Military capability Military capability is defined by the Australian Defence Force as " the ability to achieve a desired effect in a specific operating environment " . It is defined by three interdependent factors : combat readiness , sustainable capability and force structure . In terms of technologies , weapons and equipment use , it represents assets , that exist to perform specific functions in relation to requirements of the statement about present or future military operations as derived from the national defence policy ( strategic ) . A national Capabilities Development Plan seeks to provide a global understanding of capability needs , capability trends and potential capability shortfalls . Military capability is often referred to in terms of low , medium and high , although this usually refers to the type , quantity and sophistication of technology being used in combat operations , and the severity of threat to security of the state . Maintaining military capability requires modernisation of military technology , particularly prevalent in Europe since the Middle Ages due to the arms race that commenced with the introduction of artillery and later firearms into warfare . In the European Union , capability development is approached by the Capability Directorate focusing on three primary areas : Existing military capability in armed forces will be employed , and only minor enhancements are possible in a short conflict . The context within which the military capabilities are used such as the geography of the area of operations , the culture and demography of the enemy , and the preparedness of the opposing forces , generally can not be altered at the start of the conflict . It is a major part of military science to find methods of defeating the enemy with available capabilities using existing and new concepts . Successful use of military capability by employing these concepts and methods is reflected in the effects on the enemy ability to continue to resist , subject to Rules of Engagement ( ROE ) range of political , legal and ethical factors . Military capability is often tested in peacetime by using the scenario methodology to analyse performance , often as a war game . It is The military ' s strategic role is to advise civilian leadership on the capability of military forces to execute specific missions . Future military capability is developed based on the analysis of experimentation and testing of existing capability performance , and future capability decisions are made based on the armed forces being able to meet the challenges of a range of possible future scenarios . This is arguably a difficult task to accomplish due to the lack of predictability about future threats , changes in defence policy , and the range of response options and their effects that a government may want as a matter of future national defence policy . The difference between expected and deliverable military capabilities is called the military capability gap , although the same term is also sometimes used to compare capabilities of potential future belligerents .

Alfa ( rocket ) Alfa was the designation of an Italian solid propellant IRBM program that started in 1971 under the control of the GRS ( Gruppo di Realizzazione Speciale Interforze ) . Starting as a development effort for a study on efficient solid - propellant rockets , the Alfa rocket was planned as two - stage rocket . Test launches with upper stage mockup from Salto di Quirra took place between 1973 and 1975 . The Alfa was long and had a diameter of . The first stage of the Alfa was long and contained 6 t of solid rocket fuel . It supplied a thrust of 232 kN for a duration of 57 seconds . It was capable of carrying a warhead of 1 Mt and had a range of , which meant that it could reach all eastern countries and the western USSR if launched from frigates or destroyers in the Adriatic Sea . Around 40 missiles were produced before 1976 . Italy has been active in the space sector since 1957 , conducting launch and control operations from the Luigi Broglio Space Centre . The advanced Scout and Vega launcher s currently used by the European Space Agency ( ESA ) derive their technological basis partially from Alfa studies . An Alfa rocket is currently displayed at the Cameri Museum in Novara department .
