本国际标准提供了一种规范语言，即UPDM，不仅信息技术系统架构师群体，而且包括赞助此类系统的高管和企业管理层、监督其开发的项目经理、，支持硬件和软件（设计、实现和测试）的开发人员、主题专家和最终用户。UPDM弥补了从需求设置到高级系统设计以及从业者可视化的差距。虽然乌干达人民国防军是在军事组织及其采购过程的背景下设计的，但也可以完全应用于民用工业和服务组织。UPDM 2.1.1支持以下功能:？一）各种复杂系统的模型体系结构，包括硬件、软件、数据、人员和设施要素；（1）；？系统的模型一致性体系结构- 一）将系统的设计和实施降至较低级别；（1）；？建模面向服务的体系结构；？支持复杂系统的分析、规范、设计和验证；和提高了在基于UML的相关工具和基于其他标准的工具之间交换体系结构信息的能力。概要文件提供了操作能力、服务、系统活动、节点、系统功能、端口、协议、接口、性能、物理属性和度量单位的建模。此外，该概要文件还支持相关体系结构概念的建模，如国防部的条令、组织、培训材料、领导能力等；教育、人员和设施（DOTMLPF）以及同等的英国国防发展部（DLOD）要素。如图1.1所示，UPDM 2.1.1解决了DoDAF和MODAF视点，并支持对新架构（architecture）视点的扩展（例如，服务视图、自定义视图、后勤视图、成本视图等）。 ). MODAF术语已用于简化。

This International Standard provides a specification language, UPDM, that is readily understandable not only by the community of architects of information technology systems but also by a wide range of end users including executives and enterprise management that sponsor such systems, program managers that oversee their development, developers of supporting hardware and software (design, implementation, and testing), subject matter experts, and end users. UPDM bridges the gap from setting of requirements to high level system design and to visualization for practitioners. While designed in the context of military organizations and their procurement processes, UPDM can also be applied in entirely civilian industrial and service organization contexts. UPDM 2.1.1 supports the capability to:?model architectures for a broad range of complex systems, which may include hardware, software, data, personnel, and facility elements;?model consistent architectures for system-of-systems down to lower levels of design and implementation;?model service oriented architectures;?support the analysis, specification, design, and verification of complex systems; and?improve the ability to exchange architecture information among related tools that are UML based and tools that are based on other standards. The profile provides the modeling of operational capabilities, services, system activities, nodes, system functions, ports, protocols, interfaces, performance, and physical properties and units of measure. In addition, the profile enables the modeling of related architecture concepts such as DoD's doctrine, organization, training material, leadership & education, personnel, and facilities (DOTMLPF) and the equivalent UK Ministry of Defence Lines of Development (DLOD) elements. UPDM 2.1.1, as illustrated in Figure 1.1, addresses DoDAF and MODAF Viewpoints as well as enabling extensions to new architecture perspectives (e.g., Services views, Custom views, Logistics views cost views, etc.). MODAF terminology has been used for simplicity.
