1.3.1 Modeling DoDAF Compliant Architectures The Telelogic Approach for Complying with the DoD Architectural Framework

No industry is more demanding than aerospace‐defense when it concerns the complete integration of software and hardware architectures. Tasked with defending our nascent Information Age economy, the aerospace‐defense industry must be capable of waging Information Age warfare, whose key concepts include information superiority and network‐centric warfare. By most quantitative metrics, aerospace‐defense systems are among the largest and most complex ever constructed. The complexity of individual aerospace‐defense systems (e.g., an aircraft) is frequently compounded when we integrate many of them together to form a system‐of‐systems (e.g., an air traffic control system) that satisfies more global requirements.
