CFPI Release and Engagement Versatility Rubric
| Value | Release Versatility | Engagement Versatility |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Index system releases systems of release versatility 2 that in turn release the index munition, giving the index system multiple levels of release articulation and adaptiveness to target behaviour | Index system is ordinarily intended to engage systems in multiple domains and is ordinarily configured to engage those systems purpose-built to target the index system |
| 2 | Index system can manoeuvre leading up to and during index munition release allowing a larger window of adaptation to target behaviour | Index system is ordinarily intended to engage systems in multiple domains or is ordinarily configured to engage those systems purpose-built to target the index system |
| 1 | Index system must be motionless to release the index munition; the index system cannot make dynamic adaptations to target behaviour immediately leading up to or upon release of the index munition | Index system is ordinarily intended to engage systems in only one domain and is not ordinarily configured to engage those systems purpose-built to target the index system |
