Introduction
Scope:
Outline the Capability Development Process
Outline the ‘tools’ for achieving coherence
Outline the emerging NNEC ‘focus areas’
Consider the relationship with Architectures
Aim: to inform you of emerging thinking

Capability Area Plan
NNEC CAP will provide common overall perspective
Operational needs (required sub-capabilities)
Short, mid and long term goals and objectives
Major milestones and resource requirements
Management of risks
NATO / EAPC UNCLASSIFIED

6. Capability Area Improvement ‘Programs’
NNEC CAIPs intended to be 5-6 year ‘roadmaps’ for coordinating capability development and implementation (“mid-term plans”)
Groups all related activities (across DOTMLPFI) into logical solution paths to achieve desired needs
Provides visibility of interdependencies and milestones across key programs, projects and activities
A management & coherency tool intended to encompass:
Changes to existing projects
Introduction of new projects
NATO and national contributions

Reasoning for Focus Areas;
This is very much work in progress.
Focus areas are intended to be the subject for the initial set of CAIPs
Confident that these are a reasonable set of focus areas that reflects the outcome of the FS and our understanding of some of the work ongoing in the nations in the NEC area
It’s about establishing shared ground for the nations and help us focus and prioritize our efforts
These may need to be refined as operational concepts are developed and doctrine matures – however, don’t see any major revisions unless we get this completely wrong

Visibility of interdependencies and critical paths across activities
Services largely provided through existing programs/projects
Existing CPs will map into more than one CAIP
Will necessitate ‘steering’ of existing programs/projects
Existing program/project management structures retained
Architecture development is critical to deliver coherent set of services

TAs describe interim solutions within CPs/Projects. Likely in mid-term to be a combination of ‘system’ & ‘service’ approaches?
