Shelton Lee is an Operations Research Principal for Lockheed Martin IS&GS –Defense. In this capacity, Mr. Lee is a Senior Enterprise Architect and Task Lead for the DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF) development and sustainment under the DoD Enterprise Architecture Program. He works directly with the senior leadership of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense/DoD CIO. The DoDAF serves as the overarching, comprehensive framework and conceptual model enabling development of architectures for key DOD business decisions. Mr. Lee oversaw the completion of the DoDAF v2.0 Search and Rescue model exemplar.
Prior to supporting the DoD Enterprise Architecture Program, Mr. Lee provided Systems Integration support to the Intelligence Community (IC), specifically in support of architecture development, both at an Agency and Community level. He also led Lockheed Martin’s high visibility effort to improve horizontal integration across the Corporation by providing leadership and hands-on oversight for the Lockheed Martin Pre-Acquisition Systems Engineering (PASE) Engineering Procedure which was created using DoDAF v1.5 to assist the transformation of the DoD’s approach to acquisition, as promulgated by the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS 3170) and the DoD 5000 Acquisition Process. PASE promotes the development of enterprise systems requirements base-lines, integrated architecture development, value model determination, program cost analysis, enterprise schedule development, and end-to-end performance analysis/simulation across multiple programs.
While attending graduate school Mr. Lee wrote and presented a paper titled; “Application and Expansion of the Modular Command & Control Evaluation Structure (MCES) as a Framework for Improving Interoperability Management.” This paper introduces the Modular Command and Control Evaluation Structure (MCES) as a method for command and control (C2) planners to use when addressing interoperability management. The framework of MCES is used to identify the short falls of the Marine Corps Technical Interface Concept (TIC) document as an interoperability management tool and provides insight into how to better define interoperability requirements in terms of message exchange occurrences (MEO). MEOs are the building blocks of interoperability, and they can be stored along with their elements of decomposition in an integrated interoperability database (IIDB) for use by C2 planners. He presented a second paper titled, “What is an Information System Architecture?” This paper discusses the main components of an organization’s information systems architecture to include non-technical aspects. An organization’s information system architecture is similar to a building architecture whereas the business operational processes and environment are critical to defining an organization’s information system architecture.
Mr. Lee holds a variety of credentials including: Certified Enterprise Architect Black Belt from FEAC Institute; Certified Program Management, Level III – DAWIA; Science & Research, Development and Engineering, Level III – DAWIA; Acquisition Management Officer, U.S. Marine Corps; Telecommunications Officer, U.S. Marine Corps; Command, Control and Communications (C3) Systems Officer, U.S. Marine Corps; Graduate Certificate in Six Sigma Green Belt-Information Technology from Villanova University; Graduate Certificate in Lean Sigma from Villanova University; Graduate Certificate in Program Management from Defense Acquisition University; M.S. in Command, Control and Communications (C3)/Systems Technology from U.S. Naval Postgraduate School; Gradate Certificate in Telecommunications Management from National University; B.S. in Operations Analysis from U.S. Naval Academy.
