Description

This Task is intended to be the primary means of delivering the "Experimentation" element of work on the "Digital Backbone Analysis and Experimentation" work that StratCom Defence Digital (DD) requires from Dstl. The Digital Strategy for Defence defines a Digital Backbone to be "A secure, singular, modern Digital Backbone ... connecting sensors, effectors and deciders across military and business domains and with partners, driving integration and interoperability across domains and platforms." It views the Digital Backbone (and all digital capability) through five lenses: people, processes, technology, data and cyber.

This work aims to:
• Define the Digital Backbone in ways that people (primarily Front-line Commands, Budget Holders, etc. in the first instance but also potential users, developers, etc.) can understand
• Find ways of attributing value to digital effect i.e. how can one assess the effectiveness of investing in digital capability in terms of, for example, faster decision-making, increased lethality, etc.
