DSB to brief Pentagon leadership on 2024 summer study in closed meeting

The Defense Science Board will hold a closed-door meeting next Thursday where the panel will "meet with DOD Leadership" to discuss classified findings and recommendations from several studies and DSB task forces, according to the Federal Register.

Chief among those topics discussed at the 8 a.m. ET closed meeting will be the classified findings and recommendations from the 2024 Summer Study on Advanced Capabilities for Potential Future Conflict.

The Oct. 3 briefing comes just over a month after the most recent meeting on the 2024 summer study, which has been shrouded in secrecy since its inception.

The board’s Permanent Subcommittee on Strategic Operations’ Commercial Provision of Navigation Signals for Operational Use study and the National Security Challenges for 2025 will also provide remarks on their findings and recommendations during the meeting. DSB task forces on emerging biotechnologies and national security, and the 21st century industrial base for national defense will also present attendees with their findings and recommendations.
