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

- For draft IS-CDDs that support a TMRR phase, AoA results are a major driver of your IS-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 IS-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 IS-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 IS-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 IS-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)
