Multi-Domain Integration insights report
While most senior leaders in defence agree to the general importance of Digital Asset Management (DAM), those at the coal face see it as much more of a priority. This discrepancy is likely because defence in theory and defence in practice are sometimes two different things, albeit with the same overarching goals.
In the present day, being mission ready – or ‘operational readiness’ – relies on access to clear, accurate and timely information deriving from advanced technologies that are interoperable, connected across the entire ecosystem and, critically, managed effectively.
The key currency is information, derived from data. Without access to the full spectrum of desired information, it is difficult to make effective decisions and thus quantify the operational risk.Andy Linton, Head of Future Maritime Aviation Force at BAE Systems – Air
It should come as no surprise that 60% of frontline senior defence leaders believe using data to improve operational readiness is the most important area of defence technology exploitation. However, only 48% of those based in an office feel the same way.
So, is it time to re-think the prioritisation around Digital Asset Management in Defence? And what role does it play in Multi-Domain Integration?
