ForceViewer: A Starting Point Force Tool

Abstract

This document outlines the work done in developing ForceViewer, a tool that assists in producing a Starting Point Force. The document outlines the requirements for the tool, the tool itself and the structure of its code. ForceViewer was developed for the Capability Needs Analysis Directorate in Capability Development Group. The prototype tool graphically shows the Starting Point Force in any chosen year. The tool allows for interactive changes to the force and displays the impact on the overall capability. The force is composed of the current assets, the Defence Capability Plan projects and any interim endorsed capability additions. The purpose of the tool is to quickly determine and display the list of all major elements of the force structure in a chosen year. This Starting Point Force can then be given to Defence organisations such as Military Strategy and the Force Structure Review team for further analysis.
