DoD Information Enterprise Architecture Release

The DoD Information Enterprise Architecture version 1.1 (DoDIEA 1.1) provides a common DoD Information Enterprise foundation to support accelerated Department of Defense (DoD) transformation to net-centric operations. It presents the vision of net-centric operations and establishes near-term priorities to address critical barriers that must be overcome in order to achieve the vision.

The DoD Information Enterprise Architecture consolidates underlying DoD net-centric policies to provide guidance for all of DoD, across all portfolios, enabling informed discussions among decision-makers about key issues, and underpinning process improvements throughout the Department. Version 1.1 consists of an edited main document along with three new appendices: Appendix D, Applying the DoD Information Enterprise Architecture; Appendix E, Compliance with the DoD Information Enterprise Architecture; and Appendix F, Mapping the DoD IEA Activities tot he NCOW RM Activities. Appendix F is meant to provide a bridge from the Reference Model to the IEA, giving those efforts that are in compliance with the RM the means to comply with the IEA.
