UNCLASSIFIED Improved Requirements Management Established in 2012, the C4ISR&IT Capabilities and Requirements Oversight Panel (CROP) was created to ensure C4ISR&IT-related gaps are identified, documented, & routed for action. The CROP manages the requirements validation process to: Identify, assess, validate & prioritize C4ISR&IT capability requirements; Provide technical & administrative direction; Ensure proper documentation of capability gaps (CONOPS, OV-1, etc.); Monitor progress of capability requirements to ensure operational gaps are resolved as effectively & efficiently as possible.

UNCLASSIFIED C4ISR&IT CROP CROP and JCIDS Similar to the JCIDS Process, the CROP documents the critical link between validated capability requirements & the implementation of materiel/non- materiel capability solutions. Think of the CROP as where JCIDS was 3-4 years ago CROP Analysis The process utilizes DOTmLPF Analysis to conduct a capabilities-based assessment to identify capability requirements & associated capability gaps.

UNCLASSIFIED Once Requirements are Approved For Non-Major System Procurements (similar to USN/USMC ACAT IV), the Coast Guard uses the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) framework to provide oversight & management to the project This process is vendor oriented Most partnering with industry is initiated through RFI’s/RFP’s. RFI’s are our way of insuring our specs are accurate, state of market & affordable Minimal $$$ available for acquisitions
