scope:

The objective of the charter is to put an Architecture in place to guide the development of data communications support for Navy information systems using common user resources and capabilities wherever possible. The initial step was to develop a control architecture for approval by the Steering Committee to identify and establish boundaries between major architectural support efforts (subarchitectures), define necessary procedures for maintenance, and assign responsibilities for architecture development and implementation. A standing core group will periodically review subarchitectures, determine specific goals, and identify development tasks needed to meet architecture objectives. Working group will initiate efforts to accomplish approved tasks and recommend specific architecture modifications.
