The Challenges
Meeting the complex demands of force management is becoming increasingly difficult. Joint and multi-national forces need to be generated to carry out sustained expeditionary warfare, in a climate of constrained resources. Defense Forces must be prepared and structured to meet these enduring operational commitments while training and the recruitment of new personnel remains key to the ability to sustain operations.

Specific capability management issues create complex challenges:

• Force Planning requires that the current and predicted capability and sustainability is matched with future requirements, in the short, medium and long term.
  
  
• Force Preparation dictates that this capability needs to be managed effectively.
  
  
• Force Generation requires that the selected Force Elements, possess the necessary capability to meet commitments.

Fundamental to overcoming these challenges, is the ability to satisfy rapidly and objectively, the demands of joint, multilateral Force Generation. Decision makers at all levels, require a secure, accessible solution which facilitates collaborative working and provides an audit trail from the strategic to the individual. The generation of forces to meet threats, both conventional and asymmetric, continues to place even greater pressure on defense capabilities. Meeting the capability management requirements of expeditionary warfare, within a Network-Enabled environment, and co-ordinating the Force Planning, Preparation, Generation and Recovery cycle is a huge challenge for any military organization.

The Solution
Allocate Software realizes that Defense Forces require a single holistic software solution capable of absorbing legacy systems to address their capability management issues. To meet this requirement, the MAPS Defense Suite has been developed as a military off-the-shelf (MOTS) application, built in conjunction with Defense Forces.

MAPS includes:

• Integrated, time-based view of forces, preparedness and commitments with which to manage capability.
  
  
• Scenario planning to model alternative operational Courses of Action, changing future force structures and their respective impacts.
  
  
• Preparedness Management, enabling Force Elements to be held at a desired level of readiness to meet operational requirements.
  
  
• Intelligent selection of Force Elements to meet operational requirements and facilitate rapid deployment.
  
  
• Analysis and identification of potential future risks, such as competence shortfalls, vacant posts and events running over budget.
