What do Capabilities-Base Assessment (CBA) results identify?
Non-materiel and/or materiel approaches to address Warfighting capability gaps
What do Capabilities-Base Assessment (CBA) results identify?
Non-materiel and/or materiel approaches to address Warfighting capability gaps
The three major analytic thrusts of a CBA are:
Needs Analysis
Gap Analysis
Solutions Analysis
Needs Analysis
level of analytic rigor
Solution Analysis
A Solutions Analysis determines if a non-materiel (i.e., DOTmLPF-P) solution can mitigate gaps with unacceptable levels of risk.
Solution Analysis
A Solutions Analysis determines if a non-materiel (i.e., DOTmLPF-P) solution can mitigate gaps with unacceptable levels of risk.
The major outputs of a CBA are documented in
an ICD and/or a Joint DCR.
So, a CBA gets you to either an
ICD or a Joint DCR
ICD becomes a DCR
