The Capability View provides support for analysis and optimization of delivery of military capability according to strategic intent and equipment planning. In other words this means management of capabilities.
The structure of capabilities and sub-capabilities, or capability functions, is one major concern in the Capability View.
NAF adds the Capability Viewpoint (NCV) to the core DoDAF Viewpoints (NAV, NOV, NSV, NTV). In MODAF, this viewpoint is called the Strategic Viewpoint (StV).
