Defense Program
Providing mission-critical MBSE for US defence acquisition, and providing the authoritative digital engineering leadership required to navigate DoD 5000.97, UAF, and MOSA standards within classified TS/SCI environments.
DoD Instruction 5000.97 mandates an authoritative digital source of truth, replacing siloed documents with connected models. Standards like GCIA and NAVWAR are current contractual obligations, not future goals. Enola establishes the model-based infrastructure needed to unify your technical baseline and ensure OUSD(R&E) compliance from Day 1.
MBSE maturity can now decide contract awards, and in the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) programme, digital engineering capability was a core evaluation metric. Because building an internal practice takes years, Enola provides turnkey expertise to bypass the learning curve, embedding with primes to secure high-stakes contracts and pass rigorous government audits.

Inside Knowledge
Direct Experience Inside Defense Programs
David Fields
Chief Technology Officer, Enola Technologies
15 years in US defence digital engineering leadership, including NAVAIR and DoD programme implementation.
Built and led digital engineering implementation for the MQ-25 Stingray programme and contributed to OUSD(R&E) Digital Engineering Strategy initiatives. Experience includes DoDAF architecture, Naval Integrated Model Environment (IME), and live programme delivery in classified environments.
Enola’s defence capability is informed by direct programme-side experience in acquisition, contracting, audit requirements, and practical MBSE delivery — not advisory work conducted externally.
STANDARDS
The Defense Standards Landscape
Enola's team has contributed to the OUSD(R&E) working groups that shape how this standard is applied at programme level. Consulting engagements are structured around the Digital Engineering Strategy framework.
Program architecture aligned to GCIA requirements for ground combat system interoperability and open systems architecture
Architecture and DE strategy support for Naval Information Warfare Systems Command programmes
DoDAF (Department of Defense Architecture Framework) views, UPDM (Unified Profile for DoDAF and MoDAF - the UK Ministry of Defence framework) for simultaneous compliance, and UAF v1.2 enterprise architecture - all produced natively within CATIA Magic
Modular open architecture implementation aligned to US Army and DoD acquisition policy. Enola's CTO led the Digital Engineering effort for the US Army FLRAA programme with direct MOSA delivery experience
"Enola's defence capability is built on direct experience inside the US defense acquisition system - program offices, contracting environments, and live MBSE delivery - not advisory work conducted from outside it."
