Capability (systems engineering)
A capability, in the systems engineering sense, is defined as the ability to execute a specified course of action. A capability may or may not be accompanied by an intention.[1] The term is used in the defense industry but also in private industry (e.g. gap analysis).
Capability gap analysis
[edit]The Joint Capabilities Integration Development System is an important part of DoD military planning. The "Operation of the JCIDS" introduces a Capability Based Analysis (CBA) process that includes identification of capability gaps.[2] In essence, a Capability Gap Analysis is the determination of needed capabilities that do not yet exist.[3][4] The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) suggests the use of the Operational Activity Model (OV-5) in conducting a CGA.[5]
