Mr Clive Lines – FAS ICT Reform

A short reminder

We have a diverse ICT environment

• Our environment has grown over many years to be a very complex

mixture of technologies, often we have said we have one of everything.

• There are many networks in operation, the main ones being DRN and

DSN, but there are numerous others with various levels of connectivity.

• There are a few different desktop SOE’s and duplication of functions in a

very large application portfolio.

• We did not have an overall plan for the future until the first Defence ICT

strategy in 2009.


The work CIOG is doing

right now is foundational

We are preparing and implementing the bottom four layers of the Single Information Environment.

This work is about creating the enterprise class infrastructure that will allow Defence to rapidly modernise.


• TC has entered an important down-select phase with parallel negotiations with our two remaining bidders (Telstra and Optus)

• Defence has contracted an overseas telecommunications specialist to assist the CTO’s team in assuring the technical viability of the solution offering, given the importance of our network to Defence’s operations.

• We expect to enter into a contract in the second half of 2012, then pursue an aggressive rollout and network transformation program across all Defence sites.

– The full transformation is scheduled to be completed during the first half of the 2015 calendar year.

• TC transformed network will provide significant capability enhancement to the Defence environment including:

– bandwidth surge capacity at most sites,

– video conferencing to DNS users around the country,

– IP voice capability and unified communication and

– more stable, reliable and efficient voice and data networks.

Terrestrial Communications

Bundle (TC) - Status


HAIGS

• Providing secure, robust and reliable access to the Defence internet gateway and delivering a five-fold increase in throughput.

• Through HAIGS, Defence provides Internet Gateway services to nine other Commonwealth agencies as part of the Government’s Internet Gateway Reduction Program.

SCMP-L

• Deliver an integrated system of systems D-WAN, ranging from Defence Terrestrial Communications Network (DTCN) interfaces to deployable devices that are sufficiently scalable and configurable to suit ADF operational deployment.

• Investing in digital INMARSAT technology to replace analogue systems

HAIGS & SCMP-L


• CP has shortlisted from an initial market invitation to register (ITR) the four companies we will be progressing with through RFT design, response and evaluation. These companies are CSC, HP, IBM, and Lockheed Martin.

• CP will change the way Defence uses IT infrastructure services. Through CP, we will develop more usable, scaleable, repeatable and resilient IT capability.

• CP will transform the location landscape for IT in Defence. Currently much of the infrastructure environment is distributed and CP will look to centralise and standardise to deliver IT capability quickly and effectively in support of the application environment and, ultimately, Defence users.

• Infrastructure will be provided “as a service” in the future IT service provision model under CP. We will be able to provision capacity and even some platform service on demand. To ensure vendors don’t lose sight of our service expectation we will build smart commercial models that support and create incentives for this way of working in the future.

• CP is scheduled to go to RFT by mid 2012 and enter into a contract mid 2013

Migration (DCM)


• Some of the objectives of the Information Management Project are:

– Achieve the right information being available to the right person at the right time to support the conduct of Defence business.

– Achieve legislative compliance.

– Achieve resource efficiencies by being able to search for and locate the right information quickly and easily.

• The IM Project commenced in 2010

• The IM Strategic Framework (IMSF) was agreed in September 2010

• Key IM objectives are progressively implemented in the context of the (IMSF)

• We are continuing to rollout Objective across Defence.

• We have implemented Collaboration as a Service (CaaS) for whole of defence on DRN and are now working with parties on the DSN for similar goals

• We continue to examine how best in a budget sensitive time to move ahead on our business intelligence approaches.

a number of linked IT Platforms

that form a ‘backbone’ across

the restricted and secret

domains

The Service Oriented

Architecture (SOA) Programme


• DOSD provides capability to exchange information between the internet and the DRN

• DeBI provides capability to exchange information between DRN systems

– Both DOSD and DeBI are increasing customers and capability i.e. PSAMS, eVetting

• SDOSD will provide capability to exchange information between the DSN and external secret networks – planning commencing this FY

• SDeBI is central IT Platform provides capability to exchange of information between DSN systems

– v1 of platform delivered to support JP2030 Ph8 Evo2 releases going live 2013

The SOA Backbone


Intelligence Surveillance &

Reconnaissance (ISR)


• Many of the capabilities are now in place or in states of transition into

service for Operations division.

• We have created the momentum that is irreversible on a planned SIE

and, in particular, created the bottom four layers as enterprise class

service offerings to enable all Defence ICT.

• We are working through the next phase of our strategy with the AMSPA

providers on delivery of the next suite of applications and technology.

• Making progress on next generation ERP in the HR and Finance

domains.

At the end of 2012…


Apps Stores

• We envision faster access and development of applications for Defence

members that can be made accessible on their preferred devices.

• We will work later this calendar year to start some effort on development

of some of the capabilities necessary to exploit this approach.

• We remain focussed on managing the security of the end user and the

application data and are already exploring technology approaches that

can meet our security context.

• Our application virtualisation approach is one of the enabling

approaches to this and working with operating system manufacturer’s

for accredited devices.

Further Aspirations


Army Tablet Trial - Objectives and Outcomes

FORCOMD is leading a CIOG/Army ‘joint trial’ of tablet technology in support of the training environment, using 80 Apple iPads and 80 Samsung Galaxy tablets.

Objectives:

(Phase 1) Determine the utility of tablets within the training environment as an aid to the instructor/assessor. The instructor/assessor is the key to the success.

(Phase 2) Involvement of trainees

Mobile assessment at identified trial sites will seek to answer:

– Do tablets save the assessor time and allow them to conduct their business in an effective and efficient manner?

– Does the use of tablets in the training environment ‘help’ or ‘hinder’ the assessor in the conduct of assessment?

– Is the use of tablets within the current Defence ICT environment fully supportable and feasible?
