Unified architecture framework

Create reliable, easy-to-understand systems with UAF 1.0 and Enterprise Architect

The Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) is integrated into Enterprise Architect 13 and supports specific frameworks such as DoDAF, MODAF, UPDM, NAF and others. Support for UAF is integrated into Enterprise Architect, with the option to migrate from UPDM 2.1

The Unified Architecture Framework Profile (UAFP) 1.0 is also implemented within Enterprise Architect’s support for UAF. Full functionality for UAF is automatically available to all users with a valid UPDM plug-in or Enterprise Architect Suite Edition licence.

Enterprise Architect can be used to specify functional capabilities, services and interactions between complex systems, as well as to trace systems to strategies and organisations to check the completeness of the architecture. Use the best practices resulting from the historical support of DoDAF, MODAF and UPDM to develop well-formed models with clear separation of stakeholder interests.
