Capability management

In both the military and commercial contexts, net-centric operations and related concepts are playing an increasingly important role in leading and driving business transformation, and contemporary capability management needs to have close regard of those factors.

The threads are composed of a set of activities that can be grouped to form the basis for a mission area architecture.

The Navy performs this architecture analysis based on the concept of Mission Capability Package (MCP).

[1] Due to the complexities of system-of-systems integration, interoperability, and the dynamic nature of operations, capability management is greatly assisted by modelling and simulating realistic strategic scenarios and contexts, in order to inform business cases and decision-making.

This should also endow significant agility to an enterprise, providing enhanced "contingency capital" and risk mitigation.

Though not a Defence Line of Development in itself, the unifying theme of 'interoperability' is considered to ensure a holistic approach to capability integration.
