The SV-5 is a type of visual representation used in systems engineering, specifically within the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF). It provides a graphical depiction of the operational activities and the relationships between them, helping stakeholders understand how different components interact within a system. This diagram is part of a broader set of views that support the development and analysis of complex systems. By illustrating the flow of information and the roles of various entities, the SV-5 aids in identifying potential improvements and ensuring that all parts of the system work together effectively.
