MDG Technology for UPDM

Introduction

SparxSystems helps organisations to comply with specified architecture frameworks for the defence sector.

The integrable MDG technology to UPDM for Enterprise Architect provides a model-based framework for planning, designing and implementing architectures in the unified profile of DoDAF and MODAF (UPDM).

The Unified Profile for DoDAF and MODAF-UPDM allows users to create models using the UK Ministry of Defence architecture framework.

The MDG technology for UPDM with Enterprise Architect enables:

R

Creating models of complex systems that describe hardware, software, data, organisations and processes.

R

The definition of consistent, precise architectures with a clear separation of the areas of service, systems, measures, strategies and skills/resources

R

The analysis, specification, design and verification of system models with corresponding levels of abstraction

R

The implementation of a standardised approach to architecture definition using UML, with the option of passing on the models via standardised, tool-independent formats such as XMI.
