This paper presents a process for generating capability requirements based upon intended/needed operations and mission objectives. The process addresses the uncertainties associated with: Understanding the customer/user problem Selecting analysis and documentation methods best suited to the problem. The uncertainty associated with the customer/user problem is addressed by having the process stringently separate the analysis phase from the requirements (“shall”) statements documentation phase. The uncertainty associated with analysis and documentation methods is addressed by having the process include an early phase in which one typical capability is analyzed in depth and then abstracted into requirements statements. The objective is to select and tailor methods prior to addressing the full range of capabilities that need to be specified. This paper also identifies the value that the current system modeling methods bring to the process.
