Members of the MITs manage the DAF C3BM MIT Process for their respective MIT. The DAF C3BM MIT Process receives operational and functional requirements from the Operational Community and conducts a(an):

1. Operational Analysis to translate operational and functional requirements into technical requirements.
2. Architecture Definition to design the capability's architecture while ensuring integration/interoperability with the broader DAF C3BM enterprise architecture.
3. Risk assessment of the capability, and if risk needs to be mitigated, the MIT works with the Science & Technology Community to address.
4. Execution management strategy providing the capability's requirements to the Acquisition Community.
5. Test and Evaluation Strategy with the Acquisition Community to work with the Test and Evaluation Community for exercise and experimentation activities before delivery to the Operational Community.
