The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is the industry-standard Enterprise Architecture Framework for defense and aerospace applications defined by the US Department of Defense (DoD).

All major DoD weapon and information technology system procurements are required to document their enterprise architectures using the views prescribed by the DoDAF. It is however, not restricted to the U.S. sector; many international military-oriented companies use this framework as a basis to model enterprise architectures.

The DoDAF defines a standard way of organizing enterprise architectures into complementary and consistent views. It details all the viewpoints addressing the different aspects of enterprise architectures (the overall purpose, the operational perspective, the system perspective and the technical perspective).

HOPEX DoDAF is based on the DoDAF v.2.02 release. For detailed guidance about DoDAF 2.02, see the official DoDAF web site.

HOPEX DoDAF enables to generate DoDAF deliverables. It is based on the standard features of the HOPEX modeling tool, however, dedicated features have been introduced to guide the DoDAF expert to use the product with the vocabulary with which he/she is accustomed.
