Deliver DoDAF compliant systems architectures
Telelogic® Tau for DoDAF Add On™ is a systems engineering solution for defining and constructing DoDAF (Department of Defense Architecture Framework, (previously known as C4ISR AF) compliant system architectures. Telelogic Tau for DoDAF Add On's powerful Telelogic Tau UML 2.1 and SysML based modeling capabilities ensure consistency of DoDAF views and products by automatically propagating diagram changes across the enterprise architecture. Auto-generation of many DoDAF views and instant, automatic error detection in DoDAF products deliver significant productivity gains. Through tight integration with Telelogic® DOORS®, traceability between DoDAF products and specifications and standards can be established and maintained while creating and refining the model(s), making compliance simpler and easier to ensure. Executable models enable you to validate architecture descriptions, so you get it right earlier. For support for DoDAF compliant enterprise architectures and business process modeling, see Telelogic® System Architect for DoDAF Interface™ |

Paper: Modeling DoDAF Compliant architectures
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. This white paper describes a technical approach for improving how we specify system and system-of-systems architectures using frameworks in general, and the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) in particular. The model driven approach to architectural frameworks explained here, which is based on UML 2.0, Telelogic Tau, and Telelogic DOORS, can substantially improve productivity and quality.
To The Point Guide: Why a combination of RM and modeling will improve your systems engineering process
This guide discusses how engineers can use a process of combining requirements, models, and design to enable them to describe both problems and solutions while capturing the rationale for the decisions made along the way and hence improve productivity and efficiency of their overall development.
To The Point Guide: The Best Model for Systems and Software Architects
Complex problems and solutions are hard to describe, and even harder for reviewers and other users to understand. Systems engineers and software architects need a comprehensive way to describe both problems and solutions: One that allows them to focus their creativity on the design and not on the implementation details. One that increases formality and precision. One that automatically checks for design errors and creates specifications that are clear and correct. Read on to discover how you can realize these capabilities by adopting a UML 2.0 based approach to designing architectures and why UML 2.0 is now proving to be the best model for Systems and Software Architects.
