Who we are supporting
Allied Command Transformation (ACT) is NATO’s leading agent for change: driving, facilitating, and advocating the continuous improvement of Alliance capabilities to maintain and enhance the military relevance and effectiveness of the Alliance. The main objectives of ACT are: providing appropriate support to NATO missions and operations; leading NATO military transformation; and improving relationships, interaction, and practical cooperation with partners, nations, and international organisations. ACT therefore leads Alliance concept development, capability development, training, and lessons-learned initiatives and provides unfettered military support to policy development within NATO.
The program
Capability Development & Management Support (CDMS)
DCOS Capability Development (CAPDEV) acts as the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation's Director for guidance, direction, and co-ordination of the activities and resources of the Capability Development Directorate.
The Requirements Division will execute all tasks and activities needed to support requirements management for NATO capabilities
The Capability Requirements (CR) Branch will develop the Capability Requirements Brief and recommended courses of action to resolve issues associated with the life cycle management of requirements using matrixed, cross-functional project-specific Requirements Management teams.
The Requirements Forward Branch (Mons) is responsible for conducting requirements development management representation and engagement-related functions in Europe.
The Capability Division coordinates the development of capabilities from capability planning through acceptance and then disposal with management entities, NATO Headquarters staff, and the NATO Governance Structure
The Capability Forward Branch (Mons) coordinates with ACO, NCIA, NSPA, NATO HQ, territorial Host Nations, and NATO Centres of Excellence (COEs) in support of the development of capabilities.
Strategic Plans and Policy (SPP) supports Allied Command Transformation in formalizing military advice to shape future military strategy, political guidance, and other policy documents in support of NATO’s strategic objectives.
Following the NATO Madrid Summit in June 2022, the NATO Heads of State have agreed on a substantial increase in the level of funding available to deliver NATO Alliance-level capability change programmes. This funding increase ramps up from 2023-2030 and necessitates changes to NATO’s capability delivery model to achieve the ambition set out by the Nations.
NATO capability delivery programmes cover a variety of areas, such as Communications and Information Systems (CIS, e.g. operational Command and Control (C2) information systems), infrastructure investment to support military readiness and alliance-funded platform acquisition.
ACT and ACO are working with NATO Headquarters and delivery Agencies to improve the efficiency of NATO’s capability delivery model, and are preparing to increase the speed and volume of capability delivery. ACT will increase the number and variety of supporting analysis studies (including Course of Action (COA) analysis and Analysis of Alternatives (AoA)) carried out to match the increased scope of capability delivery.
The Operational Analysis Branch provides analysts to programme teams to drive and support evidence-based decision-making in requirements derivation and programmatic planning. In this SOW, “Operational Analysis” (predominantly military term) is used interchangeably with “Operations Research” (US term) and “Operational Research” (UK term).
COA analysis supports capability development programme teams to determine appropriate DOTMLPFI methods and capability architectures for meeting the military user’s operational requirements and defining programmatic structures. AoA supports programme teams in determining appropriate acquisition strategies and demonstrates to NATO’s governance bodies that programme plans are structured to deliver value for money.
COA analysis typically involves engaging with the programme team to understand programmatic areas of uncertainty, designing and facilitating workshops to gather stakeholder views (including within the military NATO Command Structure, delivery Agencies and Centres of Excellence, and/or the NATO Force Structure), gathering or generating (if appropriate) cost, risk, schedule, and effectiveness evidence, and comparative options assessment. This may include the development or elicitation of Measures of Performance (MoPs) and Measures of Effectiveness (MoEs); assessment of absolute and comparative risks; elicitation of schedule estimates; and review of cost estimates for appropriateness to support this assessment.
Analysis of Alternatives similarly involves the comparative assessment of options in terms of costs, risks, schedules, and operational effectiveness. The AoA tests the commercial marketplace and NATO’s ability to re-use capabilities that are in service in member Nations' militaries. It establishes whether NATO should procure a managed service, adopt National capability solutions, acquire products from industry, or develop bespoke solutions. For complex programmes, the AoA can inform programmatic structures by showing how value for money is most likely to be achieved.
