Public Safety Architecture Framework

The PSCR program led development of the first-ever public safety architecture framework. Three volumes currently constitute the PSAF.

PSAF Volume I and PSAF Volume II draw upon the organization and discussion of architecture principles and concepts published in DoDAF documents.

PSAF Volume III draws upon the experience of numerous subject matter experts in public safety radio systems, as well as the findings resulting from the PSAF trial and PSAF pilot. PSAF Volume III describes key data elements that can be used to characterize a public safety land mobile radio system, a dispatch system, and a public safety organization. This is the first step in the development of a comprehensive public safety communications data model that can be linked back into the three PSAF views and products described in PSAF Volume II.
