Abstract
The Department Of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) version 2.0 provides an
architecture that is referenced by the department of defense in the US. The architecture uses
various viewpoints to visualize to understand and assimilate the complexities that come with
large systems. Such systems might have both complexity and interoperability issues. DoDAF
establishes the framework used to view the various stakeholders, system components, their
interconnectivity, and their interactions with the environment they operate in.

DoD Frameworks
The Department Of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) gives visualization
infrastructure for particular concerns of stakeholders by the use of different viewpoint that are
organized to form an architecture framework that is used as a reference document by the US
department of defense. The various viewpoints are objects for visualization, assimilation, and
comprehending the broader complexities and range of architectural descriptions via the use of
structural, ontological, graphical, tabular, behavioral, pictorial, probabilistic, temporal, or other
alternative conceptual methodologies (Xue, Luo, & Xiong, 2012). The DoDAF is specifically
well-matched to large systems that have interoperability and complex integration problems. The
DoDAF is exceptional in its deployment of “operational views.” The operational viewpoint
offers any system a detailed and specific outline of stakeholders within the domain and
interactions with other fields that the system will operate in.
DoDAF enhances the progress of architecture to facilitate the decision-making process.
The framework triangle entails the system/services view, the operational view, and the technical
standards view (Handley, Amissah, Heimerdinger, & Vance, 2015). The viewpoints, according
to DoDAF V2.0, are aligned to ISO standards to facilitate understanding of the architectural
requirements of the DoD. The applicable frameworks are listed below;
a) All Viewpoint framework guides all companies on the overreaching aspects of the
architecture. Portrays the primary parts of architecture setting that identify with all
perspectives.
b) Capability Viewpoints articulates delivery timing, competence requirements, and the
deployed capability.
