MITRE is developing a methodology for analyzing the performance and cost of future national command-control and information systems, emphasizing so-called sensor to shooter systems. The methodology is named CAPE, which stands for C4ISR analytic performance evaluation. The CAPE methodology supports MITRE in its role as a systems engineer for national C4ISR systems. CAPE involves the extensive use of mathematical models and computers to estimate system performance and cost. Though many MITRE project briefings and reports describe the results of CAPE modeling, heretofore MITRE has not provided general documentation of how its staff constructs and uses mathematical models in applying the CAPE methodology.
