Presenter: Jeffrey W. Eggers, DISL, Air Force ISR Chief Architect
The Air Force has long used DoDAF to document solutions architectures at the systems level while using a completely separate and ever-changing variety of documents to plan our forces and their capabilities. With the advent of UAF, the Air Force is just beginning to use model-based systems engineering principles at a truly enterprise level to analyze and define the structure of our future forces and to build genuinely integrated plans for developing new capabilities. Challenges abound with educating service members on modern architecting approaches, nurturing the seedlings of current efforts, and unifying our efforts across organizations and priorities. This talk will cover the goals, challenges, and progress of Air Force enterprise architecting.
