DOTMLPF-P Analysis

Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities, and Policy (DOTMLPF-P) is a decision-making analysis and is the first step in the Functional Solutions Analysis (FSA). It determines/recommends whether a non-material or material approach is required to fill a capability gap identified in the Functional Needs Analysis (FNA).  It includes the entire life cycle,

Production & Deployment (PD) Phase

The Production and Deployment (PD) Phase is where a system that satisfies an operational capability is produced and deployed to an end-user.  The phase has two major efforts; (1) Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and (2) Full-Rate Production and Deployment (FRP&D).  The phase begins after a successful Milestone C review and Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD)

Capability Production Document (CPD)

Update: The CPD has been eliminated from the JCIDS process The Capability Production Document (CPD) captures the information necessary to support production, testing, and deployment of an affordable and supportable increment within an acquisition strategy. The CPD identifies, in threshold/objective format, the specific attributes that contribute most significantly to the desired operational capability. The CPD
