The MOD Architecture Framework Version 1.2

Welcome to the online documentation web site for the MOD Architecture Framework (MODAF) – the UK MOD’s chosen implementation of an Enterprise Architecture Framework.

Version 1.2 Release

MODAF version 1.2 has now been officially released. The MODAF v1.2 M3 is now available [MOD RLI users need to access this alternate M3 v1.2 site].

As of the version 1.2 release, documentation for the Service-Orientated Views and other significantly changed Views has been added. These and other changes are listed in the change record. The new and modified pages can be identified due to the addition of version 1.2 to the title. Pages labelled version 1.1 or earlier remain unchanged in version 1.2.

This release is intended to be the last major release of MODAF for the forseable future in order to let user understanding, tool implementations and architecture processes mature in line with the MODAF framework.

MODAF

MODAF is the UK MoD’s chosen implementation of an Enterprise Architecture Framework. The principal purpose of MODAF is to facilitate the successful delivery of Network Enabled Capability (NEC). By covering both the operational and technical aspects across the enterprise, MODAF-compliant Architectures enable all communities of interest to gain the essential common understanding that will be required to deliver the benefits to be derived from NEC.

As an enabler for managing complexity, MODAF provides a specification of how to represent an integrated model of an enterprise, from the operational / business aspects to the systems that provide capability, together with appropriate standards and programmatic aspects. It assists in managing complexity by providing a logical, standardised way to present and integrate models of the enterprise.
