  1. Synthesizing DoDAF Architectures to Develop the Joint Capability Enterprise Architecture James R. Enos US Military Academy

  2. Background • JCIDS utilizes DoD Architecture Frameworks to capture data • DoD has yet to take advantage of the data to the fullest extent to develop an enterprise level architecture • In an era of declining resources, DoD leadership requires information such as this to make data-driven decisions • Advances in software and computing power make this possible

  3. Joint Capability Integration and Development System • JCIDS process identifies, assesses, validates, and prioritizes warfighting capabilities • Process generates terabytes of data in various forms • Required DoDAF products produce semi-structured data for analysis Source: Joint Chiefs of Staff, Manual for the Operation of the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System, Washington DC: Department of Defense, 2012.

  4. DoD Architecture Framework • Multiple viewpoints to understand complex DoD systems • Area of Focus: • Capability • Operational • Systems Source: DoD Chief Information Officer, "DoD Architecture Framework Version 2.02," August 2010. [Online]. Available: http://www.dodcio.defense.gov/dodaf20.aspx. [Accessed March 2014].

  5. Methodology • Enterprise Architecture • Applies holistic thinking to enterprises with multiple interdependencies • Enables decision makers to optimize at the enterprise level versus system level • Dependencies • System to System • Capability • Mission

  6. System to System Dependencies Enterprise of Interest • Identifies direct dependencies between systems • 2nd and 3rd order connections begin to emerge SV-3 System 1 SV-3 System 1 SV-3 System 1 SV-3 System 1 SV-6 System 1 SV-6 System 2 SV-6 System 3 SV-6 System 4 SV-3 Enterprise

  7. Capability Dependencies Enterprise of Interest • Identifies systems within the enterprise that provide the same capability • Redundancies and gaps begin to emerge ICD/CDD ICD /CDD ICD/CDD ICD/CDD CV-4 System 1 CV-4 System 2 CV-4 System 3 CV-4 System 4 CV-2 Enterprise

  8. Mission Dependencies • Identifies systems within the enterprise that perform the same warfighting task • Series of tasks can be combined into missions Enterprise of Interest OV-5a System 1 OV-5a System 1 OV-5a System 1 OV-5a System 1 OV-5b System 1 OV-5b System 2 OV-5b System 3 OV-5b System 4 OV-5b Enterprise Mission / CONOP OV-5a Enterprise

  9. Conclusion • Manual synthesis of data has provided benefits to decision makers • However, process is time consuming and requires specialized skill sets • Opportunity exits to apply this methodology with automated text-analytics software to capture large amounts of data

  10. Future Work • Expand to capture system to organization dependencies • Expands past Material systems to other DOTmLPF solutions • Organizations provide a great deal of capability to the DoD • Application of Social Network Analysis Tools • Enterprise goes beyond traditional System-of-Systems Tools • SNA provides an opportunity to analyze the entire enterprise
