DAPSE provides a number of critical functions. First, it facilitates planning and analysis for teams that are geographically distributed or composed of multiple organizations, helping them work together seamlessly. Second, it enhances the informational and analytic foundation of integrated plans and campaigns, ensuring that strategies are built on a solid base of data. Finally, it guides non-technical users through a systematic and auditable process of analysis and planning, making it possible to navigate complex, multi-actor environments with confidence. In essence, DAPSE empowers military teams to make more informed and coordinated decisions in complex operational settings.
