David Honey, Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Research and
Engineering (DUSD(R&E)), will provide remarks regarding the objectives
of the 2024 Summer Study on Advanced Capabilities for Potential Future
Conflict. Next, the DSB will conduct a dry run of the current summary
of findings on the development of symmetric and asymmetric capabilities
that will characterize future conflicts. Following a break, members
will discuss classified strategies that best enable DoD's continued
development of symmetric and asymmetric capabilities that will
characterize future conflicts. The session will adjourn at 4:30 p.m.
The meeting will continue Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. The
DSB will discuss classified strategies that best enable DoD's continued
development of symmetric and asymmetric capabilities that will
characterize future conflicts, with a break midday. The session will

DSB will proceed through a dry run of the current summary of findings
on the development of symmetric and asymmetric capabilities that will
characterize future conflicts. Following a break, members will discuss
classified strategies that best enable DoD's continued development of
symmetric and asymmetric capabilities that will characterize future
conflicts. The session will adjourn at 4:30 p.m. On Thursday, August

development of symmetric and asymmetric capabilities that will
characterize future conflicts. Members will deliberate and vote on the
finalized product. The meeting will adjourn at 12:00 p.m.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with section 1009(d) of title
5, U.S.C. and section 102-3.155 of title 41 CFR, the DoD has determined
that the DSB meeting will be closed to the public. Specifically, the
DUSD(R&E), in
[[Page 63181]]
consultation with the DoD Office of the General Counsel, has determined
in writing that the meeting will be closed to the public because it
will consider matters covered by section 552b(c)(1) of title 5, U.S.C.
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 meeting. 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 DUSD(R&E).
Written Statements: In accordance with section 1009(a)(3) of title
5, U.S.C. and sections 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140 of title 41, CFR,
interested persons may submit a written statement for consideration by
the DSB 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 DFO at the email address
provided above in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section at any
point; however, if a written statement is not received at least three
calendar days prior to a meeting, which is the subject of this notice,
then it may not be provided to or considered by the DSB until a later
date.
Dated: July 29, 2024.
