Description

The Defence and Army is embracing a culture of innovation to realise efficiencies, but more importantly force optimisation. The Defence and Security Accelerator, JFC led jHUB and Army Research, Innovation and Experimentation Laboratory provide a rich landscape to exploit innovation. Additionally, issues raised by the Service Enquiry into the deaths of Reserve Special Forces selection and strategic views of how Army conducts software licensing all require support to innovation activities. IM innovation requires an expedient delivery of capability into service with adoption of a learn fast approach to concepts. To ensure we continue to leverage business benefits from our innovation activities requires a broadening of the SQEP and KSE within the Directorate; the ability to better bridge the industry and military use of technologies, solutions and services. To resource the direction on innovation and experimentation requires additional service support.
