Together, these systems will ultimately replace the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) and manage the adjudication process for security clearances, suitability determinations, and credentialing determinations for all DoD employees, military personnel, civilians and contractors.

• In broad terms:• JPAS = JCAVS + JAMS• DISS = JVS + CATS
