Architecture Transformation Research on Joint Border Defense Systems-of-Systems

Currently, with the deepening of development and open of China's border, issues of border joint defense become increasingly arduous. Traditional means of cooperation and coordination are far from being able to align requirements; information systems of different joint defense units are difficult to interconnect and interoperate; the previous results of joint defense informatization are difficult to inherit. The main reason is the lack of border joint defense information construction with a top-level design approach. Via the lens of top-level design, this paper establishes a multi-viewpoint architecture framework and transformation process, develops the as-is and to-be joint defense architecture, and finally analyzes transformation principles from the as-is architecture to to-be architecture. This paper mainly explores the architecture transformation mechanisms under the border joint defense scenario.
