Joint Advanced Concepts

Abstract

Acquisition reform initiatives call for top down, national security strategy-driven capabilities-based planning. The Joint Advanced Concepts (JAC) program supports acquisition reform initiatives and early capabilities based strategic investment decisions that ensure joint, integrated, interoperable, system-of-system combat capability to the warfighter. Through a systematic and thorough process, including comprehensive technology assessments, net technical assessments that engage in comparative analysis of United States versus non-United States capabilities, the program will better inform early shaping of acquisition programs, to include Special Access Programs, from a capabilities portfolio management perspective to deliver improved capabilities to the current and future joint warfighter. This shaping is supported through capability-based assessments, requirements analysis, joint capability area assessments, integrated roadmap development, and the development/integration of risk-based collaborative tools to conduct capability-based assessments. These efforts were previously funded under Program Element 0604875D8Z, Joint Systems Architecture Development.
