The OV-1b provides a textual description that explains and details the scenario contained within the associated OV-1a, High-Level Operational Concept Graphic. The OV-1b should always be developed alongside the associated OV-1a.
An OV-1b product is used to explain and add further detail to the graphical presentation of the scenario shown in the associated OV-1a. It will be developed alongside the OV-1a, and used together they will provide a comprehensive summary of the scenario or use case described within the operational views of the architecture.
Usage
The intended usage of the OV-1b includes:
- Concept of operations.
- Input to User Requirements Document (URD).
Product Description
The Operational Concept Description (OV-1b) View provides a supplementary textual description that explains and details the scenario contained within the associated High-Level Operational Concept Graphic (OV-1a) View.
The nature and type of description in an OV-1b product will be very dependant upon the level of detail and maturity in the operational scenario or architecture being described.
It is imperative that the information in the view is consistent with the other OVs, and when the OV-1b is updated or modified these changes are cascaded throughout the architecture.
Creating an Operational Concept Description
To create an Operational Concept Description:
- Click on Operational Concept Description in the Action Artifact area, and then select Create New Operational Concept Description.
- Type a name and press Enter.
- A blank description is created and you can start entering the operational concept description.
| ISTAR information is currently provided by the SPECS system, the LOOKER UAV system and the NEMESIS system. SPECS is an operational level asset and communicates via a data link to its dedicated base station. LOOKER is a tactical UAV system that can transmit real-time video footage directly to either Fighting Patrols or the Brigade HQ. NEMESIS is a strategic asset that has considerable on-board processing capability, enabling the data to be exploited during flight. The resultant information can be communicated either by satellite communications or directly to a receiver based on board a naval vessel. |
