Mission Needs and Operational Requirements

Abstract

Military technical superiority is a powerful deterrent to war and, if deterrence fails, provides the means to offset a numerical disadvantage in forces and minimize loss of life. Technical superiority may be measured in terms of cost, performance, reliability, and ease of maintenance. To maintain the winning edge in technology, Air Force organizations use a formal, coherent process to identify, evaluate, and prioritize the mission needs and operational requirements that compete for limited resources through the Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition system (attachment 1).
