Capability Development Strategies
Abstract
Conduct strategic planning activities that translate capability concepts into candidate courses of action suitable for informing future acquisition and future research and development. Identify critical decisions, milestones, and operational employment factors influencing capability courses of action. Identify technology alternatives, potential materiel/non-materiel mixes, and order-of-magnitude cost estimates within candidate courses of action. Develop recommendations for materiel and non-materiel investments providing key capability enablers. Develop capability risk mitigation approaches and conduct focused risk reduction. Refine capability cost and schedule drivers as additional information is obtained. Estimate system-of-system, system, sub-system, component, and/or contributing technology performance needed to achieve warfighter-driven thresholds on capability performance and effectiveness. Develop recommendations for time-phased and performance-gated capability delivery, including incremental system and sub-system capabilities where appropriate.
