Identifying and Predicting Influential Factors Across the Materiel and Non-Materiel Solution Spectrum for Complex, Multi-Domain USAF Challenges

Clear Aspect Solutions (CAS) offers the Capabilities-Based Assessment Tool (CBAT) as the enabling analytical capability that already meets and even exceeds SBIR Phase I objectives.CBAT has been on a trajectory that currently finds it achieving some SBIR phase II objectives.CAS designed CBAT with a JCIDS driven architecture consistent with SDPE/PFD processes; already meets the SBIR Phase I technical requirement to estimate effectiveness of alternatives with robust cost analysis utility; has demonstrated limited but credible multi-domain capability on a USAF contract; is both extendable and expandable to meet multi-domain evaluation capabilities expected in the future; and features remarkably low infrastructure investment cost with a small implementation footprint sufficient to qualify as significant risk reduction for commercialization.The CBAT capability is itself innovative in several respects but is most noteworthy for flipping the typical MS&A investment profile on its head: yielding more opportunity for analysis and understanding of outcomes than in run development and production.CAS broad experience with front-end design and development, coupled with focused experience using CBAT in USAF study applications, informs not only a well-beyond-prototype, if not mature, technical offering but also an approach to using foundational processes that will open doors for innovative opportunities.
