Initial Capabilities Document (ICD)

______________ is the ouput from FDP Phase 1. It describes one or more capability gaps, identifies potential non-materiel approaches and recommends pursuing a materiel approach to address those gaps integrating DOTMLPF-P while focused on a materiel-centric solution. Eventually morphs into the Capability Development Document (CDD) then Capability Production Document (CPD).
