Building NCV-3 Capability Phasing reports for NAF 3
You can build required information into your architecture and then generate the NCV-3 Capability Phasing report to represent the planned or current availability of military capability at different points in time or during specific periods of time. The report analyzes Project data (from the NPV-2 view) to determine when Resources providing elements of military capability are to be delivered, upgraded, and withdrawn.
The Resources identified are structured according to the required capabilities determined in the Capability Taxonomy (NPV-2) View and the timescales or periods of time appropriate.
An NCV-3 report can be used to assist in the identification of capability gaps and shortfalls, such as no fielded capability to fulfill a particular capability function, or capability duplication and overlap, such as multiple fielded capabilities for a single capability function. Where a capability cannot be equated on a one-to-one mapping with a particular Resource, further analysis can be assisted using the information provided in a Capability to Resource Deployment Mapping (NSOV-3) Matrices.
To build information into your architecture and generate the NCV-3 report
1 Create Capability definitions.
2 Use the NCV-5 Capability to Resource matrix to relate Capabilities to Resources.
3 To relate one or more Resources to one or more Acquisition Projects on the NPV-1 diagram, draw an Implements line from each Acquisition Project to each respective Resource; then save the diagram.
Once the diagram is saved, the Resources property in each Acquisition Project is automatically filled in with the appropriate Resources.
4 To specify Milestone dates of the Acquisition Project in its definition, perform one of the following steps:
▪Open the Acquisition Project definition; then specify the Milestone date.
▪Draw Milestones on the NPV-2 diagram.
Note You can also specify the Following Color property for each Milestone date in each Milestone’s definition, which is accessed via the Acquisition Project definition.
5 To generate the report, click Reports > NAF Reports > NCV-3 Capability Phasing.
6 In the dialog box that opens, specify Start Date, End Date, Timescale Units, and Interval; then click OK.
Result
The Capability Phasing Report opens in a Microsoft Excel Spread sheet. The report contains the name of each Resource related to a Capability in the appropriate cells of the spreadsheet, per each Milestone Date of its related Acquisition Project. Each cell is colored with the Following Color property of each milestone.
