What is the status of MODAR?

When MODAF was originally developed, there was a vision of a single repository for MODAF architectures. The MOD Architecture Repository (MODAR) was the name proposed for this central repository. Over time it has become apparent that this approach is not sustainable and a federated approach is preferable. The US DOD also appear to be moving in this direction with their Defence Architecture Repository System (DARS) repository, where the ‘R’ is now thought of in many areas as ‘Registry’.

MOD is still determining the best way forward for this federated approach. The US DOD are looking to adopt the federated approach for their DODAF 2 development.
