UAF (Unified Architecture Framework)

The Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) is a structured approach used by organizations to design and understand complex systems, such as military, aerospace, or large IT projects. It provides a standardized way to represent different aspects—like system functions, components, processes, and relationships—so everyone involved can easily see how parts fit together and work together. UAF promotes clear communication, reduces misunderstandings, and helps ensure that complex systems are well-planned, integrated, and efficient, supporting better decision-making throughout the system's development and lifecycle.
