The NCV-3 - Capability Phasing subview indicates the planned or available capabilities at different points in time or during specific time periods (states). This is capability phasing. The different capability time periods (states) are indicated and are associated with milestones. This subview is created through an analysis of programmatic and deployment data in order to determine when system elements from NATO capabilities are to be deployed, upgraded and/or retired. This data may be provided in part by the NPV-2 - Programme to Capability Mapping subview. The systems identified are structured according to the required capabilities determined in the NCV-2 - Capability Taxonomy subview and the associated timeframes. The EA Projects that can deliver the capabilities within the slated Time Periods and states are also indicated.

The availability of capabilities at specific times and the deliverables expected can be demonstrated in Master Plans, which in the context of information system planning, can be used to define the evolutions of the system that best respond to business function demands. The Resource Architectures/systems put in place to support the capabilities are also demonstrated in Master Plans.

Master Plans are expected to not only show planned elements at different successive levels and states, but also to provide information on functional suitability of evolutions related to business function expectations, and the impact of the of this Master Plan implementation.

The Master Plans used for the NCV-3 - Capability Phasing Report are found in the NSV-8 - Systems Configuration Management subview.
