Synopsis

This functional solution analysis is the third in a trio of documents that the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System requires for a capabilities-based assessment of intratheater airlift capabilities. The analysis examined nonmateriel options for preserving airlift capacity by delaying the need to recapitalize the fleet. Without viable, enduring nonmateriel solutions, there is a need to evaluate materiel solutions.

From the Inside Flap

This functional solution analysis assesses changes to current U.S. Air Force operations to determine whether a nonmateriel solution could close the capability gap identified in the functional needs analysis.
