2. INTRODUCTION

This illustrative rough order of magnitude (ROM) costed proposal describes examples of the support

and services that could be provided by the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI

Agency) under the Smart Defence Multinational Project on Alliance Defence Analysis and Planning

for Transformation (MN ADAPT).

This ROM is provided for information purposes only. Provision of any support by NCI Agency is

subject to a submission of an Official Proposal by NCI Agency to the requesting nations.

The proposed Work Packages and costs presented in this revised proposal (v3) reflect the direction

provided by national representatives at the MN ADAPT 2nd Workshop with Nations, 14th – 15th May

2013 (Ref C). This workshop agreed the scope, content and structure of the proposed MN ADAPT

multi-year programme of work for execution 2014 -2016. The Work Packages described in this

costed proposal reflect the agreed consolidation of the individual national activity requirements

submission provided by the 7 Statement of Interest nations in advance of the 2nd Workshop.

Release of Allied Command Transformation (ACT)-developed Defence Planning data will be subject

to explicit case-by-case authorisation from ACT. ACT retains the authority to provide release

approval for ACT-developed defence planning tools, products and data to national users. Individual

nations must formally request release of these from ACT and have received explicit ACT approval

before the NCI Agency will distribute any material to ADAPT members.

2. BACKGROUND

The NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) has over 20 years of unique

experience and expertise in multi-national, capability-based defence planning support and analysis.

Over this period, the NCI Agency has provided defence planning support and analytic expertise to

the NATO Defence Planning Process and developed and maintained mature and robust analytic

methodologies and supporting toolsets such as the Joint Defence Planning Analysis and

Requirements Toolset (JDARTS).

NATO UNCLASSIFIED


The track record includes supporting NATO, European Union Military Staff and Nations to perform

capability-based defence planning. Past and on-going bi-lateral projects with Nations include

cooperation with Bulgaria, France, Italy, and Norway. In addition, active interest has been

manifested by a number of additional NATO and Partner nations, including Canada, Czech Republic,

Estonia, Germany, Latvia, Finland, and Sweden. These projects support national balance of

investment decisions and help in maximizing the potential contributions of each nation to achieve

existing NATO targets and to address Priority Shortfall Areas.

All nations are struggling to maintain defence capability due to the severe and on-going financial

crisis. Declining defence expenditure in most NATO nations entails the necessity to make difficult

choices and decisions on the desired balance between investment in preserving current capability

structures, supporting operational commitments and evolving and transforming capabilities for the

future.

In order to deliver value to the national defence expenditures, the NCI Agency proposes the

establishment of Multinational Project for “Alliance Defence Analysis and Planning for

Transformation” (MN ADAPT), building on and optimizing the on-going bilateral cooperation with

the nations.

Initial reaction to the MN ADAPT proposal from the current JDARTS-using nations has been positive.

A Feasibility Review Meeting was held on 15th June 2012 and attended by representatives of

Bulgaria, France, Norway and Finland along with NCI Agency staffs and Allied Command

Transformation Staff Element Europe (Ref B). This Feasibility Review concluded that the MN ADAPT

multi-national co-operation proposal seemed feasible, and has the potential to deliver value to

participating nations.

The MN ADAPT 1st Workshop with Nations (16th – 17th Oct 2012) identified that the fundamental

requirement for MN ADAPT was to deliver value to nations by achieving financial efficiencies and

economies of scale through multi-national funding of common activities. This workshop concluded it

was essential to demonstrate the financial savings generated for each participating nation through

the multinational project. This revised version of the Outline Project Proposal includes tailored

illustrations of these savings for each nation that has indicated required work areas.

The MN ADAPT 2nd Workshop with Nations (14th – 15th May 2013) agreed an initial formulation of

activities for the Core Work Package for Year 1 (2014) and Year 2 (2015) plus an additional seven (7)

Discretionary Work Packages for potential execution through 2014 and 2015 (dependent on the

options decided by nations). These revised Work Packages are described in Section 5 of this

document, and the individual national costed proposals are provided in Annex C.

3. SCOPE

This Outline Project Proposal includes a listing of summary potential activity descriptions (Annex A)

and rough order of magnitude (ROM) costings (Annex B) for a wide range of analytic activities

potentially executable under NCI Agency Multi-national Project Proposal on Alliance Defence

Analysis and Planning for Transformation (MN ADAPT). This list of activities essentially provides a

NATO UNCLASSIFIED


menu of potential activities that could be required by the nations participating in MN ADAPT. The

Statement of Interest nations provided indication of their level of interest against each of the

activities in advance of the 2nd Workshop with Nations.

At the MN ADAPT 2nd Workshop with Nations, the Statement of Interest nations consolidated the

various national activity requirement submissions into a single agreed multi-year programme of

work (MY POW) for MN ADAPT. This provisional MY POW is described below in Section 5, and the

consequent cost implications for each nation summarised in Annex C.

4. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The MN ADAPT project will provide participating nations with insight and access to the analytic

expertise available to them within the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency).

Through participation in the MN ADAPT project, nations will gain deeper understanding and insight

into the analytic foundations of NATO Defence Planning. This understanding will enable informed

decisions as to adoption of elements of this process for national use, and establish the framework

for flexible provision of more in-depth NCI Agency analytic support through bi-lateral or

multinational Work Packages.

The value proposition of multi-national co-operation is to deliver financial efficiencies and

economies of scale through multi-national sponsorship of common activities, including:

• Education and training with NATO analytic approaches

• Facilitation and delivery of customised Defence Planning studies

• Release, installation and in-service support of tools and models

• Customised enhancements and developments of tools and models

O Always maintaining a single, NATO baseline configuration

• Enhance integration between existing Operations Planning and Defence Planning tools and

processes to minimise implementation costs to nations

Under the MN ADAPT proposal, NCI Agency will provide analytical consultancy and tool/model

provision to help Alliance members implement robust national capability-based planning processes,

drawing on established NATO best practice but tailored to fit national needs. This will allow NATO

nations to benefit directly from NCI Agency’s unique analytic expertise and from decades of

collective investment in NATO Defence Planning. In addition, MN ADAPT will provide a forum for

nations to develop and share evolving best practice on the application of these methods to national

defence planning.

More specifically, NCI Agency expertise will be provided to support adoption of appropriate

elements of the established NATO process:

• Insight, enhancement and development of representative planning situations (i.e. scenarios)

NATO UNCLASSIFIED


• Structured mission analysis (mission-to-task decomposition)

• Development and application of models/tools such as the Joint Defence Planning Analysis

and Requirements Toolset (JDARTS) to determine the type and amount of capabilities required to

meet national requirements, expressed in reference units (i.e. standards)

• Assessment of nation's capabilities against capability requirements

• Automated mapping of existing/planned capabilities within Nations against national

requirements (optimization models) to identify the required capabilities along with associated

shortfalls and surpluses.

5. PROVISIONAL MULTI-YEAR PROGRAMME OF WORK

The MN ADAPT Programme of Work will comprise each year of a single ‘Core’ Work Package to

which every participating nation will contribute, and a variable number of ‘Discretionary’ Work

Packages that nations may or may not wish to participate in.

The MN ADAPT 2nd Workshop with Nations (14th – 15th May 2013) agreed an initial formulation of

activities for the Core Work Package for Year 1 (2014) and Year 2 (2015) plus an additional seven (7)

Discretionary Work Packages for potential execution through 2014 and 2015 (dependent on the

options decided by nations).

The agreed provisional MY POW was as follows:

Summary descriptions and provisional ROM costings of the work items associated with each of the

Work Package activities follow in Section 5.1 – 5.2.

The total cost of each of WPs is included in the table of activities shown below.

Cost implications by individual nation are summarised in Annex C, based on a range of number of

nations participating.

Participation in the MN ADAPT project will require each nation to pay the MN ADAPT Joining fee.

This is a mandatory fee that covers the administrative work in relation to the setting up of the

arrangements between NCI Agency and each Participating Nation and the administrative work in

relation to a Participating Nation’s withdrawal from MN ADAPT. This fee will be the same for each

Participating Nation and is a one-time payment. The cost of the joining fee is estimated at 15 kEUR

per nation.

Table 1: MN ADAPT Joining Fee Cost

5.1 Core Work Packages

Every MN ADAPT nation contributes to the costs of the annual Core Work Package.

The annual Core Work Package will include provision of the MN ADAPT Project Office plus an agreed

set of common activities. The NCI Agency will establish and maintain a MN ADAPT Project Office to

support execution of the project. NCI Agency staff will provide all necessary executive, management

and administrative support to the MN ADAPT project to ensure successful delivery of the project.

The annual running costs of the MN ADAPT Project Office will be shared equally across all

participating nations.

The annual Core Work Package will include provision of 2 training courses per year in the set of

common activities. Training course content can be tailored, and the focus of each course will be

decided on the basis of consensus across all participating nations at the MN ADAPT Project Board on

an annual basis

All MN ADAPT participating nations will contribute towards the core WPs and the costs will be

shared equally across all these nations.

6. TAILORED COSTS & SAVINGS PER NATION FOR MN ADAPT MY POW

The fundamental requirement for MN ADAPT was to deliver value to nations by achieving financial

efficiencies and economies of scale through multi-national funding of common activities. It is

essential to demonstrate the financial savings generated for each participating nation through the

multinational project. Annex C of the Outline Project Proposal contains tailored illustrations of these

savings for each nation that has indicated required work areas.

The specific costs and savings per nation are dependent on 2 main factors:

1. The volume of work conducted within the Core WPs. The greater the volume of work

conducted in the Core WPs (i.e. the more agreement on common work areas between

nations), the higher the ratio of Core WP cost to Project Support cost and the greater the

potential benefit of multinational cooperation. Two options are considered, the Low and

High Volume Core WP options described above.

2. The number of nations participating in MN ADAPT. The more nations participate in MN

ADAPT, then the less the cost to any single nation through enhanced multinational cost

sharing of Project Support (excluding Joining Fee) and Core WPs. The examples below

consider from 1 (bi-lateral) to 8 nations participating.

Annex C illustrates the potential costs and savings of the various national permutations of the above

factors.

7. SUMMARY

The fundamental requirement for MN ADAPT is to deliver value to nations by achieving financial

efficiencies and economies of scale through multi-national funding of common activities.

The tailored costs and savings examples Annex C demonstrate the financial savings generated for the

nations through the multinational project.

A.3 Establish Multinational Defence Planning Battlelab

NCI Agency could establish and maintain a standing multi-national defence planning laboratory

(‘Battlelab’) at the NCI Agency. The laboratory would provide a convenient and cost-effective

mechanism for nations to access the capabilities of NATO defence planning tools such as JDARTS

without the need to incur the upfront expense of establishing a facility on their home territory.

Nations can thus realise the benefits of NATO processes and tools whilst avoiding the procurement,

training and operating costs inherent in the following Work Package (WP4).

NCI Agency would provide and maintain the laboratory facility along with the necessary hardware

and software infrastructure at the NCI Agency site in The Hague, Netherlands. NCI Agency staff

would perform the necessary technical and administrative functions to ensure that this facility is

available to participating nations to support delivery of tailored defence planning studies.

familiarisation with NATO Defence Planning approaches and establish an initial operating capability

with the NATO Joint Defence Planning and Analysis Toolset (JDARTS) software in the nation’s chosen

location (e.g. national Ministry of Defence, Joint or Service HQs).

Such activities would usually be funded bi-laterally by a single nation. It is, however, possible that it

could be commissioned by a group of nations. If funded by a group of nations, these nations would

need to agree on a single location of the Introductory and Advanced Training Courses. In addition,

some of the costs would be duplicated across all the nations sponsoring the activities.

Release of Allied Command Transformation (ACT)-developed Defence Planning data will be subject

to explicit case-by-case authorisation from ACT. ACT retains the authority to provide release

NATO UNCLASSIFIED
