Using the DoD Architecture Framework and System Modeling Language for the Development of Security System Architectures

摘要

Security of special materials has become a more complex task as the threats have changed and the numberof stakeholders has increased. The physical protection of assets requires a broader assessment of threatsand a robust delay, detection, and response architecture. Sandia National Laboratories has beeninvestigating the use of various tools to define robust and responsive architectures that can be effectivelyimplemented for the protection of special materials across a broad spectrum of threats. This includes thedevelopment of interfaces to local, state, federal, and international agencies, which would in turn allowthese agencies to coordinate their efforts to respond to a security event. In particular, we have evaluatedDoDAF 1.5 (DoD Architecture Framework version 1.5) integrated with Systems Modeling Language(SysML) to develop use cases, scenarios, and requirements for a broad spectrum of physical securitysystems. This paper outlines the use of DoDAF and SysML for the design of security systems and howthese tools can be used to develop interfaces with various stakeholder agencies.
