Comprehensive capability meta model tested by a cognitive radio

Cognitive Radio has been widely researched, often to address perceived spectrum scarcity. However, the potential contribution the Cognitive Radio could offer to military capabilities has not been fully addressed. The concept of capability is used differently by different interest groups. We identify relationships between viewpoints and perspectives of various capability models. In this paper we test capability framework as an example of effort the R&D community needs to perform to bridge the gap between R&D and military capability planning communities. We recognize that some capability viewpoints can be populated by the bottom-up, technology push, approach, where as some viewpoints would benefit from the input by the military operational and planning communities. Our findings point to the need of the whole development process to be iterative.
