Current Force Capability Gaps
Abstract
This project enables the Army to develop, integrate and help synchronize capability requirements and solutions into the operational force to meet the Army's goal to deliver Army 2030 and Design Army 2040. Funding ensures that the Warfighter is independently represented by, complementing the materiel and non-material developers, providing total capability management that integrates all doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) considerations. This project provides resources to execute Capability Development and Integration Directorate (CDID) Battle Lab experimentation, assessments and analysis addressing the Army's most significant modernization challenges. The Army plans and conducts experiments to gain insights and recommendations in the development of integrated concepts and requirements to inform Army Senior Leader modernization decisions through the results of a rigorous Campaign of Learning. Funding in this project enables maintenance of the Army Capability- based Architecture Development and Integration Environment (ArCADIE) providing storage, accessibility, production, and certification of authoritative architecture data and supporting systems. ArCADIE enables the process to develop, verify and validate operational architecture for eight major BCT formations. Funding in FY24 ensures continuation of requirement determination, documentation, and integration. This will include areas of Maneuver, Soldier, Robotic, and Engineer capability development, Air Defense and Artillery formations, Sustainment watercraft and maneuver support vehicles, intelligence systems and sensors, and Cyber Army Capability Managers (ACM) areas of Cyberspace, Networks and Services, Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations and Tactical Radios. Cyber ACMs provide support to the Army's Cyber priorities and Cross Functional Team efforts. Funding ensures highly technical requirements development expertise for the Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF). This ensures use of highly technical expertise to provide quick-response systems engineering support for Multi Domain Operations, MDTF, and other high-priority study areas.
