From the executive summary: “The Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) has evolved from an aspiring solution to meet joint warfighting needs into a bureaucratic impediment that actively impedes military modernization. Analysis reveals a system that consumes more than 800 days to validate requirements— nearly 2.5 years during which technology evolves, threats advance, and opportunities evaporate. This is not merely inefficient; it represents an existential threat to America’s military advantage in an era when commercial technology cycles span only months and adversaries are increasingly agile in capability development.”
