Through Life Capability Management (TLCM) is the dominant theme of proposed
changes to UK defence acquisition, but progress has been hindered by a lack of
agreed interpretations for key concepts. This paper provides some clarity for
Capability, Network Enabled Capability (NEC), TLCM, and Affordability and notes,
in particular, the fractal nature of capability.
Through stakeholder analysis and concept maps, we identify some of the major
challenges associated with TLCM. These include affordability (which is the
motivation for TLCM but may also be its stumbling block); the increased priority of
agility, adaptability, and flexibility in capability planning; and the need for
appropriate TLCM metrics. The lack of an explicit learning mechanism within the
capability planning process is also a major deficiency, because TLCM relies on
effective knowledge management.
The changing role of industry is considered and the need for an holistic view of
capability is emphasised.
