| Summary: | 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.
