This section identifies the validated capability requirements and associated gaps addressed by your CDD. It also outlines the results of related studies or analysis performed since validation of the capability requirements.

- For draft CDDs that support a TMRR phase, AoA results are a major driver of your CDD's content. Also bear in mind that AoA updates during TMRR and EMD may apply to revisions for the Development RFP Decision and the Milestone C review. Depending on your Service, there may be other studies conducted during each acquisition phase that you should consider.

- Ensure that the narrative for this section is consistent with the previously generated DoDAF SV-8, modified, if necessary, for the purposes of your CDD.
- Provide a link to any updated DoDAF CVs.
- Summarize any studies or analyses you used to derive the KPPs, KSAs, and APAs.

Capability Dependencies.

- Provide a link to your updated DoDAF SV-8, which captures all external dependencies between the capability solutions articulated in your CDD and fielded and planned systems. This includes interactions with intelligence capabilities where appropriate over.
- In the narrative for this section, discuss critical dependencies, and those with known risks or other issues.
- For Systems of Systems (SoS), the sponsor must ensure compatibility with related solutions in other CDDs and DCRs was well as synchronized development.
- Identify a lead sponsor in an associated JROC Memo for SoS solutions that involve multiple sponsors. This lead will coordinate efforts across all involved organizations.

Intelligence technologies & programs.

- Address whether any undeveloped intelligence technologies or the deactivation of fielded intelligence programs will impact your capability solution.
- Consider whether this will affect the effectiveness and timely delivery of the capability solution or increment.
- Ensure all timeframes for any enabling or program-required/dependent intelligence capabilities (fielded as well as future) are consistent with your capability solution's development schedule and planned IOC and FOC.

No validated ICD?

- If your CDD is not based on a validated ICD, provide the capability requirements and associated gap information outlined for Section 3 of an ICD in addition to the content outlined in this section. (see the ICD Tool)
