JCIDS Paper
The Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) is the official U.S. Department of Defense system which characterizes obtaining prerequisites and criteria assessment for next barrier programs. JCIDS was made to supplant the past administration’s particular prerequisites era framework which made redundancies in capacities and neglected to meet the consolidated needs of all U.S. military administrations. JCIDS is a capabilities-based approach to identify current and future capability gaps and the joint force’s ability to carry out joint warfighting missions and functions.
The model used to identify new capabilities within JCIDS is the Capability-Based
Assessment (CBA). CBA provides recommendations to pursue a materiel or non-materiel solution to an identified capability gap that meets an established capability need. The CBA is a structured, three-step process based on an approved Army Functional Concept (AFC). The CBA analysis contains the Functional Area Analysis (FAA), Functional Needs Analysis (FNA) and Functional Solutions Analysis (FSA). CBA can be used to define the operational framework and the Combatant Commander’s priorities sufficiently to guide development of alternative materiel and sustainment solutions. The drive to make JCIDS resulted from an update on March, 2002 by asking for a study on option approaches to assess necessities. The focal center of JCIDS is to meet capacity setbacks or crevices as characterized by warrior leaders. Hence, JCIDS is said to give a capacities based methodology to prerequisites era. The past necessities era framework concentrated on tending to future risk situations.
