TOPFAS is an integrated set of collaborative planning and decision support tools to support Systems Analysis, Operations Planning, Execution, and Assessment of operational campaigns.  It enables NATO’s Comprehensive Approach as described in the Comprehensive Operations Planning Directive (COPD). Information objects created in any one of the tools are available in all others, providing seamless transition of products between various functions of the operations planning group.  The current modules of TOPFAS are described below.
TOPFAS - System Analysis Tool (SAT)
SAT supports the systems analysis of the engagement space for holistic Situational Awareness and Understanding (SA/SU). Systems analysts can describe the engagement space as a system with system design and influence relationship diagrams.  SA/SU can be gained by examining causal loops in relationships and system element ranking according to their centrality using network analysis techniques.
TOPFAS - Operations Planning Tool (OPT)
OPT is a campaign planning tool that helps answering what, where, when and who questions by providing causal, geo-spatial, temporal and resource views.  Multiple strategic options and operational and tactical courses of action can be developed and synchronized in space and time. Multi-actor perspectives can be represented in the same plan.
Campaign Assessment Tool (CAT)
CAT supports measuring progress towards the planned end-state through measures of effectiveness and measures of performance.  It allows assessment planning, metric data collection and reporting as well as statistical data analysis including causality and trend analyses. Findings are fed back for future planning.
TOPFAS - ORBAT Management Tool (OMT)
OMT helps building and viewing order of battle (ORBAT) information like the identification, on-hand strength of materiel and personnel, command structure and current disposition for Friendly, Neutral and Opposing forces in support of the operational planning process.  It also allows the management of national and NRF (NATO Response Force) ORBATs.
TOPFAS Web Portal (TWP)
The information content created by the specialist functional groups using TOPFAS can be shared with the wider community of interest using the web technology. A TOPFAS Portal dynamically publishes the information created by analysts, planners and assessors to those who need it. The TOPFAS Web Services provide the same information to other CIS tools. Domain ontology for planning objects, to facilitate information exchange with other systems via web services, is also provided.
TOPFAS - User Management Tool (UMT)
UMT allows administrators to manage users. Users can have one or more functional pre-defined roles like ‘Analyst’, ‘Planner’ or ‘Assessor’.  Roles can be assigned to individual users or user groups.  The creation of customized roles is also supported.  Furthermore UMT is used to manage which plans are replicated between databases at different TOPFAS sites.
