Theater Air and Missile Defense Integrated Desktop Analysis and Planning System

Abstract

FTI's Integrated Desktop Analysis and Planning System (IDAPS) comparative assessment process and automated tool has been successfully used in a number of DoD studies to perform a structured evaluation a wide range of architectures/systems/technologies. The process embodies sound engineering principles to establish a framework that provides senior decision-makers with sufficient data to make informed decisions regarding the acquisition of systems, development of technology investment strategies, and the assessment of alternative architectures with both military utility and cost as principal measures in a "Cost as an Independent Variable (CAIV)" perspective. The IDAPS framework also supports establishing a permanent, readily accessible corporate knowledge base that preserves Intellectual capital through disciplined, structured and automated synthesis of information.
