Study on system of systems capability architecture development based on DoDAF V2.0

摘要

Capability, which can be seen as an emergent property of a system of systems, is the ability to achieve a desired effect in a specific context. It can be depicted by one or more operational threads that compose a set of operational activities. Based on DoDAF V2.0, this article proposes a four-phased process of SoS capability architecture development mainly using the capability viewpoint to describe capability taxonomy and evolution, and the operational viewpoint to describe the tasks and activities. And a search and rescue system is provided as an example to illustrate the process.
