UK ISTAR Architectures and Capability Management

Abstract

The paper describes the development of a UK ISTAR architecture, compliant with the US Department of Defense Architecture Framework (and the UK MOD AF), and its application to ISTAR capability management. The need for an architecture to underpin descriptions of capability is established, followed by a description of the process and tool used to generate the architecture. The formal relationship between capability and equipments is discussed, and practical means to represent and manage this relationship are developed. The paper concludes with a description of the application of this methodology to the development of a UK ISTAR capability.
