Capability Portfolio Management

DFBA tracks the status of all Department of Defense Forensics and Biometrics capabilities in order to support future DoD investment decisions that will minimize risk and redundancy.

Core Objectives

  • Match Investments with Capability Gaps:

    Integrate, synchronize and coordinate DoD capabilities needs with current and planned investments within a capability portfolio to better inform decision making and optimize defense resources.

  • Reduce Costs:

    Reduce the cost of forensic-related military and business operations and enhance the use of current resources that maximize value and manage risk.

  • Minimize Risk:

    Optimize capability investments across the Forensics and Biometrics Enterprise (both materiel and non-materiel) and minimize risk in meeting DoD's capability needs in support of strategy.

Intent

As part of its DoD-wide mission to coordinate requirements and acquisition efforts for the Forensics and Biometrics Enterprise, DFBA manages the portfolio of capabilities currently in the field and under development. By tracking all such programs centrally, DFBA is able to spot redundancies, identify gaps, and demonstrate them to leadership.
