The C5 – Effects viewpoint of NAF v4enables you to model the state of the strategy of the architecture, in terms of the Projects that are on-going or planned to achieve Capabilities that bring about a Desired change in state of Resources.

In the example above, the Project “Find Victim in All Conditions (FVAC)” has Milestones “Phase 1”, “Phase 2”, and “Phase 3”. At each Milestone, a new Capability is enabled. Each Capability has a DesiredEffect on the new resource state of a Resource – for example, “UAV M3” achieves the DesiredEffect “Improve UAV So It Can Fly in Wind & Rain Conditions that Accompany Sea State 7-8”.
