Course 11775: DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) Version 2.0 Training

The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) defines a standard way to organize an enterprise architecture (EA) or systems architecture into complementary and consistent views.

DoDAF is the standard framework chosen by the United States Department of Defense to comply with the Clinger-Cohen Act and United States Office of Management and Budget Circulars A-11 and A-130. It is administered by the Office of the DoD Deputy CIO Enterprise Architecture & Standards Directorate. DoDAF was formerly named C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) AF. Other derivative frameworks based on DoDAF include the NATO Architecture Framework (NAF) and Ministry of Defense (United Kingdom) Architecture Framework (MODAF).

DoDAF 2.0 focuses on architecture data, rather than on developing individual products. Data can be collected, organized, and stored by a wide range of architecture tools developed by commercial sources and organized using the DoDAF Meta-model (DM2)... A 'Data Capture Method' for each data group of the DM2 is provided in Volume 2 to guide architects in collecting and organizing the necessary architecture data.

DoDAF Version 2.0 introduces a DoDAF Meta-model (DM2), consisting of a Conceptual Data Model (CDM), Logical Data Model (LDM), and Physical Exchange Specification (PES) as an integral part of the architecture framework. The DM2 replaces the Core Architecture Data Model (CADM) referenced in previous versions of DoDAF.

TONEX DoDAF 2.0 training the guidance and rules for developing, representing, and understanding architectures based on a common denominator across DoD, Joint, and multinational boundaries. It provides external stakeholders with insight into how the DoD develops architectures. It ensures that architecture descriptions can be compared and related across programs, mission areas, and ultimately, the enterprise, thus, establishing the foundation for analyses that supports decision-making processes throughout the DoD.
