Capability Assessment
Abstract
Primary Outcome (objective) for this effort is to provide objective based assessment of Doctrine, Organizational, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities (DOTMLPF) solution sets supporting the Joint Task Force Commander. JSIC will analyze COCOM near-term requirements using DOTMLPF criteria. JSIC will identify current, emerging, or mature technologies to address materiel requirements. Comprehensive assessments covering joint maturity, interoperability, warfighter utility, and operational effectiveness will be conducted on legacy and transformational projects. JSIC will provide DOTMLPF recommendations on fielding strategies for Joint Staff endorsement. The primary outputs and efficiencies realized are: 1) Increased number of recommended improvements that enhance the capability of Joint Task Force Headquarters (JTF HQ); 2) Increased number of verifiable capability solutions recommended for fielding to the Combatant Commander based on quantified capability improvements; 3) Increased empirical data to support benefit-cost ratio improvements of JTF HQ investment decisions to ensure JTF HQs command and control (C2) capabilities are interoperable from technical and operational standpoints; 4) Increased number of assessments conducted that identify current force JTF HQs C2 systems that are interoperable and supported, that inform and recommend solutions to integrate, modify, or retire current force systems; 5) Increased number of assessment based recommendations of technology solutions that address the military utility of proposed and existing Service solutions; and 6) Increased number of solutions deployed with recognized DOTMLPF impacts. Program Management offices benefit because the JSIC program provides a venue for Military Utility Assessments (MUAs) of technologies before committing to implementation. The potential savings associated with finding existing commercial technologies to provide gap filler solutions, and avoid the fielding of systems that are not interoperable or that fail to meet warfighter needs, are difficult to quantify. Potentially life-threatening shortfalls are identified and fixed in advance of fielding. Services benefit directly by reduced Program Manager costs and by fielding systems that are interoperable and meet warfighter needs.
