Principal views

Three principal views to describe the overall architecture
ARIS Defense Solution contains three views, the Operational View (OV), Systems View (SV), and Technical Standards View (TV), which combine in logical fashion to describe the entire enterprise architecture. Each of these views comprises specific architecture products, which in turn model particular objects, such as, organization, function, application, or information.

Structuring model

Integration of all DoDAF products in a single solution
ARIS employs an object-oriented approach to allow each architecture element to be reused across all views and products of the DoDAF architecture. Benefits include the ability to define requirements in the form of operational activities in the Operational View and then to capture the supporting applications in the Systems View by linking the applications to system functions.

The integration capabilities provided by ARIS enable flexible architecture development. Accordingly, ARIS Defense Solution supports both top-down and bottom-up strategies. An integrated approach allows core elements, such as, organizations, systems, activities, and data to be defined in specific architecture products, for example, OV-4, OV-5, and SV-1.
