Guidance from the Department of Defense indicates that UPDM 1.1- based architectures are allowed to be submitted to the DoD in place of DoDAF 2.0 architectures, until a variety of UPDM 2.0 tools become available. Documentation around UPDM has been enhanced with a variety of content on the Rational Rhapsody wiki, detailed below. You can access them from the links at the bottom of this topic.
