Systems Architecture Development Across
the Acquisition Community
Integrated SoS Architecture Challenges
• Architecture capability is focused on program specific support
• Program specific efforts don’t link to a comprehensive SoS view
• Products need to support broader Army processes and decision forums
Systems Architecture / Analysis Vision
As the Army’s Systems Architect….
Establish the capability to develop & deliver
the architecture products that enable analysis
& trades and provide timely relevant
information for decisions

ASA(ALT) Ref/Integrated Architecture Goals
• Establish reference architectures for all Army formations, across time, that form
the basis for representing and communicating the Army’s programmed plan
• The data is organized in order to support views and analysis across
organizational and budgeting bins
• Enable trades and analyses that use these architecture data to support informed
systems acquisition decisions across the life cycle

Legend For the MS C decision, the MS C
AoA supports acquisition; the
Capabilities Production Document
(CPD) is a JCIDS product.
JCIDS and the acquisition process are linked, but
distinct. JCIDS identifies required capabilities
across DOTMLPF; the acquisition process
supports the milestone decision authorities in their
decisions on which materiel solutions to acquire.

Basic “Levels” of Architecture
• Architectures of value are “fit for purpose”, but in general support the description of Formations, Systems, and their interactions
• Architectures combined with operational scenarios and CoAs enable modeling and simulation, and analysis
• Recent additions to the DoDAF also enable descriptions of Capabilities, Services, and Programmatics, but our tools have yet to maturing
• Tools and processes enable a continuum of activities that support the life cycle
