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.
