NSV-3 provides details about the interface characteristics described in NSV-1 for the architecture, arranged in matrix form.

NSV-3 gives a quick overview of all the interface characteristics presented in multiple NSV-1 diagrams. The matrix form facilitates making rapid assessments of the potential commonalities and redundancies (or, if fault-tolerance is desired, the lack of redundancies).

NSV-3 is a useful tool for managing the evolution of systems and system infrastructures, the insertion of new technologies/functionalities, and the redistribution of systems and processes with evolving operational requirements.

Users can easily access NSV-3 reports in the NAF navigation tree and on the NAF start page. No other objects are displayed since the aim is to synthesize information already designed in the NSV-1 section.
