4.5.1 The Capability Integration Framework: A New Way of Doing Enterprise Architecture

Abstract

The Capability Integration Framework was created to help Air Force Space Command leadership understand the relationships that existed within their organization. By following a modeling process developed by The Aerospace Corporation, the architecture team was able to deliver the first version of the tool after three months of work. This paper will briefly discuss the modeling process and will use the Capability Integration Framework as an example for applying this process. Some features unique to this model will also be demonstrated.
