Developing the MOD Architectural Framework

Why Enterprise Architecture?““The committee believes that the absence of an enterprise The committee believes that the absence of an enterprise architecture has been a major contributor to the problems architecture has been a major contributor to the problems faced by the implementers of the [FBI's] Trilogy program. That faced by the implementers of the [FBI's] Trilogy program. That is, the lack of an architecture to guide the planning of an is, the lack of an architecture to guide the planning of an information and communication infrastructure has resulted in information and communication infrastructure has resulted in improvisation that has virtually no chance of resulting in a well-improvisation that has virtually no chance of resulting in a well-ordered infrastructure for the enterprise to build upon. In fact, ordered infrastructure for the enterprise to build upon. In fact, merely providing parts (e.g., computers and accessories, piece-merely providing parts (e.g., computers and accessories, piece-part applications, and so on) is like buying brick, mortar, and part applications, and so on) is like buying brick, mortar, and lumber and expecting a builder to produce a functional lumber and expecting a builder to produce a functional building without benefit of building codes, blueprints, or an building without benefit of building codes, blueprints, or an understanding of how people will use the building.”understanding of how people will use the building.”

Developing the MOD Architectural Framework

• “NEC is the linking of sensors, decision makers and weapon systems so that information can be translated into synchronised and overwhelming military effect at optimum tempo.”General Fulton, CM(IS), July 2002

• NEC is about joining up the business and battlespace

• Enables us to federate systems, sensors, effectors and hence improve military effectiveness

What is wrong with current situation?What is wrong with current situation?• Life has become too complicated for ad-

hoc acquisition.– Projects and programmes now link and overlap.– Multiple operational, technical and service boundaries

emerging, which must be managed coherently.– Overlapping functionality in subsystems, eg BISA’s.

• The GII – not to mention NEC – requires key end-to-end properties to be assured whilst delivering “more for less”– Security, safety, performance, scalability, ease of

upgrade.

• Without change, we run the risk:– at best of inefficiency - project activities wrongly

phased, reproduced or repeated.– at worst of major performance gaps overlooked, or

emerging late in acquisition, requiring expensive remedial action.

… and we could improve acquisition… and we could improve acquisition

House of Commons Defence CommitteeDefence Procurement, Sixth report of session 2003-04

“The performance of the Defence Procurement Agency in 2002–03 can only be described as woeful.”

“The substantial in-year cost increases of some £3.1billion will have a major impact on the current equipment plan and must inevitably lead to cancellations or cuts in equipment projects, or delays in ordering equipment.”

“…a key underlying cause of poor performance, in terms of delivering projects to time and cost, has been MoD’s failure to invest enough money and time to sufficiently de-risk projects in the Assessment Phase.”

Architectures and Architectural Frameworks

Architectures and Architectural Frameworks

Architectures:• “A formal description of a

system … at component level to guide its implementation”

• “The structure of components and their interrelationships”

• A set of views that describe system(s) of interest at a certain point in time

Architectural Frameworks:

• “A tool which can be used for developing a broad range of different architectures.”

• “Provides a common vocabulary”

• Provides a basis for comparing and analysing architectures

Page 9: Institute Of Electrical Engineers

Developing the MOD Architectural Framework

Why are we using MODAF?Why are we using MODAF?• By providing a common “language” to describe

MoD business it:– Gives a means of managing across all lines of

development / through life– Allows the identification of overlap, duplication, gaps– Enables unambiguous requirements that enhance

interoperability– Provides commonality and rigour to MoD processes– Provides improved contextual information on the systems

to the approving authorities

• All of which allow more efficient use of the budget and delivery of enhanced capability

Developing the MOD Architectural Framework

MODAF ViewsMODAF Views• MODAF is based upon DoDAF but with

tailoring to MoD lifecycle / processes and as a result of US and UK lessons learned

• Most DoDAF views will be incorporated largely as-is with tailoring to MoD terminology, ERM, etc

• Some DoDAF views may be modified to incorporate lessons learned

• Two new viewpoints included:– Strategic Views – mainly support capability

management– Acquisition Views – support the acquisition

MODAF DevelopmentMODAF Development• Will utilise existing DoDAF products

where possible• Similar documentation approach to

DoDAF –executive summary, handbook, desk book

• Will develop progressively with multi-stage stakeholder reviews to minimise surprises and volume of new material at each stage

• Using white papers as discussion documents prior to integrating the full MODAF product set

Page 20: Institute Of Electrical Engineers

Developing the MOD Architectural Framework

• Central equipment customer is overall project manager

• Core funding for framework, enablers and aspects of governance

• Training & population activity costs outside scope

• Federated approach to change• Approved target is validated MODAF

Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise Architecture is a architectural, model-based

approach to understanding, analysing and resolving

enterprise issues

Architectural, model-based approachArchitectural, model-based approach

MODAF Meta Model

• Consistent models• Rich diagrams and views• Integrated Repository

EA queries & views

understanding, analysing and resolvingunderstanding, analysing and resolving

Good, focused modelling

Better descriptions

Page 24: Institute Of Electrical Engineers

Developing the MOD Architectural Framework

• Underlying architecture and consistency are key factors

• 20 of 33 views will have UML representation

• Significant UML ‘back catalogue’ & user community

• Choice of XMI for tool interchange• Majority of tool support will be UML

based• International & industrial dimensions

MODAF & UML/SysMLMODAF & UML/SysML

Developing the MOD Architectural Framework

MODAF Meta Model• SysML

– Modelling language for systems engineering– Key Concepts:

• Activity: concept for modelling behaviour• Assembly: concept for modelling structures which have

behaviour

• MODAF Meta Model– Consistently models a complex system of systems– Extends SysML with concepts applicable to

modelling an enterprise– Focused modelling of operational, system,

implementation and programme viewpoints
