Systems Architecture Development

Model-Based Systems Architecture Designed for Clarity, Compliance, and Lifecycle Success

ITZ delivers model-driven system architectures for defense, government, and research-based programs. We apply Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methods to define, structure, and communicate how complex systems function, long before they’re built or integrated.

Our architects use industry-standard frameworks such as DoDAF, UAF, and UPDM, along with modeling languages like SysML and UML, to ensure every element of your system is aligned with mission requirements, acquisition guidelines, and lifecycle expectations.

ITZ Solutions Include

  • Architecture development using OOSEM (Object-Oriented Systems Engineering Method)
  • Compliance with DoDAF, UPDM, and UAF frameworks
  • Modeling in SysML and UML using tools like:
    • Cameo Systems Modeler
    • Sparx Enterprise Architect
    • IBM Rational Rhapsody
  • Requirements allocation and functional decomposition
  • Interface definition and behavior modeling
  • Support for integration with MBSE workflows and digital twin environments
  • Architecture documentation and stakeholder visualization tools
  • Mission Relevance

    Ambiguity in system design leads to delays, cost overruns, and operational gaps. In high-stakes programs, where failure isn’t an option, MBSE-based systems architecture ensures that every requirement, interface, and behavior is traceable, testable, and aligned with your goals.

    Whether supporting Navy programs or integrating across joint DoD initiatives, ITZ builds architectures that reduce risk, enable digital twin development, and support system evolution over time.
