OV-1 high level overview (ABM for DoDAF)
You use the High Level OV-1 Diagram to describe the locations, targets, assets and organizations that are to be involved in a particular mission. Its main utility is as a facilitator of human communication, and it is intended for presentation to high-level decision makers.
You can draw OV-1 diagrams with the available symbols set, or you can import external graphics into the repository to display on the diagram. The samples encyclopedia provides examples of both approaches.
This graphic is described in the surrounding text.
