Program Narratives
Mission— Defense Science Board
This program supports the Department's initiatives to Build Long-Term Advantage, and Build a Resilient Joint Force and Defense Ecosystem. The Secretary of Defense established the Defense Science Board (DSB) as a discretionary advisory committee, in accordance with chapter 10 of title 5, U.S. Code (commonly known as “the Federal Advisory Committee Act” or “FACA" and 41 C.F.R. § 102- 3.50(d). The DSB provides independent advice and recommendations on matters supporting the Department of Defense’s (DoD) scientific and technical enterprise to the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the Under Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and other Department officials. The DSB focuses on matters concerning science, technology, manufacturing, acquisition processes, and other topics of special interest to the DoD in response to specific tasks, and is not established to advise on individual DoD procurements. The DSB is concerned with the pressing and complex technological problems facing the DoD in such areas as research, engineering, organizational structure and process, business and functional concepts, and manufacturing, and ensures identification of new technologies and new applications of technology in those areas to strengthen national security. The funds provided allow for the procurement of professional, analytical, and administrative services, to include the tasks of planning, preparation, execution, administrative support, logistics, documentation, and travel for DSB, Subcommittee and Task Force meetings and conferences. The vendors contracted provide essential services in support of the DSB and the DSB staff in the following areas: technical, business, and administrative planning; organizing, managing, coordinating, and tracking (e.g., cost, schedule, and deliverables); and performance management, data management, and subcontract management along with refining initial and final reports of the various study groups.

The DSB is concerned with the pressing and complex technological problems facing the DoD in such areas as research, engineering, organizational structure and process, business and functional concepts, and manufacturing, and ensures identification of new technologies and new applications of technology in those areas to strengthen national security. Contracted services are critical to the success of the DSB. The funds provided allow for the procurement of professional, analytical, and administrative services, to include the tasks of planning, preparation, execution, administrative support, logistics, documentation, and support travel for DSB, Subcommittee and Task Force meetings and conferences. The vendors contracted provide essential services in support of the DSB and the DSB staff in the following areas: technical, business, and administrative planning; organizing, managing, coordinating, and tracking (e.g., cost, schedule, and deliverables); and performance management, data management, and subcontract management along with refining initial and final reports of the various study groups. In FY2024 the DSB was directed to add an additional Permanent Subcommittee on Strategic Options, and Permanent Subcommittee on the Eugene G. Fubini Award, for a total of four Permanent Subcommittees. The DSB will continue to support this additional work using resources in the budget as requested herein.
