You can use the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) feature to describe the architecture of a complex system. The DoDAF feature provides an open architecture to build DoDAF work products based upon structured analysis and design techniques.

You can launch DoDAF reports from the Reports menu. Reports assist you with the analysis and communication of DoDAF products at various stages in their development.
To support the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) modeling, you must customize a new or existing project encyclopedia by configuring the encyclopedia properties.
System Architect offers many optional drawing and tool behavior features. You can set preferences to optimize how the software reacts to your drawing commands when you create frameworks products.
The All Views (AV) products provide information that relates to each of the other views of the architecture but do not present a distinct view of the architecture. AV products describe the scope and context, or vocabulary, of the architecture.
The operational architecture view describes the tasks, activities, operational elements, and information flows that are required for a military operation to take place. It describes what types and how often information can be exchanged, which tasks and activities are supported by the information exchanges, and the nature of information exchanges in order to establish specific interoperability requirements.
You can create diagrams to describe the systems view (SV) of a complex system. The systems architecture view describes and depicts systems and interconnections that provide for, or support, warfare functions.
Modeling net-centric architectures with capabilities and services
To building net-centric architectures, as prescribed by DoDAF 1.5, you capture the capabilities and services provided and used by the operational and systems architecture.
