The CBA is an analytical method the DoD uses to identify needed capabilities and associated capability gaps that are eventually transformed into requirements.
Specified and described by the governing documents of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS), the CBA is intended to answer several key questions for the validation authority prior to their approval: define the mission; identify capabilities required; determine the attributes/standards of the capabilities; identify capability gaps and redundancies; assess operational risk associated with the gaps; prioritize the gaps; identify and assess potential non-materiel solutions; and finally provide recommendations for addressing the gaps. (Source: CJCSI 3170.01I – Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System).
A CBA may be based on a Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) approved concept; a Concept of Operations (CONOPs) endorsed by a combatant command, Service, or defense agency; or an identified operational need. A CBA may be initiated by any number of organizations, to include combatant commands, Functional Capabilities Boards (FCBs), Services, and Defense agencies.
The results of the CBA should support any resulting Analysis of Alternatives (AoA). Also, joint experimentation and technology development are linked to the CBA process.
