National system modelling in BMD Architecture
The Contractor shall improve the way national systems configurations and their exchanges with NATO command and control systems are modelled in the BMD architecture.
The current configurations of national systems are not captured in the Architecture but in PowerPoint documents. This information should be part of the CM managed Architecture.
The current representation of functions for national systems is not descriptive enough and if altered to represent the functional capabilities of the national systems could be leveraged to describe these relationships with National Systems explicitly rather than relying upon knowledge held outside the Architecture and improve the data exchange mapping.
In refactoring the national system relationships it is also worthwhile looking at the Operational Activity level with the CONEMP team (Node Roles) to determine the operator relationships with the planning and mission execution Phases of the COPD process involving National Systems
