Abstract The modular combat system, characterised by its inherent flexibility, reconfigurability, and adaptability, has emerged as a critical enabler for supporting new warfare concepts such as Mosaic Warfare and for addressing dynamic combat environments. Developing a dedicated metamodel is vital for creating a standardized architectural description method for modular combat systems. Based on domain meta-modelling methodologies and following an analysis of the conceptual framework and key elements of modular combat systems, this study tailored and extended the service and resource viewpoints of the Unified Architecture Framework meta-model while establishing a data viewpoint. This results in a meta-model that supported a consistent multi-viewpoint description. Through an air and missile defence case study, the complete architectural modelling process, from capability decomposition to service clustering and finally to resource grouping, was demonstrated. The analysis emphasizes its flexibility, offering a robust meta-model and methodological basis for designing modular combat systems.
