The Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) is an extensive update of the NATO Architecture Framework (NAF), UK Ministry of Defence Architecture Framework (MODAF) and US Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DODAF) that provides the viewpoints necessary to enable complex architectures to be developed and implemented. Some of the matters addressed include cyber-security, governance and enables continuous audit. The presentation will provide an overview of the UAF, an open standard, that is expected to be used globally in defence as well as in many governments.
