JCIDS is…• A key supporting process for DoD acquisition and PPBE processes
o Supports “the statutory responsibility of the JROC to validate joint warfighting requirements”
o Supports the CJCS advising the Secretary of Defense for joint Military Requirements
• Identifying
• Assessing
• prioritizing joint military requirements
o Enables the Joint Staff to ensure Sponsors’ needs meet the Joint force needs)
• JCIDS is not –

CDTMCapability Development Tracking and Management
• IT system - transforms JCIDS capability tracking from document-centric to data-centric process
– Developed and deployed on NIPRNet and SIPRNet
– Mandated for all JCIDS documents (ICD, CDD, CPD, DCR)
� Traces capability gaps
� Inserts process metrics
� Enhances ease of use
� Improved search capability
� Improved document creation
� Input standardization
� Shares data with other DoD applications
24
CDTM
Traceability of Capability Gaps Tracks & reports individual gaps from entry to fielded capability
Process metrics Tracks benchmark data & workflow to time complete documents
Search capability Searches specific document areas and data categories to get relevant results
Ease of use Searches for relevant gaps at all JCA tier levels
Document creation &standardization Prompts via “Turbo-tax” wizard interface for inputsAutomatically creates and formats documentStandardizes JCIDS document formatting & length
Interoperability Shares common data with other DoD applications

Rapid Response Situations
• Urgent & compelling needs during crisis and conflict
• Each Service has Policies and Procedures, but …
• Service-unique approaches do not address Theater-Wide Joint Urgent and Emergent
Operational Needs
• Requirements managers need to stay engaged in process
26
• Deliberate Requirements– Service, CCMD or Agency Driven
– Traditional route capabilities that require significant tech development and/or are not urgent or compelling in nature
• Emergent Requirements– CCMD-driven
– Supports accelerated acquisition of capabilities needed for an anticipated or pending contingency operation
– VCJCS verifies, JCB or JROC validates
• Urgent Requirements– CCMD-driven
– Urgent & compelling to prevent loss of life and/or mission failure during current operations
– Require little tech development & can be resolved in less than two years
– DDR validates

Urgent & Emergent Operational NeedsDefinitions
• Urgent Operational Need (UON):
o Capability requirements identified by DOD Component as impacting an ongoing/anticipated contingency operation. If left unfulfilled, UONs result in capability gaps potentially resulting in loss of life or critical mission failure. DoD Components may use a different name for a UON.
• Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON):
o UONs that are identified by a Combatant Command as inherently joint and impacting an ongoing contingency operation.
• Joint Emergent Operational Need (JEON):
o UONs that are identified by a Combatant Command as inherently joint and impacting an anticipated or pending contingency operation.
Joint Urgent & Emergent Operational Needs
• Every Service has a Rapid Response Procedure
• Joint Rapid Response Lanes
o Joint Urgent Operational Needs (JUON)
o Joint Emergent Operational Needs (JEON)
• JUON/JEON Validation and Resourcing Involves
o VCJCS/JCB/JROC
o Gatekeeper (J8 Deputy Director for Requirements (DDR))
o Joint Rapid Acquisition Cell (JRAC)
o Functional Capabilities Boards (FCBs) and Working Groups
o Military Services, Defense Agencies, ISR TF & Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO)
29
Urgent Situations
• Urgent Situations (Current Guidance)
o Ongoing conflict or crisis
o Unforeseen military requirements
o Must resolve as soon as possible
• These Situations Would Result in:
o Direct enemy-action related loss of life and/or
o Critical mission failure
• Validation Authority is J8, DDR (Gatekeeper)
• Staffing in 15 calendar days
30
Emergent Situations
• Emergent Situation
o Supports accelerated acquisition of capabilities needed
• Anticipated contingency operation
• Pending contingency operation
o JUONs process variation
• Driven by “pending” or “imminent” operations
• Require capability in short timeframes
• Avoid loss of life and/or mission failure when operations commence
o VCJCS verification required prior to staffing as emergent candidate
• Validation at the JCB or JROC
• Staffing goal = 31 days
31
Who Initiates an Urgent/Emergent Need?
• An Urgent/Emergent Request Must Come from:
o Joint Force Commander
o Service Component Commander
o Commander’s delegated representative
• Service/Services must validate Unique Urgent/Emergent Need
• JUONs/JEONs
o Endorsed by the Combatant Commanders
o Validated by the Joint Staff

Rapid Response Summary
• An Urgent / Emergent Situation that Results in
o Direct enemy-action related loss of life and/or
o Critical mission failure
• Each Service has Its Own Approach to Urgent Needs
• JUONs / JEONs Support Joint Urgent / Emergent Needs
• Initiating JUONs / JEONs is a Requirements Process
• Requirements Managers will Need to be Involved with Follow-On Activities
37
The “IT Box”
38
• Describes IS program overall bounds to reduce return trips to JROC to approve improved capabilities.
• Provided to FCB/JCB/JROC as part of IS program’s ICD approval process
• Only applies to programs that do not develop hardware systems (leveraging COTS/GOTS hardware).
• Once ICD is approved, no need to return to JROC with CDD/CPD, unless IS ICD results in a MDAP.

Background Information
Force Protection (FP) KPP
• For Manned Systems & Systems designed to enhance personnel survivability
• Force Protection Attributes:o Protect personnel by preventing or mitigating hostile actions
o Protect system operator, rather than the system itself
o Offensive attributes intended to defeat enemy not force protection attributes
o Not Force Protection Attributes
o Protection against accidents, weather, natural environmental hazards
o Protection against disease (except when related to a biological attack)
• Protection FCB assesses FP KPP for JROC/JCB interest Programs
• If not used must explain why not in CDD/CPD
• Examples:
o Radar Cross Section
o Ability to Withstand hit/blast/flood/shock
o Jam Resistance
o Tactics
Survivability KPP
• All Manned Systems and may be used for Unmanned Systems
• Survivability attributes contribute to survivability
• Joint Staff (J-3) & Protection FCB must concur if not used
• Examples: o Speed
o Maneuverability
o Armor
o Electromagnetic Spectrum Control
o Redundancy of Critical Subsystems
o Protection from Chemical, Biological and Radiological Effects
Sustainment KPP & KSAs
• Applies to All ACAT I Programs.
• ACAT II & Below programs include Sustainment KPP or Sponsor-
defined sustainment metrics
• Three Elements:
o Availability KPP
• Materiel Availability
• Operational Availability
o Reliability KSA
o Operations & Support Cost KSA
• Reviewed /Analyzed
o Joint Staff (J-4)
o Deputy Assistant Secretary Defense (Materiel Readiness)
Net Ready (NR) KPP
• Information Systems (IS) & National Security Systems (NSS):
o Automated acquisition, storage. manipulation, management
o Movement, control, display
o Switching, Interchange, Transmission, reception
o of DOD data or information regardless of classification or sensitivity
• Not for systems that do not communicate with external systems
• C4/Cyber FCB
o Assesses NR KPP or Sponsor justification
o Provides NR KPP Certification
Net-Ready KPPContinued
• Net-Ready KPP Consists of Three Attributes:o Supports Military Operations
o Is Entered and Managed on the Network, and
o Effectively Exchanges Information
• Three-Step Development Process1. Mission Analysis – Determines attribute details to supports military operations
2. Information Analysis – Determine attribute details entered & managed on network and effectively exchange information
3. Systems Engineering & Architecture – Supports all 3 attributes
Training (T) KPP
• Applies to All ACAT I Programs
• Attributes Include (among others):o Proficiency Level
o Time to Train
o Training Retention
o Associated Metrics
• Ensure training requirements addressed at beginning of acquisition process through Program’s Acquisition life-cycle.
• J-7 with USD(Personnel &Readiness) assesses Training KPP or why KPP is not applicable for JROC/JCB Interest Programs
Energy KPP
• Systems where energy provision, including fuel/electric power:
o Impacts Operational Reach
o Requires protection of energy infrastructure/resources in Supply Chain
• May be expressed as
o Units of Energy Used per Period of Time (e.g. gallons per hour)
o Number of Refuelings Required (e.g. tankings per hour).
• Logistics FCB, with J-4/ED & Defense Energy Board assesses KPP or why KPP is not
applicable for JROC/JCB interest programs
