Designated Federal Officer and the
Department of Defense, the Defense
Science Board was unable to provide
public notification concerning it
meeting on February 14 through 15,
2017, of the Defense Science Board 2017
Summer Study Task Force on Nuclear
Deterrence in the 21st Century’s MultiPolar, Multi-Threat Strategic
Environment, 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 15calendar 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 102–3.150.
The mission of the Defense Science
Board is to provide independent advice
and recommendations on matters
relating to the DoD’s scientific and
technical enterprise. The objective of
the Nuclear Deterrence Summer Study
Task Force is to address the topic of
nuclear force modernization and
recapitalization, focusing on ways to
reduce the affordability problem and on
ways to respond to the changing
strategic environment through technical,
programmatic, and operational
innovation. The Nuclear Deterrence
2017 Summer Study Task Force will
consider the critical issues associated
with the status and trends in major
power threats and proliferator s that
could threaten the United States or its
allies, to include their nuclear,
advanced conventional, and cyber
capabilities that might threaten the
operational viability of our nuclear
deterrent; make our ability to control
escalation through non-nuclear means
problematic; or impact the assurance of
U.S. extended deterrence globally. This
two-day session will focus on the DoD’s
Nuclear Weapons, Warheads, and
Platforms. This meeting will provide
overview briefings to study members on
the future plans and programs that the
DoD is currently pursuing. Day One
briefings will include a mission,
organization, and operations overview
of the Nuclear Weapons Council by Mr.
Wayne Hudson, Principal Deputy to the
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Nuclear Matters; a mission,
organization, and operations overview
of the U.S. Strategic Command
Enterprise by Mr. Jim Colasacco, Chief
Global Strike Division, Capability and
Resource Integration Directorate, U.S.
Strategic Command; an operational and
technical presentation on the Air
Forces’ nuclear platform and warhead

programs by the Air Force Nuclear
Deterrence Staff; an overview briefing
on the Nuclear Command, Control, and
Communications domain by Dr. Richard
Roca, John Hopkins University Applied
Physics Laboratory; an operational and
technical presentation on the DoD’s
nuclear platform and warhead programs
by Mr. Tom Troyano, Director, Strategic
Systems & Treaty Compliance,
OUSD(AT&L); a brief on the Master Plan
for Nuclear Warheads and the joint DoD
and Department of Energy study on
threats to the U.S. ability to maintain its
strategic deterrence in support of the
Joint Strategic Deterrence Review by Mr.
Sean McDonald, National Nuclear
Security Administration; and a mission,
organization, and operations brief of
DoD’s Cyber Command. The day two
briefing will be an operational and
technical presentation on the Navy’s
nuclear platform and warhead programs
by VADM Terry Benedict, Director,
Navy Strategy Systems Program. The
remainder of this day will be the
Nuclear Deterrence 2017 Summer Study
Task Force’s six panel break-out
sessions: Deterrence Theory, Scenarios;
Cyber; Conventional Force Elements;
Nuclear Weapons; Nuclear Delivery
Platforms and NC2; and
Experimentation, Exercises, Messaging.
These panels will meet
simultaneously to discuss topics to
analyze in support of the study. The day
will conclude with a full session of the
Nuclear Deterrence 2017 Summer Study
Task Force to share the discussions from
the panel session.
In accordance with section 10(d) of
the FACA and 41 CFR 102–2.155, the
DoD has determined that the Nuclear
Deterrence 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 all sessions
will be closed to the public because they
will consider matters covered by 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). 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
information 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

In accordance with section 10(a)(3) of
the FACA and 41 CFR 102–3.l05(j) and
102–3.140, interested persons may
submit a written statement for
consideration by the Nuclear Deterrence
2017 Summer Study Task Force 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

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
Nuclear Deterrence 2017 Summer Study
Task Force until the next meeting of this
task force.
The DFO will review all submissions
with the Nuclear Deterrence 2017
Summer Study Task Force co-Chairs
and ensure they are provided to Nuclear
Deterrence Summer Study Task Force
members prior to the end of the two-day
meeting on February 15, 2017.
