DoDAF (Department of Defense Architecture Framework)

The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is a structured methodology used by the U.S. Department of Defense to create, analyze, and communicate complex system architectures. It provides guidelines for documenting system components, their relationships, and the processes involved, ensuring that all stakeholders have a clear understanding. By standardizing the architecture, DoDAF helps decision-makers align technology, resources, and goals efficiently, improving interoperability and reducing costs while enhancing system effectiveness across military operations.
