Overview

The NCV-2 Capability Taxonomy subview is part of the NATO Capability View and one of the 49 NATO Architecture Framework subviews*.

Version & Date

Version 3.1

* =  changed at 3.1

+ =  new at 3.1

The change history is derived from the definition of each NATO Architecture view within section 5.2.3 NATO Capability View (NCV) in AC/322(SC/1-WG/1)N(2009)0005-ADD2.  NATO Architecture Framework Version 3.1 document from https://www.nhqc3s.nato.int/Browser.asp?Target=_docs/NAF_v3_1 .

See NAF Release History.

Purpose

From the NATO Architecture Framework v3, CHAPTER 4, Section 4.4.2

The Capability Taxonomy (NCV-2) subview provides a structured list of capabilities and sub-capabilities that are required within a capability area during a certain timeframe

Covered by NATO release conditions.

Definition

The NCV-2 subview is used to capture and organise the NATO capabilities required for the vision established in the Capability Vision subview (NCV-1) into a structured list.

The structured list provided by the NCV-2 subview will be a comprehensive list of the capabilities that need to be delivered during a particular timeframe. The list is structured hierarchically, and each capability is, where necessary, subdivided into sub capabilities and/or functions, in order to provide clarity and the appropriate level of granularity required by subsequent processes in the capability management process. All terms used in the NCV-2 will be expressed only in non-implementation specific based terms - i.e. these terms are military capability based, not equipment focused. An NCV-2 product will be developed for each specified timeframe.

Covered by NATO release conditions.

Data Objects*

Comments

Function is always associated with a means whether technology or similar - it is part of the solution and hence function shouldn’t be mixed with capability which is implementation free.
