Analytic Agenda Deep Dives

•Timing: end of opening plenary to mid-day Wed•Topics/leads–Warfight; lead J8 WAD–SSSP/ISP; lead Army –Homeland Defense; lead TBD– Irregular Warfare; lead CAPE

•Potential questions for discussion:– Review DPS: what were the DPS challenges? Was the range of military options explored within the

DPS? How can this be addressed? Were significant risks to the defense strategy omitted when a single challenge was selected for MSFD development? How can that risk be mitigated?

– Review MSFD: describe red/blue/green forces & CONOPS; were there strategy gaps in the DPS that had to be addressed in the MSFD or could not be addressed in the MSFD development? What were they? How do we preclude that from happening?

– Review Analytical Baseline: were there gaps in the MSFD that had to be addressed in the study? What were they? Were there data sets that were missing that should/could have been included? What were the tools & metrics used? What was the review process? What insights were obtained? What excursions were assessed & why? How could the analysis have been improved?

– Downstream use: present examples of the subsequent use of this DPS/MSFD/Analytical Baseline; how well did the Analytic Agenda process support CONOPS and capabilities development or programming? How can we improve the feedback mechanism of the Analytic Agenda
