Operational Views (OV) [Logical Views]
Introduction to OV-1a, OV-1b and OV-1c v1.2
OV-1 addresses the high level operational concepts related to one or more missions. An OV-1 describes a mission, class of mission, or scenario; and highlights the main operational elements and interesting or unique aspects of operations.
The OV-1 has two purposes. First, it provides a means of organising the operational architecture models into distinct groups based on scenario context. Second, it communicates the essence of the scenario context in an essentially graphical form.
There are three parts to the OV-1.
- OV-1a is the graphic itself.
- OV-1b is a text description providing more detail.
- OV-1c is a tabular representation of key parametric data associated with the scenario (often showing evolution of capability over time). These should reflect the capability requirements.
