The paper presents a novel method to prioritize capabilities of Polish Armed Forces, used in one of the most important stages of planning process i.e. "Required Capabilities Assessment and Prioritization". The current approach to planning and programming of the capabilities development of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland is executed on the basis of the so-called operational capabilities. The operational capability is defined as "potential competence, feature of an entity resulting from its characteristics, allowing to undertake actions aimed at producing the desired effects". The elements of functional operational capabilities are as follows: doctrines, organization, training, military equipment, human resources, leadership, infrastructure and interoperability. The capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland de facto determine executability of the military tasks. In the paper capability dependency graph model was presented and centrality measures were described in details, which are the basis for prioritization method. To manage the capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, the software for prioritizing capabilities consisting of the Editor of the Capabilities Directory and Prioritization of Capabilities component, was developed and described in the paper.

The article outlines the concept of maintaining the required security level of the information system in the organization (SIO) through appropriate control of the security configurations of the security system. The security system (SS) model was proposed and its basic elements characterized to maintain the current security level of the information resources. The desired current security feature of the SIO shall be obtained by generating appropriate security technical and organizational configurations from the set of permissible solutions. The proposed concept, which takes into account the impact of not only basic security elements of the information resources (e.g. types of resources, security attributes, risks, vulnerability), but also changes in the working conditions of the information system and security system as well as the entire security and quality management environment of the organization, constitutes own proposal of the authors.

Capability-based planning as an approach to defense planning is an almost infinitely complex engineered system with countless nodes and layers of interdependency, influenced by state and non-state diplomatic activities, information, military and economic actions creating secondary and third order effects. The main output of capability-based planning is the set of capability requirements needed to achieve the expected end-state. One revitalized qualitative technique that allows us to gain insights into unstructured and fuzzy problems in the military is wargaming—in its simplest form this involves manual wargaming. At the same time, there has been a push to bring computer assistance to such wargaming, especially to support umpire adjudication and move more generally towards full automation of human elements in wargames. However, computer assistance in wargaming should not be pushed, regardless of cost, towards quantitative techniques. The objective complexity of a problem often does not allow us to replicate the operational environment with the required fidelity to get credible experimental results. This paper discusses a discovery experiment aiming to verify the concept of applying a qualitative expert system within computer assisted wargaming for developing capability requirements in order to reduce umpire bias and risk associated with their decisions. The innovation here lies in applying system dynamics modelling and simulation paradigms when designing the theoretical model of capability development, which forms the core of the expert system. This new approach enables qualitative comparisons between different sets of proposed capability requirements. Moreover, the expert system allows us to reveal the effects of budget cuts on proposed capability requirement solutions, which the umpire was previously unable to articulate when comparing individual solutions by relying solely on his own knowledge. Players in the wargame validated the proposed concept and suggested how the study might be developed going forward: namely, by enabling users to define their own capabilities and not being limited by a predefined set of capabilities.
