The Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) is based on UPDM 3.0 and the UML/SysML in military communities.
Value propositions are to develop standardized and consistent enterprise architectures based on the U.S. Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the UK Ministry of Defense Architecture Framework (MODAF) and as well as the NAF (NATO 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.
UAF meets the specific business, operational and systems-of-systems integration needs of commercial and industrial enterprises as well as the most current version of:
- U.S. Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF)
- UK Ministry of Defense Architecture Framework (MODAF)
- North Atlantic Treaty Organization Architecture Framework (NAF)
UAF architecture models provide a means to develop an understanding of the complex systems and the 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.
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.
In other words, the Unified Architecture Framework offers a structured approach for managing the complexity of systems of systems (SoS) engineering within the organization in different levels of abstraction.
Want to learn more? Tonex offers Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) Training for Managers, a 1-day course designed for managers who want to have an understanding of Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) and the methods representing an enterprise architecture that enables stakeholders to focus on specific areas of interest in the enterprise while retaining sight of the big picture.
Participants will learn how UAF meets the specific business, operational and systems-of-systems integration needs of commercial and industrial enterprises as well as the DoDAF/MODAF/NAF.
