An architecture is “the structure of components, their relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing their design and evolution over time.”

- C4ISR Architecture Framework, Version 2.0,derived from IEEE

An “official” definition:

What is an Architecture?


What Is a Reference Architecture?A Reference Architecture (RA) Is the Normalized Architecture of Several End Systems That Share One or More Common Domains, Containing a Set of Architectural Best Practices for Use by Architecture Teams in Your Organization. RAs Provide an Advanced Point of Departure for Implementing Solutions So That Each Implementation Reduces:

Cost by Taking Advantage of Opportunities for Reuse of Services, Products, Data Definitions, Etc.

Schedule byStarting With a Common Set of Artifacts to Be Tailored for Implementation

Risk byProviding Consistent Decomposition and Design Patterns Utilizing Related Expertise and Reuse of Proven ArtifactsExploiting Lessons Learned

Why Reference Architectures?Reduces cost, schedule, and risk through an established set of core modules that may be tailored to meet Government’s mission needsDemonstrating current performance through proven and mature solutionsProvides a common set of demonstrated capabilities, industry is able to engage the customer intelligently and quickly provide a solution to customer needsPresent an approach that is communicated with a common language

Acquisition ProcessesJoint Capabilities Integrated Development System (JCIDS)– Top-down process– Methodology to identify capabilities gaps– Mandate broader review of proposals– Engage the acquisition community early– Define non-materiel and materiel solutions – Prioritize capability gaps and proposals– Coordination with departments and agenciesJoint Rapid Acquisition Cell (JRAC)– Quickly address in order to prevent combat related loss of life and/or

mission failure– Based on unforeseen military requirements that must be resolved in days,

weeks or months– Provides policies and procedures for initiation, review, evaluation, approval

and follow-up of combatant commander urgent operational needs request

Generate and Integrated Target Architecture Based on Mission Scenario

Assess current and programmed joint capabilities to accomplish the tasks

Generate an as-is architecture from available and planned capabilities.

Using the as-is architecture and the target architecture analyze the mission scenario when looking for discrepancies.

From analysis generate a prioritized list of capability gaps described in terms of• Functional Area

• Relevant range of operations• Timeframe under consideration

There will be a Functional Solution Analysis on each capability chosen from the JCD.

JRAC PolicyRapidly validate a resource deployed and/or employed combatant commander’s Joint Urgent Operational Needs (JUON)

Quickly address Immediate Warfighter Need (IWN) in order to prevent combat related loss of life and /or mission failure

Considered as joint in nature and outside of the scope of existing DoD 5000 Series and services processes

Not intended to compete with any of the current service processes but rather to complement them

Not intended to replace any other Joint Staff process but potentially leverage these processes and focus them in support of combatant commander JUONs

Supports Current Force Acquisition

SummaryRAs provide a consistent point of departure for implementing solutions so that each realization of the architecture:

Follows a consistent decomposition and design patternReduces cost by

Exploiting opportunities for reuse of services, products, data definitions, etc.

Reduces schedule byStarting with a core architecture to be tailored for implementation

Reduces risk byIncorporating required global capabilitiesProfits from lessons learned and related expertise

Industry’s investment in reference architectures provides reduced cost, risk, and schedule
