2023 UAF Summit: Using The UAF in Support of Mission Engineering Activities

James Martin, Distinguished Engineer (The Aerospace Corporation) https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-martin-14702481 Mission Engineering is the deliberate planning, analyzing, organizing, and integrating of current and emerging operational and system capabilities to achieve desired warfighting mission effects. A Mission Engineering process was developed to capture the approach defined in the DoD’s Mission Engineering Guide. The purpose of this is to help train new mission engineers and merge this with standard approaches for capturing mission architectures. The Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) provides a framework of standardized views from which to model different aspects of an architecture, including the various concepts and properties of the mission being engineered. The Mission Engineering steps are tied to the workflow steps in the Enterprise Architecture Guide for UAF to help inform mission engineers of which UAF views can be used during the Mission Engineering effort. This session will address mapping between the UAF workflow and steps in the Mission Engineering Guide and how to use UAF when doing Mission Engineering activities. https://www.omg.org/uaf/ https://www.omg.org/spec/UAF https://www.omg.org/omg-certifications/uaf-certifications-sponsorship.htm https://youtu.be/AWJk_7KtQ0w uaf-chairs@omg.org
