Abstract

The US DoD architecture framework defines architecture products according to three viewpoints : operational view, system view, and technical view. But, its coarse-grained development process causes leakage of the details in transforming among different views. It also uses different methods for architecture products development, so that the levels of those products are not consistent. So, we propose MND AF(Ministry of National Defense Architecture Framework) for military environment to solve those problems. We propose additional architecture products to achieve consistency, including ´architecture disciplines definition description,´ ´organization-to-activity relationships matrix,´ ´system definition description,´ and ´technical reference model,´ etc. We also propose the architecture development process in more detail through seven steps. In addition, we propose the applicability of those products to the life cycle processes of the acquisition management. MND AF can provide consistency and traceability of architecture products, provide the basis for system integration and interoperability. Also, architecture developers can construct architecture in a more effective and efficient way through MND AF.
