An architectural analysis model is presented and demonstrated that is built from a System-of-Systems Engineering process model. The analysis subject is the design of Command, Control, Communications, and Information (C3I) services for a campaign of crewed and robotic lunar surface missions. Agent models represent constituent systems and generate interactions at multiple levels of fidelity and in multi-layered networks. The analysis capabilities of the object-oriented tool allow users to evaluate performance metrics and solution structure at multiple levels and including multiple attributes simultaneously. A sample of exercised analyses and ensuing results presented shows how informed decision-support can be improved by executing studies within and across many integrated system-of-systems architecture solutions for Lunar C3I design. Once enabled with further model fidelity and analysis capability development, as driven by customer needs and feedback, the capabilities of the developed tool can fulfill the needs of architectural analysis for C3I design investigation within lunar surface operations domain.
