C4ISR Architectures in UML and Rhapsody - Required Products

Overview The C4ISR Architecture Framework (C4ISR-AF) is a semantic framework for representing architectures in a consistent way. It was conceived as a way of providing a common means to specify systems for the Department of Defense (DoD) in its many facets and programs. It is being updated by the DoD Architecture Framework Working Group (AFWG) into a new standard called the DoD Architecture Framework (DAF). Architectures in the C4ISR-AF have three fundamental views - operational, systems, and technical. The emphasis in each of these views is, of course, different and distinct, but they overlap to a significant degree.
