Concepts Layer

The Concepts layer supports the process of analysing and optimizing the delivery of capabilities in line with the enterprise-s strategic intent. It achieves this by capturing the enterprise-s strategic vision and concepts and capabilities. These capabilities can be organised into a taxonomy and then augmented with schedule data and measures of effectiveness to enable the analysis of capability gaps and overlaps. The Concepts layer further details the dependencies between capabilities, enabling capability options to be built in a more coherent manner and effective trade-offs to be conducted (e.g. across NATO common funded programmes).
