22. Sweden Update
The decision to use MODAF was signed by the SwAF Joint Chief Information Officer (CIO), Rear Admiral (L.H.) Thomas Engevall, on 15 May 2008.
Subsequently, both the Commander Armed Forces Headquarters/chief of staff Swedish Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Sverker Göransson, and the Director General of Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), Gunnar Holmgren, have committed their organisations to the changeover to model-based capability development using MODAF.
The pilot projects will be European Union Battle Group 2011 and the Swedish Defence Information Infrastructure.
Government decision on mandate for the SwAF to accept the invitation to become a full member of IDEAS was made The SwAF Joint CIO started the internal process to get the mandate to sign the TOR on behalf of the SwAF.

24. Sweden Update (Cont.)
Some expected outcomes and benefits by transferring to model based capability development:
Possibilities for interoperability - a common framework facilitates cost effective information management and mutual understanding nationally and internationally.
Increased Traceability - could be achieve by connection the enterprise to a whole providing overview on how systems and sub-systems could interact with each other.
Governance – of whole or parts of systems can be simplified if responsibilities are made clear and if important parameters are identified.
Cost control - can be strengthened if the enterprise is structured and arranged so that possible economical advantages are identified.
Effectiveness - increases:
If influence by changes are immediately identified.
By the re-use and multi-use of Architecture data.
By common training and common usage of architecture as a tool.

25. Management Meeting Actions
Testing and Experimentation : TBD. At this time in the development of IDEAS, the Exercise task is beyond the current capabilities of the Group and it should be deleted as a Group requirement and left to member nations to implement as they see fit or a broader group should be found to take responsibility for Exercise
Timing and Location of Accelerated Development : TBD. The UK will propose a schedule that will allow for completion of the model by Apr 09.
Core Modelers – Develop Final Product
All Modelers - Review of Final Product
All Models - Meeting to Finalize Product (if necessary)
Post IDEAS Working Group Objectives and Organization: TBD. After the Architecture Exchange Specification is finalized the members will consider transforming the Working Group into an Defence Enterprise Architecture Forum to continue to facilitate the exchange of architecture information among the member nations.
Future meetings : TBD. The next management meeting will be scheduled before the Jun 09 Enterprise Architecture Conference.

28. The Modellers Activities - Tuesday AM: Capabilities and Measures Examples
Capability: Maritime Domain Awareness includes:
the ability [of the US Govt] to have awareness of maritime objects with 90% probability of detection under conditions of sea state < 6
the ability [same] to detect “threat” with 99% probability and 0.001% of false alarm
Etc. …
so as to have the effect that probability of attack on homeland ports is less than .001% over 10 years.

Testimony

29. The Modellers Activities - Tuesday AM: Capabilities and Measures Examples
Force Application
The ability to integrate the use of maneuver and engagement in all environments to create the effects necessary to achieve mission objectives.
Engagement – The ability to use kinetic and non-kinetic means in all environments to generate the desired lethal and/or non-lethal effects from all domains and the information environment.
Kinetic Means – The ability to create effects that rely on explosives or physical momentum (i.e., of, relating to, or produced by motion).
Non-Kinetic Means – The ability to create effects that do not rely on explosives or physical momentum. (e.g., directed energy, computer viruses/hacking, chemical, and biological).
Conduct Attack on Operational Targets
Using Nonlethal Means
To engage operational targets with nonlethal joint and multinational means
designed to degrade, impair, disrupt, or delay the performance of enemy
operational forces, tasks, and facilities. The means include the use of
psychological operations, special operations forces, electronic attack, and other
IO capabilities.
