NATO System View Subviews
 
Code
Subview Name
Comment
NSV-1
Systems Interface Description
Identification of systems and system connections and the information exchanges between them
NSV-2a
System Port Specification
Identifies the ports on each system and the protocols supported by each port
NSV-2b
System to System Port Connectivity
Identifies the connections between ports and shows the protocols and hardware specified for each connection.
The ports may be on different systems.
NSV-2c
System Connectivity Clusters
Shows how individual connections between system ports are grouped into logical connections between nodes
NSV-2d
Systems Communication Quality Requirements
Specifies quality requirements applicable to communications between systems
NSV-3
Resources-Resources Matrix
Describes relationships between systems in a given architecture; can be designed to show relationships of interest, for example, system-type interfaces, planned vs existing interfaces, etc.
NSV-4
System Functionality Description
Functions performed by systems and the system data flows among system functions
NSV-5
Systems Function to Operational Activity Traceability Matrix
Mapping of systems back to capabilities or operational activities
NSV-6
Systems Data Exchange Matrix
Provides details of system data elements being exchanged between systems and the attributes of this exchange
NSV-7
Systems Quality Requirement Description
Specifies the quality characteristics of systems, system hardware/software items, their interfaces and their functions as well as the current quality requirements and the expected or required quality requirements at specified times in the future.
NSV-8
Systems Configuration Management
Planned incremental step toward migrating a suite of systems to a more efficient suite, or toward evolving a current system to a future development of the architecture
NSV-9
Technology and Skills Forecast
Emerging technologies and software/hardware products that are expected to be available in a given set of time frames and that will affect future development of the architecture
NSV-10a
Resources Constraints Specification
One of three subviews used to describe system functionality - identifies constraints that are imposed on the architecture or its systems under specified conditions.
NSV-10b
Resources State Transition Description
One of three subviews used to describe system functionality - identifies responses of a system to states, events and actions
NSV-10c
Resources Event-Trace Description
One of three subviews used to describe system functionality - identifies system-specific refinements of critical sequences of events described in the NATO Operational View
NSV-11a
Logical Data Model
Allows analysis of a system‘s data definition aspect, without consideration of implementation specific or product specific issues and provides a common dictionary of data definitions to consistently express subviews wherever logical-level data elements are included in the descriptions..
NSV-11b
Physical Data Model
Physical implementation of the Logical Data Model entities, for example, message formats, file structures, physical Schema
NSV-12
Service Provision
Mapping of systems to services to identify which system contribute to the provision of which service.
