OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTERA-10 BACKGROUND

Legacy AircraftThe “Green Machine”OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTER A-10 designed as a tank buster, low-technology, easy tomaintain ground attack fighter A-10 upgrades limited in scope and capability. Sustainment programs Largely form/fit/function replacements.Lack of funding and a master plan (architecture roadmap) resulted instovepipe sustainment/capabilities modifications withoutconsiderations for: Systems Engineering Distribution of functions Growth of capabilities Interoperability

OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTERARCHITECTURE &REQUIREMENTS OVERVIEW

Integrated ArchitectureOverviewOGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTER What is an architecture? What is an “integrated” architecture? “The structure of components, their relationships, and the principles andguidelines governing their design and evolution over time” – DoD IntegratedArchitecture PanelArchitecture is an integrated architecture when products and their constituentarchitecture data elements are developed such that architecture dataelements defined in one view are the same (i.e., same names, definitions, andvalues) as architecture data elements referenced in another view.What are the advantages of integrated architectures? Facilitate an organized and consistent standardized design processFacilitate the clear definition and implementation of new operational, system& technical requirementsPromote interoperabilityRequired by Joint Capabilities Integration & Development System (JCIDS)!Provide for traceability of system requirements back to the originating jointconcepts (facilitates successful POM inputs, i.e., getting program funding)Facilitate systems and systems sustainment engineering

JCAS CONOPS in DOORSOGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTERJoint level documents are importedinto DOORS and any data deemedoperationally significant to the A-10is marked for inclusion into theOperational Architecture.

Operational Architecture Hierarchy- Establish & Maintain Battlespace AwarenessOGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTEROperational Architectures are createdin System Architect and linked both tothe Joint Level capabilities and the A-10specific system requirements.This example shows the JCAS CONOPS‘Battlespace Awareness’ capabilitydecomposed into the components thatprovide the capability.

Operational Architecture Thread- Establish & Maintain Battlespace AwarenessOGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTERThis view (OV-5) details the general datarequired to perform the operationsspelled out in the JCAS CONOPS.

Operational Requirements- Derived from Operational ArchitectureOGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTERA-10 documents such as the ConnectivityCDD are linked to the Operational Viewsand specific system requirements

System Requirements- Derived from Operational RequirementsOGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTERThe A-10 system requirements arestored in DOORS and are traced to theOperational Views, System Views, aswell as documents such as theConnectivity CDD and PIDS.

System Functional Architecture- Developed from System RequirementsOGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTERThe functions are traced from thesystem requirements which they fulfillas well as any associated OperationalViews.

System Physical Architecture- Implements System Functional ArchitectureOGDEN AIR LOGISTICS CENTERThe functions are then linkedto the actual systems in thephysical architecture.Ref: A-10 System Architecture Plan Rev A, Vol II
