Overview The Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework ( MODAF) is an internationally recognised enterprise architecture framework developed by the Ministry of Defence ( MOD) to support defence planning and change management activities. It does this by enabling the capture and presentation of information in a rigorous, coherent and comprehensive way that aids the understanding of complex issues. Who should use this guidance This guidance is intended for anyone with an interest in MODAF.

MODAF supports the modelling of options There are a number of commercially available tools that support the use of MODAF. As well as allowing the presentation of the views, these tools also provide a repository in which the architecture can be stored and enable the modelling of different change options to support decision making. MODAF supports interoperability The use of MODAF as the standard architecture framework enables the coherent sharing of architectural information which helps identify gaps and overlaps between operating processes and the systems that support them. MODAF has pedigree MODAF was developed by MOD from the US Department of Defense Architecture Framework ( DoDAF) version 1.0, but has been extended and modified to meet MOD requirements. MODAF is now itself internationally recognised as a best practice for enterprise architecting, and provided the template against which NATO Architecture Framework version 3.0 was developed. MODAF has been adopted by organisations outside MOD As well as MOD, MODAF is widely used by its industry partners, such as BAE Systems, Thales, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Serco.

It is also used by other government departments, such as GCHQ, and external bodies, such as the National Air Traffic Services. MODAF was recently adopted for use by the Swedish armed forces. Viewpoints and Views This section provides an overview of the different viewpoints used in the MODAF.

MODAF architectures are developed as coherent, contiguous models that when viewed as a whole present a complete picture of the enterprise. MODAF defines a rich selection of relationships which can be used to integrate the various architectural elements. Producing an enterprise architecture is rarely the work of one person and it is sometimes useful to be able to logically divide an architecture into domains, each concerned with one aspect of how the enterprise works. This also proves useful when publishing an architecture to different stakeholders. For this reason, MODAF defines a set of standard viewpoints.
