NCV-1 Capability Vision
The purpose of an NCV-1 is to provide a strategic context for the capabilities described in the architecture. It also provides a high-level scope for the architecture which is more general than the scenario-based scope defined in NOV-1.
An NCV-1 Capability Vision subview begins with a description of the high-level concept. This concept will then be further augmented by describing the high-level operational goals and strategy in military capability terms.
As a general rule, the NCV-1 subview is not intended to specify:• system requirements or user requirements. Instead, its role is to set the scope for the architecture in terms of future or current military capability vision.
• the success criteria for an architecture. NCV-2 provides metrics against each capability which may be used to successfully measure fielded capabilities.
The main items dealt with in this subview are:
• the enterprise vision through master plans
• goals through objectives
These are located in the corresponding sub-folders of the NCV-1.Enterprise Vision
The enterprise vision describes the overall aims of an enterprise over a given period of time.
This is supported by a master plan in which the evolutions that help to achieve the overall objectives of the enterprise are described.
A master plan is a long term outline of a project. It groups a set of consistent milestones and planned items temporally constrained against these milestones.The selected master plan is used to describe capability availability and show the associations between enterprise phases and capabilities.
Goals
Goals can be described through the objective notion. The objective items are attached to the enterprise vision (strategic master plan) as achieved objectives.
An objective is a goal that a company/organization wants to achieve, or the target set for a business process or an operation. An objective allows you to highlight the features in a business process or operation that require improvement.
