The SV-5b Capability\Operational Activity to System Entity\System Function matrix plots the Capability definition to the System Entity definition, through the specific System Functions that map to Operational Activities.

In this matrix, you can also specify the status of a System-Function-to-Operational-Activity pairing to produce a Capability by a System (Entity), in the definition of the intersecting cell. The status that you can select is as described below:

For example, the same System Function can be used to invoke two different Operational Activities, but the status of its functionality to provide those two activities might be different in either case. In the example below, the Capability Decision Support is provided by the System Function Display + Approve Order, by the System Field Order Management. However, the status of the Capability being provided by Operational Activity Detect Environment is “Partial Functionality Provided or Full Functionality Provided But System Has Not Been Fielded” (yellow circle) while the status of the Capability being provided by Operational Activity Deconflict Airspace is “Functionality Planned But Not Developed” (red circle).
