Capability Architecture DEvelopment

The Functional Directions Capability Architecture Framework extends the architectural concepts beyond the operational and system domain models of an Enterprise Architecture with a third domain that models the engineering processes of the capability lifecycle to achieve lifecycle optimisation

Our CAF consists of: 

Operational Domain

The Operational Domain models the abstract operational, or business needs of the capability

System Domain

The System Domain models the concrete systems of the implementation

Program Domain

The Program Domain models the processes of the system lifecycle. Our generic system lifecycle model, derived from IEEE-51288 can be adapted to your business

Systems Engineering Expertise

Functional Directions brings over 30 years' experience in defining and applying the principles of systems engineering for a diverse range of military, civil and commercial development projects

System Engineering Process Defintion

With extensive experience across the full system lifecycle we can assist you in establishing best-practice processes to maximise your return on investment in system devlopment

Operational or Business Needs Analysis

We understand the value of establishing a formal definition of the operational needs of an organisation prior to embarking on the implementation stage of the system lifecycle. 

Systems Design

We bring an extensive knowledge of modern implementation technologies with extensive specialist knowledge in Combat System and the Intelligent Transport Systems architectures and design  

Operational Hazard Analysis and the risk Aware concept DEvel

Operational Hazard Analysis is our novel risk analysis method that is integ

Benefits of Early Lifecycle Risk Analysis

Integrating the risk analysis and mitigation into the concepts stage of the capability lifecycle can validate that the risk profile of a system is acceptable avoiding wasted effort and expense  


Allows the widest range of risk mitigations to be considered before later lifecycle design decisions limit mitigation options 


Establishes a framework for the management of risk through the later stages of the system lifecycle 


Drives the definition of the user or operational requirements of the cap
