adjourn the open session. The latest version of the agenda
can be found on the DIB's website at: <a href="https://innovation.defense.gov">https://innovation.defense.gov</a>.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with section 1009(d) of the
FACA and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the DoD has determined that parts of the DIB
meeting will be closed to the public on January 31, 2023 from 3:00 p.m.
to 5:00 p.m. and on February 1, 2023 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and
12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Specifically, the USD(R&E), in consultation
with the DoD Office of General Counsel, has determined in writing that
these portions of the meeting will be closed to the public because the
DIB will consider matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). The
determination is based on the classified nature of discussions related
to national security. 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 meeting. To permit these portions of the meeting to be open
to the public would preclude discussion of such matters and would
greatly diminish the ultimate utility of the DIB's recommendations to
the Secretary of Defense, Deputy Secretary of Defense, and USD(R&E).
Pursuant to Federal statutes and regulations (the FACA and 41 CFR
102-3.140 through 102-3.165), the meeting will be accessible to the
public virtually on February 1, 2023 from 10:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Members of the public wishing to attend the meeting virtually should
register on the DIB's website listed in this notice no later than
January 30, 2023. Members of the media should RSVP to the Office of the
Assistant to the Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs), at
