Capability Development Document

A Capability Development Document (CDD) is a formal report used primarily in defense and military planning. It outlines the necessary capabilities needed to address specific operational challenges or requirements. The document details the objectives, performance standards, and resources needed to develop and deploy systems or technologies effectively. It serves as a guide for decision-makers to ensure that the armed forces can achieve their mission goals efficiently while addressing current and future threats. Essentially, it helps ensure that military strategies align with the tools and systems available.
