Intermediate Outcome 4: New Zealand is able to meet future national security challenges
The New Zealand Defence Force Intermediate Outcome four is "New Zealand is able to meet future national security challenges". This outcome has seven parts, "develop high quality policy advice"; "assessment of risk"; "interagency collaboration"; "robust analysis of current state"; "robust gap analysis of capabilities"; "generate and assess future options"; "acquire capability". The Ministry contributes mostly through its policy and planning and acquisition outputs. Monitoring of changes in the strategic environment and analysis of military capabilities required to meet defence policy goals results in the acquisition of major items of military equipment.
