Traditional information systems in the Ministry of National Defense(MND) are insufficient about interoperability between all kinds of them. Also there is no the applicable architecture framework to develop information systems. The Architecture Framework(AF) is to provide guidance for describing architectures for both warfighting operations and business operations and processes in the MND. Therefore, in this paper we propose the MND AF to develop and manage information systems in the MND.

The US DoD architecture framework defines architecture Products according to three viewpoints : operational view, system view, and technical view. But, its coarse-grained development process causes leakage of the details In transforming among different views. It also uses different methods for architecture products development, so that the levels of those products are not consistent. So. we propose MND AF(Ministry of National Defense Architecture Framework) for military environment to solve those problems. We propose additional architecture products to achieve consistency, including “architecture disciplines definition description,”“organization-to-activity relationships matrix,” “system definition description,” and “technical reference model,” etc. We also propose the architecture development process in more detail through seven steps. In addition, we propose the applicability of those products to the life cycle processes of the acquisition management. MND AF can provide consistency and traceability of architecture products, provide the basis for sl·stem integration and interoperability. Also, architecture developers can construct architecture in a more effective and efficient way through MND AF.

MND(Ministry of National Defense) has developed MND AF(Ministry of National Defense Architecture Framework) and CADM(Core Architecture Data Model) to guarantee interoperability among defense information systems. TRM(Technical Reference Model) and SP(Standard Profile) product defined in MND AF is core part of Information Technology Architecture and core element of interoperability guarantee. In this paper, we proposed a method which manages technical service and standard of TRM and SP, and developed TRM and SP management system based on the method. TRM and SP management system provides the basis for interoperability among information systems and a more efficient development and management of TRM and SP product.

MND(Ministry of National Defense) has developed .nm AF(Ministry of National Defense Architecture Framework) to guarantee interoperability among defense information systems. Users can easily and consistently develop architecture products through MND AF. There is necessity for development if CADM(Core Architecture Data Model), which facilitate exchange, integration, and comparison for architecture data, to store architecture data from architecture products and reuse them. We developed CADM from defining entities and relationships that satisfy data requirement of each architecture product from MND AF. After we developed architecture products about MIMS(Military Intelligence Management System), and inserted these architecture data to CADM repository. we verified CADM entities and relationships through query. Through CABM which provides common data model for the whole my architectures, interoperability and integration among defense information systems ran be improved, and integrated defense information resources efficiently can be managed.

MND(Ministry of National Defense) has developed MND AF(Ministry of National Defense Architecture Framework) and CADM(Core Architecture Data Model to guarantee interoperability among defense information systems. But, it is very difficult to manage architecture product documented through MND AF and CADM. So, there Is necessity for development of modeling tool and repository system which can develop architecture products and manage architecture product informations in common repository In this paper, we developed architecture product management system which supports development and management of meta model and architecture product of MND AF and CADM. Through architecture product management system architect of each agency can construct architecture product in a more effective and efficient way with modeling method and a user can search and refer useful architecture product informations using query function. Also, architecture product management system provides the basis for system integration and interoperability with integration, analysis and comparison of architecture product.

The ROK military has established the MND-AF (Ministry of National Defense- Architecture Framework) and is applying it when developing architecture for Enterprise (MND), Segment (component) and Solution (weapons and force support system). The AMM (Architecture Meta model) of the MND-AF supports the establishment of interoperability by systematizing the architecture information structure defined by the Architecture artifact, describing the relationship between data and also by liking reference models and Information technology standard, common components, and MND-Meta data. which are interoperability standards. However, the MND-AMM has insufficient linkage with the standards, which places constraints on applying interoperability standards when developing Solution architecture. This study suggests a logical data model (OV-7c) from the MND-Meta-data-based Architecture meta model that will enhance the application of MND meta data managed by the MND interoperability standard when developing Solution architecture.

Modern weapon systems are composed of complex systems(System of Systems) and require a complex and advanced operational concept that performs missions through interoperability with various weapon systems. In order to derive the operational concept of the weapon system that the military wants to acquire (i.e., single mission, component operation, Joint and Alliance operations), it is necessary to identify the system related to the weapon system, environmental factors and restrictions of the weapon system to be developed. Through the derivation of the operational concept, the weapon system acquisition agency can reasonably and accurately extract various and complex requirements. In this paper, we propose a complementary method of using MND-AF to OCD and ORD required in weapon system acquisition process. MND-AF can increase the understanding and consensus of business stakeholders (users, acquirers, developers, etc.) by showing the results of weapon system analysis from various perspectives. We compare the items in the standard form of OCD and ORD with the MND-AF outputs.
