1. Addressing JCIDS Criticism
Major Criticisms of the JCIDS Process:
Solution development and delivery are not timely
Decisions are made late to need or with poorly scoped information
Process is complex, cumbersome and too document-centric
Lacks mechanisms to focus review across portfolios
Does not control “requirements creep”
Does not include key customers (Combatant Commands (CCMDs)) in the decision process
Does not have tracking mechanisms to trace developments from gap identification through solution fielding

2. …. the JROC is charged with shaping the force
Law and Policy
Title 10 Responsibilities (as modified by 2009 Weapon System Acquisition Reform Act and 2011 National Defense Authorization Act)
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) shall assist the Vice Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (VCJCS)…
In making cost, schedule, and performance trades
In prioritizing joint military requirements
The JROC must…
Consider input from Combatant Commanders on joint requirements
Consider cost, schedule and performance tradeoffs in establishing requirements
Set an Initial Operational Capability (IOC) schedule objective for each requirement
All the Above Emphasized in the JROC Charter (CJCSI 5123 series)
More Than Any Other Body,
…. the JROC is charged with shaping the force

3. What Has Happened in the Past
Construct Ineffective; Does Not Encourage/Promote Incisive Questions/Discussions
Little consideration of cost/schedule/performance tradeoffs
No prioritization within and across portfolios…little to no risk analysis
Document and process intensive -- bureaucratic and time consuming
Little impact on shaping the force
Congressional Question for the Record (Gen Dempsey Confirmation Hearing)
“General Dempsey, what’s the remedy for Admiral Mullen’s belief that DoD has ‘lost the ability to prioritize, to make hard decisions, to do tough analysis, to make trades’?”
JROC Criticisms (Defense Science Board, Defense Business Board, Government Accountability Office,…)
Not making the hard decision regarding cost/schedule/performance
Perceived as not timely and too document centric

4. Where are We Going Take the Lead in Shaping the Force:
Debate the difficult issues and make difficult choices earlier
Better upfront fidelity on cost/schedule/performance tradeoffs
More analytic rigor and risk/portfolio analysis
Stronger emphasis on prioritizing requirements/ capabilities
More dynamic/iterative process throughout a program’s lifecycle. (Revisit as necessary…strategy shifts, threat changes, etc.)
Create a More Dynamic and Iterative Process…Make Difficult Choices Throughout the Requirements Process Continuum!!

5. How We are Getting There
Limit the Audience so Determinative Discussion/ Decisions can be Made
More Tank-like
JROC Principals+1, Combatant Command (CCMD) Principals+1
Statutory Advisors or their Deputy:
Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology & Logistics) (USD(AT&L), Under Secretary (Policy) (USD(P), Under Secretary (Comptroller ) (USD(C), Director, Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation (CAPE), and Director, Operational Test & Evaluation (DOT&E)
Joint Staff J-7
Functional Capability Board (FCB) Chair
Minimal others by invitation only…
Cost vs. Capability vs. Risk – Better Upfront Analysis of Alternatives
FCB Review of Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) prior to Milestone A
Highlight non-materiel approaches as alternative or in conjunction with materiel solutions
Tee up the appropriate debate
Tougher decisions on the 80% solution (i.e. knee in the curve)
More portfolio analysis to determine risk
Include Special Access Programs (SAP) in the portfolio review
Solution Centric Vice Document/Process Centric – Faster Timelines

6. Recent Changes to JCIDS
Consolidated Four Instructions Into Two and JCIDS Manual
CJCSI 5123 (JROC Charter) and CJCSI 3170 (JCIDS), 10 Jan 2012
JCIDS Manual, 19 Jan 2012
Cancelled: CJCSI 3137 (FCBs) and CJCSI 3470 (JUONs)
Adjusted JROC Venue to be More Tank-like with FCBs Briefing Issues and Providing Portfolio-Level Assessment
Incorporated SAP Aspects into the discussion
Requires FCB Joint Prioritization of all Capability Requirements Within Their Portfolio
Stand Up of the SAP Integration Group to Comprehensively Integrate Requirements/Capabilities and Provide Recommendations for Joint Capability Board (JCB)/JROC Consideration

7. Recent Changes to JCIDS (Con’t)
Validation Decision Considers Cost, Schedule, Performance and Quantity Targets in JROC Memoranda (JROCMs) as Appropriate with Expanded Tripwire Process
Clarified the Ability of the JROC to Call for a Review of Previously Validated Requirements/Programs
Mandated Shorter Document Lengths
Applied “Information Technology Box” (IT Box) Construct to Initial Capabilities Documents (ICDs) – Information System (IS) ICD, to Allow Greater Flexibility and Response to Evolving Technologies
Require Studies Notification and Repository
Use of Capability Development Tracking & Management (CDTM) Tool for Document Generation (exceptions: Information Systems Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), Urgent Operational Needs documents, and above SECRET documents).
Formalized Capability Gap Assessment (CGA) Process – Review and Assessment of CCMD Integrated Priority Lists (IPLs) by FCBs
Validation by any validation authority means:
The capability requirements and proposed IOC/FOC for capability solutions meet the national military strategy and the needs of the CCMDs.
The capability requirements are prioritized and do not represent unnecessary redundancy in capabilities across the Joint force.
Capability solutions have had appropriate consideration of tradeoffs between cost, schedule, and performance.
Estimated resource levels required to satisfy the capability requirement are consistent with the priority of the capability requirement.
Gatekeeper (J-8/DDR) maintains a study repository in KM/DS. Sponsors post notices of study initiation, study results, terminations, and assessments of JCTDs, UONs/JUONs/JEONs.

8. Recent Changes to JCIDS (Con’t)
Incorporates Pre-Milestone A Review of AoA Results in Support of Providing Cost/Schedule/Performance Recommendations to the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA)
Requires Draft Capability Development Document (CDD) (Component-Level; Not Submitted to Joint Staff) to Support Technology Development Phase
Greater J-7 Role to Emphasize Non-Materiel Solutions and Considerations to Capability Gaps
Streamlines Joint Staff Procedures and Timelines by 50% to Increase Effectiveness and Responsiveness of the Requirements Development Process
Provides Three Lanes to Requirements Development to Respond to Capability Gaps within Acceptable Timeframes and Risks…Deliberate, Urgent, and Emergent
Alternate Document Formats Approved by J-8 in July 2012 – Reduces ICD, CDD, CPD, DCR, JUON and JEON document sections
For programs of JROC or JCB Interest, the appropriate FCBs review the AoA and recommended alternative, and together with the Sponsor, brief the JCB or JROC on the AoA recommendations and FCB assessment to facilitate the JCB or JROC providing informed advice to the MDA on the best approach to satisfy the capability requirement(s).
The FCB AoA review must be completed in sufficient time to permit preparation of a draft CDD, not submitted to JCIDS for validation at this time, to inform the Technology Development Strategy (TDS) and the RFP for the Technology Development Phase.

9. Three Requirements “Lanes”
“Keep right, except to pass”
Deliberate Requirements
Service, CCMD or Agency Driven
Traditional route for 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
Urgent and compelling to prevent loss of life and/or mission failure during current operations
Require little tech development and can be resolved in less than two years
J-8, Deputy Director for Requirements (DDR) validates
0 – 2
YRS
0+ to 5 YRS

YRS U R G E N T E M R G N T D E L I B R A T
The Deliberate Requirements process is characterized by the traditional route to identifying capability gaps and proposed solutions – the CBA process, documenting the CBA results in an ICD and/or DCR, and proceeding to a Materiel Development Decision and an Analysis of Alternatives to support a materiel solution decision. This is followed by prototyping, design, development and production.
Emergent Requirements. Planning for anticipated contingency operations may identify operational needs which represent potential mission failure or unacceptable loss of life once operations commence, if not satisfied by a rapidly acquired capability solution. These capability requirements may qualify for submission as Joint Emergent Operational Needs (JEONs) or DOD Component UONs for expedited validation and rapid acquisition efforts.
Urgent Requirements. Planning for ongoing contingency operations may identify urgent operational needs (UONs) which represent potential for critical mission failure or unacceptable loss of life if not satisfied by a rapidly acquired capability solution. These capability requirements may qualify for submission as Joint UONs (JUONs) or DOD Component UONs for expedited validation and rapid acquisition efforts.
Rapid acquisition includes activities to develop and implement capability solutions in a shorter timeframe than typical of deliberate DAS processes. Rapid acquisition activities may also include expedited procurement of COTS/GOTS/NDI solutions, or modification/ acceleration of existing development programs initiated under the Deliberate process. Specific acquisition process to be followed for each validated capability requirement will be determined by the Milestone Decision Authority (MDA).

Urgent vs. Emergent Situations
Urgent Situations (Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON))
Ongoing conflict or crisis
Failure to act will result in:
Direct enemy-action related loss of life and/or
Critical mission failure
JUON Validated by J-8, DDR
Staffing goal of 15 days
Emergent Situations (Joint Emergent Operational Need (JEON))
Anticipated or pending contingency operation
Must act before operations commence to avoid:
Enemy-action related loss of life and/or
Critical mission failure
Must be verified by VCJCS
VJCS designates JEON validation authority, JCB or JROC
Staffing goal of 31 days
Warrior feedback from a conflict or crisis situation identifies urgent situations. Units in conflict or crisis may face unforeseen military requirements that DOD must resolve as soon as possible. When these situations threaten the lives of United States or allied personnel, or if these situations threaten mission accomplishment, commanders may initiate the Urgent Operational Need (UON) process – either for joint needs (JUONs), or if only applicable to one military service – component level UON process.
JEONs are UONs affecting two or more DOD Components and are driven by anticipated contingency operations. JEONs are submitted by CCMDs in accordance with the JCIDS Manual.
JEONs are first confirmed by the VCJCS, via the Gatekeeper and DJ-8, due to the unique nature of capability requirements associated with anticipated contingency operations. The VCJCS will also identify the validation authority as the JCB or JROC. Once the VCJCS provides confirmation that the JEON may use the emergent process, JEONs are assigned to a Lead FCB and JRAC for collaborative review.
Sponsors must provide an assessment of operational utility within 90 days of initial fielding

The new deliberate staffing process begins when the Gatekeeper receives a new document via the KM/DS system. The Gatekeeper has 4 calendar days to perform initial review of the document and assign the new document to a Lead and supporting FCBs.
Initial staffing of documents is conducted for 21 calendar days from the assignment of the document to the lead FCB. Staffing consists of two parallel activities:
The lead FCB forms a working group (WG) from lead and supporting FCB subject matter experts from across DOD. FCB and FCB WG activities include: Performing an assessment of the document, including comparison of capability requirements within the document against existing capability requirements, development programs, and fielded capability solutions within their FCB portfolio. The FCB Joint priority list will be updated to reflect the new capability requirement.
(2) In parallel with the FCB assessment, documents with JSDs other than Independent are available to Services, CCMDs, and other DOD Components for commenting via the KM/DS system. Comments are due by the end of the initial 21 day staffing period.
Following FCB review and KM/DS staffing, the Sponsor has 30 calendar days to adjudicate comments from the FCBs, certifying or endorsing organizations, or KM/DS staffing.
Following Sponsor comment adjudication, the FCB has 7 calendar days to review the changes, ensure certifying or endorsing organizations concur with Sponsor adjudication and assist the FCB Chair in reaching a validation recommendation.
Once receiving a positive validation recommendation from the Chair of the lead FCB, validation by the JCB/JROC takes no longer than 21 calendar days.

13. Urgent/Emergent Staffing
JUON and JEON staffing begins when the Gatekeeper receives the document from the Sponsor. The Gatekeeper has one day to perform initial review. Following confirmation that the JUON meets the appropriate entry criteria, JUONs are assigned directly to a Lead FCB for review.
JEONs are first confirmed by the VCJCS, via the Gatekeeper and DJ-8. The VCJCS will identify the validation authority as the JCB or JROC. Once the VCJCS provides confirmation that the JEON may use the emergent process, JEONs are assigned to a Lead FCB and JRAC for collaborative review.
The Lead FCB, in collaboration with the JRAC, assesses the validity of the JUON or JEON and identifies potential solution approaches which could satisfy the capability requirement in the requested timeframe. The Lead FCB updates the FCB Joint prioritization to reflect the placement of the new capability requirement(s) within their priority list. At the end of their assessment, the Chair of the lead FCB, with a JRAC representative makes a recommendation to the validation authority either for or against validation.
The validation authority will make one of the following decisions: 1) Validate and proceed to a solution sponsor. 2)Validate part – proceed through a mix of urgent and deliberate processes. 3)Reject – recommend accept risk, adopt a non-materiel approach, or pursue through deliberate process.

14. Joint Prioritization
Each FCB Will Establish Joint Priorities for all Capability Requirements Submitted for Their Portfolios in ICDs, JEONs, JUONs, or DoD Component UONs
Successor Documents – CDDs, CPDs, and Joint DOTmLPF-P Change Recommendations (Joint DCRs) Do Not Require Additional Prioritization Unless Submitted Without a Preceding ICD
Joint Priorities are Established During the FCB JCIDS Document Staffing Process
Sponsor Priorities “will not be considered during FCB assessments of joint priorities”
DOTmLPF-P: Doctrine, Organization, Training, materiel, Leadership & Education, Personnel Facilities and Policy

15. JCB/JROC Tripwire
JROC/JCB Tripwire is a JROC Process Established to Review JROC and JCB Interest Programs That Deviate From Cost, Schedule, or Quantity Targets Established at the Time of Validating CDDs or Capability Production Documents (CPDs).
Programs Must Return to the JROC or JCB for Revalidation if they Experience:
Cost. Cost growth equal to or greater than 10 percent over their current baseline or 25 percent over their original baseline as defined in the Acquisition Program Baseline (APB).
Schedule. Schedule slip for Initial Operational Capability (IOC) or Full Operational Capability (FOC) equal to or greater than 12 months from IOC and FOC targets set in the validation JROC Memorandum (JROCM).
Quantity. Reduction in end-item quantities equal to or greater than 10 percent from a quantity target set in the validation JROCM.
Lead FCB Initiates a Tripwire Review Based Upon First Knowledge of Cost, Schedule, and/or Quantity Changes Reaching the Tripwire Values.

18. JCIDS Alternate Document Formats
Reorganization of content within JCIDS documents
Provides better logical flow and reduced redundancies within documents, making it easier to meet document page limits.
Provides better traceability from source of requirements through ICD to successor documents.
No content has been removed, so all equities are still addressed without need for official re-staffing.
ICD Format: Sections reduced from seven to five. IS-ICD length and content now same as regular ICD.
CDD/CPD Format: Sections reduced from sixteen to twelve. IS-CDD format added.
DCR Format: Sections reduced from nine to five.
JUON/JEON Format: Sections reduced from thirteen to eight.
General
Alternate document formats are intended to reorganize/streamline content for interim efficiencies until next JCIDS update.
CDTM ver. 2.0 reflects alternate document formats
JCIDS document formats, with required contend are found in the JCIDS Manual.
Alternate document formats are located at in section 4 of the Contents, DJ-8 Approved Alternate JCIDS Document Formats.
Upon the next JCIDS update, the alternate formats are expected to become the primary format.

The NR-KPP is used to address:
Requirements. Evaluate interoperability and net-centric requirements for the system.
Information Exchanges. Verify the Information System (IS) supports operationally effective producer to consumer information exchanges according to the Sponsor’s validated capability requirements and applicable reference models and reference architectures MOEs and MOPs.
Provide MOEs and MOPs to evaluate IS’s ability to meet the threshold and objective or initial minimum values when testing the system for joint interoperability certification.
Interoperability Issues. Analyze and identify potential interoperability issues early in the IS’s life cycle and identify joint interfaces through systems engineering and architecture development. IS architecture in JCIDS documents is developed according to the current DODAF.
Compliance. Determine whether IS complies with network operations (NETOPS) for the GIG direction, GIG 2.0 goals and characteristics, and is integrated into system development.
Spectrum Requirements. To obtain a NR-KPP certification, all IS must comply with spectrum management and E3 direction. The spectrum requirements process includes Joint, DOD, national, and international policies and procedures for the management and use of the electromagnetic spectrum.
J-8 Deputy Director, C4 conducts interoperability certification of JCIDS Documents. Interoperability test certification is conducted by the Joint Interoperability Text Command.

28. Information System (IS) ICD
IS ICDs Implement the “Information Technology (IT) Box” Model
IS ICDs are Required When the Solution Requires Research and Development, and Acquisition of Applications with a Projected Software Development Cost of Over $15 Million
Not Used for Software Embedded as a Subset of a Capability Solution Developed IAW Other Validated JCIDS Documents
IS ICD Applies to:
Commercial off the Shelf (COTS)/Government off the Shelf (GOTS) software, and associated hardware without modification
Commercial capability solutions with integrated, DoD-specific performance standards
Additional production or modification of previously developed U.S and/or Allied or interagency systems or equipment
Development, integration, and acquisition of customized application software
IS ICDs are used to document capability requirements and associated capability gaps where the intended solution approach involves research, development, and acquisition of applications system software, and the projected software development costs exceed $15 million. IS with development costs less than $15 million are not subject to JCIDS process.
Biennial FCB Review. For all IS programs with a valid IS ICD, the lead FCB shall receive a brief every second year following the validation. The lead FCB will determine if the JROC or JCB should review the following briefing items, and will make appropriate recommendations for action.
Progress in delivering capability solutions within the required timeframe and available funding.
Compliance with applicable enterprise architecture and data standards.
Other items identified by the IS ICD validation memo.
“IT Box” model calls for fewer iterations of validating documents through the JCIDS process by describing the overall IS program in the IS ICD, and delegating validation of detailed follow-on requirement and solution oversight to a flag-level organization other than the JROC or JCB.

29. Information System (IS) ICD (Con’t)
CDDs & CPDs are Not Required as Successor Documents for non-MDAP IS; for non- MDAP IS Sponsors Have Management Flexibility for Alternate Documents
JCIDS Manual Provides Examples of Potential non-MDAP IS ICD Follow-On Documents (Actual Names, Content, and Approval TBD by the Delegated Validation Authority):
Requirements Definition Package (RDP) – identifies KPPs and non-materiel changes
Capability Drop (CD) – lower level document that specifies the characteristics of a “widget” or “app” for partial deployment of the solution
FCB is Briefed Every 2nd Year After Validation on Progress Toward Delivering the Solution (May Recommend JROC Oversight)
If the Information System is not a Major Defense Acquisition Program (ACAT I), CDDs and CPDs are not required as successor documents to an IS ICD. Requirements Definition Packages (RDPs) and Capability Drops are examples of Sponsor documents used for managing follow-on efforts but are not intended to limit potential flexibilities provided by the IS ICD, or a previously validated ICD or CDD which the validation authority has approved for transition to the IT Box model.
Business IS are not normally subject to JROC Review – However, FCBs have visibility of business case documents posted to KM/DS and if FCB decides the system has “joint equities” can recommend joint oversight.

30. JCIDS – Major Changes Summary
Three Processes – deliberate, urgent, emergent
JCIDS Documents – ICD, CDD, CPD, DCR page count restricted.
Information Systems ICD – new document supports IT Box; non-MDAP IS do not require CDD/CPD follow-on.
Cost Tables – required for IS ICD, CDD, CPD and DCR.
Staffing – streamlined. Deliberate (83 days) & urgent/emergent (15/31 days).
Role of FCB Strengthened – FCB Chair briefs JROC, not the JCIDS Sponsor and not the PM. FCB will review AoA results.
Prioritization – new process. FCBs will prioritize capability requirements within their portfolios – input from the Sponsor will not be considered.
KPPs – six “mandatory” (Force protection, survivability, sustainment, net-ready (major changes), training, and energy). If not used, must justify why not.
Draft CDD Required for TD Phase – Component level; not submitted to KM/DS.
Affordability – cost considered in document review and validation processes.
Tripwires – Return to JROC or JCB for cost growth over 10% (current APB) or 25% (original APB), and for IOC or FOC slips of 12 months or greater, and for quantity reductions greater than 10% (of targets set in document validation JROCM).
