Strategic Capability Process Leverages
Information Gathered Through Capability Studies

• DelCap Examined capabilities needed to meet
  Defense Program Deliverables (LEPs)
• SAND 2002-2429
• JelCap Examined health of NWSBU capabilities
• SAND 2001-2508
• People
• Capital Equipment
• Facilities
• StratCap Adds in information regarding work
  content
• Coordinated by Rick Fellerhoff
• Strategic Capability Process Leverages above to
  address people, facilities, CE and work content
  required to meet near and long term needs of
  NWSBU
• Yearly process that impacts budget for each
  capability
• Initiated in FY03

Objectives of Strategic Capabilities Process

• Increased communication and leverage between
  Critical Capabilities
• Provide direction and focus for capabilities
• Systematic, greater attention to health of
  strategic capabilities
• Uniform basis for assessment and discussion
• Annual process for prioritization of support
• Provision of guidance to LDRD, Capital Equipment,
  Construction processes, SEPR ?
• Outcomes
• Much less effort defining work scope and funding
  for strategic capabilities
• Greater certainty for line organizations
• Fewer strategic capabilities at risk

SEPR Supporting Many of NWSBU Critical
Capabilities

• Priorities ?
• Short and long term balance ?

9
Long Term Capability Needs

• Grant Heffelfinger Overview 5 focus areas
  addressing the long-term NWSBU Needs
• In-depth Presentations addressing benefits that
  SEPR provides to NWSBU capabilities
• Justine Johannes Process Science.
• Eliot Fang Micro and Nano Sciences.

10
Questions and Recommendations

• Are we addressing the critical science-based
  simulation capabilities required by the NWSBU?
• Short and long term ?
• Is there a process in place to integrate, on a
  yearly basis, the evolving NWSBU capability
  requirements?
• Leverage the NWSBU Strategic Capabilities Review
  Process
• Will provide information/guidance in 1st quarter
  of CY03
