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 visions. The NCV-1 subview is high-level in nature and does not specify 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 Buts/Objectifs and the enterprise vision.

The enterprise vision describes the overall aims of an enterprise over a given period of time. This can be supported by a Plan d'évolution in which the evolutions that help to achieve the overall Objectifs of the enterprise are described. The selected Plan d'évolution is then used to describe Capacité Métier availability and shows the associations between enterprise phases and capabilities.

Buts can be described through the MEGA Objectif notion. The Objectif items are then attached to the enterprise vision (strategic master plan) as achieved objectives.

The Strategic Master Plans are located in the Enterprise Vision folder of the NCV-1 - Capability Vision subview and the Objectifs are located in the Enterprise Goals folder.

For each notion introduced in the NCV-1 subview (Objectif, strategic master plan), there is a dictionary and a hierarchical Chapitre de rapport. Each Chapitre de rapport gives details through the potential describing diagrams.
