Creating NTV-3 Technical Configuration products
The NTV-3 Technical Configuration is a product used in the NATO Architecture Framework Technical View. A Technical Configuration is a detailed description of the standards relevant to the functional services defined in the Functional Configurations (see Systems Functionality Description NSV-4). The Technical Configurations provide a detailed description of the standards that map onto the functional services of the Functional Configurations.
The Interoperability Profiles between Technical Configurations provide the standard solutions of the Functional Interfaces between Functional Configurations.
1 In the NTV-3 Technical Configuration definition, enter the technical configuration details.
Open the NTV-3 Technical Configuration definition.
On the Introduction page, type a description for the technical configuration, define a related functional configuration, and select either an internal or external configuration.
To specify the components and standards associated with the technical configuration, click the Assembly Details tab.
2 In the NTV-3 Interoperability Profile definition, enter the profile details.
An interoperability profile relates two technical configurations.
Open the NTV-3 Interoperability Profile definition.
To relate two technical configurations, on the Introduction page, define a technical configuration in the From Technical Configuration and To Technical Configuration fields.
Click the Functional Relationships tab and enter an associated functional interface in the Related Functional Interface field.
3 To generate the NTV-3 Technical Configuration report, complete the following steps:
Click Reports > NAF Reports.
Click Technical Configuration Report (NTV-3).
Select the definition; then click Run.
The report is displayed in a Microsoft Word document.
