Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) defines ways of representing an enterprise architecture that enables stakeholders to focus on specific areas of interest in the enterprise while retaining sight of the big picture.

The Unified Architecture Framework is based on the Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF. UAF defines ways of representing an enterprise architecture (EA) that enables stakeholders to focus on specific areas of interest in the enterprise while retaining sight of the big picture.

An enterprise architecture is a conceptual blueprint for conducting enterprise analysis, design, planning and implementation, using a comprehensive approach at all times, for the successful development and execution of strategy.

The purpose of enterprise architecture is to determine how an organization can most effectively achieve the current and future objectives of its business goals. Each enterprise architecture involves governing principles that drive an ongoing discussion about business strategy and how it can be expressed through IT.  Enterprise architects are professionals who manage each structure to ensure that IT systems are aligned with ongoing business strategies and standards.

UAF meets the specific business, operational and systems-of-systems integration needs of commercial and industrial enterprises as well as the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other defense organizations

UAF architecture models provide a means to develop an understanding of the complex relationships that exist between organizations, systems, and systems-of-systems and enable the analysis of these systems to ensure that they meet the expectations of the user community.

Additionally, UAF provides a set of rules to enable users to create consistent enterprise architectures (as models) based on generic enterprise and system concepts with rich semantics. These models then become the repositories from which various views can be extracted.
