Actionable Architecture In the 21st Century

The UAF® Summit 2026 will present the latest thinking in enterprise, mission, and system-of-systems architecture, featuring real-world applications from government and industry. As organizations face increasing complexity and digital transformation demands, the need for architecture-based decision-making has never been greater.

Industry and government leaders are advancing architecture-enabled digital engineering, establishing the foundations for connecting information across and within enterprises. This transformation empowers decision-makers with timely, traceable, and reliable data that supports strategy, design, and operations.

The Summit will explore how the Unified Architecture Framework® (UAF) enables this transformation by integrating enterprise, strategic, and system views within a cohesive modeling approach across the entire lifecycle including acquisition. Presentations and discussions will highlight how UAF is being applied to manage complexity, enhance interoperability, and align technical architectures with mission and business objectives.

Through case studies, expert insights, and practical demonstrations, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how UAF contributes to digital engineering success - bridging strategy and execution, and supporting effective collaboration across diverse stakeholder communities.

Save the Date and discover how architecture-driven approaches are shaping the next generation of enterprise and mission systems worldwide.

About the United Architecture Framework (UAF®)

UAF Specification

The Unified Architecture Framework® (UAF®) is based on the Unified Modeling Language™ (UML®)Systems Modeling Language™ (SysML®), the Unified Profile for the U.S. Department of Defense's Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and the U.K.'s Ministry of Defence's Architecture Framework (MoDAF™) (UPDM™) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) Architecture Framework (NAF). When these military requirements were combined with business sector requirements (90% of concepts and themes captured in the military frameworks are equally applicable in the commercial domains), the UAF was born which serves both commercial and military interests.

Participants include a broad spectrum of parties covering industry, tool vendors, end users and representatives of the DoD, MoD, and NATO.

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 defense organizations.
