Development and Analysis of Integrated C4ISR Architectures

Abstract

The U.S. Army continues to struggle with creating doctrinally correct, robust, consistent, and all-inclusive operational, system, and technical views based on the Department of Defense Architecture Framework. Having detailed, integrated, and up-to-date architecture views is essential to answering questions involving alternative system designs and operating procedures, conducting gap, overlap, and connectivity analyses among programs of record, and providing traceable data upon which to base near- and far-term acquisition decisions as the armed services undergo Transformation. This paper presents an overview of the Communications- Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) methodology for developing and utilizing integrated architecture products for the purposes of C4ISR System-of-Systems engineering analyses.
