Abstract. The Strategy to Task Technique (STT) is an approach used
to develop low-level, often system-specific, requirements for a system or
capability through a process of decomposition. The paper describes the
use of STT as an enabling analytical tool to support
technology investment decisions. The Strategy to Task technique was used
to establish relative priorities for a number of defense system
categories. These priorities were then used in a subsequent analysis
to evaluate the relative contribution of a number of technology
programs to these defense system categories; the aim was to
establish investment priorities for these technology programs. Two Strategy to
Task analyzes were completed; one analysis used UK military doctrine
material and sources, the other analysis used a UK military
task list hierarchy. These analyzes produced two independent sets of
relative priorities associated with the defense system categories. There was
reasonable consistency between these two sets of priorities. Further sensitivity
analysis was completed to establish a greater degree of confidence
in the outputs. The paper also assesses the method of
implementation used and discusses the robustness of the Strategy to
Task approach in this application.
