Department of the Army April 16, 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the Sunshine in the Government Act of 1976 (U.S.C. 552b, as amended) and 41Code of the Federal Regulations (CFR 102-3.140 through 160, the Department of the Army requests information on science and technology (S&T) research, operational concepts, and mission support innovations to support Army core competencies. No funds are available for any proposal or information submission and submitting information does not bind the Army for any future contracts/grants resulting from this request for information. The Army Science Board is requesting information from organizations external to the Army that will help the board complete its analysis and ensure that all viable sources of information are explored. Based on information submitted in response to this request the Army Science Board may invite selected organizations to provide additional information on technologies of interest. To supplement the information developed in previous studies and otherwise available to the Board, organizations are invited to submit information on technologies to support core competencies that they believe should be considered. Of particular interest are those technologies that support Army core competencies and can be developed externally, either with support from the Army or from other sources. Specific information requested is: Identification of technology and core competency it supports; Description of the technology, including current maturity and current performers; description of how the technology supports the core competency; and description of why this technology pursuit/capability is best performed by the industrial base or other organization external to the Army, rather than performed internal to the Army.
