A Novel Approach for C4ISR Requirements Elicitation

The capability-oriented requirements elicitation is an emerging research topic of requirements engineering, especially for complex system such as the C4ISR system. One of the problems is that the capability requirements are usually articulated in natural languages and need to be formally specified to support enterprise architecture analysis. The paper proposes a framework for modeling the domain requirements of C4ISR capabilities and suggests an extended UML modeling technique. As the modeling framework accords with the standard DoD Architecture Framework, the proposed method may populate C4ISR architectural analysis.
