Intratheater Airlift Functional Solution Analysis (FSA)
Abstract
This functional solution analysis (FSA) for U.S. Air Force (USAF) intratheater airlift is the third in a series of three documents that together constitute a capabilities-based assessment (CBA) required as part of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS). The first document in the series, the functional area analysis (FAA), identified the operational tasks, conditions, and standards needed to achieve military objectives-in this case, certain intratheater airlift missions. The second, the functional needs analysis (FNA), assessed the ability of the current assets to deliver the capabilities identified in the FAA. The third document in the series, the FSA, is an operationally based assessment of current capabilities to determine whether a materiel solution is required to close any identified capability gap identified in the FNA. In this case, the FSA determined that no nonmateriel solution could address the shortfall. Therefore, an analysis of alternatives (AoA) was undertaken to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of various materiel solutions.
