NATO Architecture Framework
The aim of the NATO Architecture Framework Version 4 (NAFv4) is to provide a standard for developing and describing enterprise architectures for both military and business use. It provides a standardized way to develop architecture artifacts, by defining the following:
The NATO Architecture Framework v4 (NAFv4), issued by the Architecture Capability Team (ACaT) of the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Board (C3B) in January 2018, provides guidance on describing both enterprise architectures and systems architectures.
The objectives of the framework are to:
NAFv4 Chapter 2 provides a methodology which includes how to set up an architecting environment, govern, manage, define and evaluate architectures. The methodology has been developed from accepted best practice and standards, detailing the following:
NAFv4 Chapter 3 defines architecture viewpoints which describe the content, concerns addressed, usage and representation.
NAF Architecture Viewpoints serve as the baseline for any NAF-Compliant architecture description effort.
To aid architects, these viewpoints are organized into a logical and consistent manner and presented as a “grid” similar to that used for the Zachman Framework. This ‘grid’ structure, represents the various ‘subjects of concern’ (rows) and ‘aspects of concern’ (columns), as shown below:
The selection of Architecture Viewpoints must be tailored to the stakeholder concerns associated with the architecture task. Suitable Viewpoints need to be identified in the grid, should additional Viewpoints be required they must be defined.
