Army Science Board (ASB)
Abstract
The ASB Charter sets the estimated number of Board meetings at four per year. Board members serve without compensation, with the exception of reimbursement for official Board-related travel and per diem. Funds are therefore required to facilitate Board activities and related subcommittee activities. The ASB Charter states that annual requirements will typically entail a personnel cost of seven Full-Time Equivalents. Currently, the Secretary of the Army has approved four permanent subcommittees to the Board: 1) The Army Science Board Basic Science and Disruptive Technologies Subcommittee is composed of not more than 15 members and addresses issues relating to the Army's basic research and disruptive technologies, including Soldier performance enhancement, cognition improvement, and training; autonomous systems and human-machine teaming; Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and high-yield Explosives (CBRNE); and counter Weapons of Mass Destruction. 2) The Army Science Board Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Subcommittee is composed of not more than 15 members and addresses issues relating to the Army's C41SR core competency, including the tactical edge C3, situational awareness overmatch, and electronic warfare. 3) The Army Science Board Systems Engineering, Integration, and Sustainment Subcommittee is composed of not more than 15 members and addresses relating to the Army's core competency in systems engineering and integration; advanced prototyping and experimentation in operational environments; and sustainment, including engineered resilient systems, agile logistics and health management. These competencies are essential to the performance of the entire acquisition community. 4) the Army Science Board Weapon Systems Subcommittee is composed of not more than 15 members and addresses issues relating to the Army's weapon systems core competency in: Rotorcraft Design Synthesis & Performance Assessment (DS&PA) and airworthiness/safety; ground combat vehicle DS&PA, Soldier interaction, and system integration; lethality, including impact physics, energetics, warhead DS&PA, effects modeling and simulation; survivability and protection, including armor and balanced approach for detection/hit/kill avoidance; and air and missile defense DS&PA, precision fires, seekers, and precision guidance.
