Concept Development
Abstract
Develop operationally consistent and technologically informed capability concepts delivering military utility and informing strategic investment decisions. Validate materiel and non-materiel capability elements through rigorous problem decomposition, engagement with warfighters and with industry, and access to operationally relevant evidence to include suitability considerations. Discern critical dependencies among capability concept elements, including operational mission assets and technology investments. Distinguish developmental capability concept elements from materiel and non-materiel elements currently available. Develop capability tailored measures of performance and measures of effectiveness, which may include necessary digital tools. Identify key drivers for technical risk, cost risk, and schedule risk. Verify suitability of analysis baseline for capabilities being investigated, communicating limitations to stakeholders and proposing mitigation strategies as appropriate. Revisit previously developed capability concepts as needed, update concept elements and operational employment to reflect emerging mission needs and maturing technology alternatives.
