  Biography
 Mike Gordon is the Business Unit Leader for architecture
development within Lockheed Martin STASYS Limited.
He has over 8 years development and consulting experience
of business process modelling and enterprise architecture
development and application in the Ministry of Defence
(MoD), Air Traffic Management and Space environments.
Mike leads the core LM STASYS and MoD development of
Architectural Frameworks including developing the Capability
Architecture for the UK’s Air Command and Battlespace
Management (CBM(Air)), the first major product to be
developed using the MoDAF approach. The LM STASYS architecture
team’s work in this breakthrough area is being
held up as an example of best practice by the Architecture
Framework Implementation Group (AFIG).
Before joining STASYS, Mike enjoyed a career of 20
years in the Army where he carried out a variety of

Presentation
Managing Complexity within Architectures -- Applying
the Concept of Exploration and Refinement in NASA's Space
Exploration Programme
These are exciting times to be involved in Enterprise Architecture
development. Many organisations are now considering the
power of an enterprise architecture to underpin their change
management processes, including informing and supporting
their acquisition strategies.
NASA is considering the use and application of an enterprise
architecture approach to support their Concept for Exploration
and Refinement (CE&R) for human exploration of the Moon,
Mars and beyond over the next 25 years. The LM STASYS team
have been working with Raytheon, one of 11 US companies funded
by NASA to conduct a CE&R studies, to promote the use
of an enterprise architecture as the core to their Systems
Engineering and Integration (SE&I) within the CE&R
proposal to NASA.
This presentation will act as a case study and will look
at how the use of an enterprise architecture is being proposed
to support the development of the NASA CE&R and how the
Network Centric Operations approach, being adopted by the
US forces, has applicability in the Space environment.
