The approach to achieving this is through unparalleled collaboration and bold innovation built around four key objectives: \n\nExpedite acquisition reform\nBuild a resilient industrial base\nDefine digital architectures for seamless integration\nFoster a new culture of innovation\n\nThis strategy identified the need for a Defence-level governance mechanism to support pan-domain delivery plans of the Royal Navy\, Army and Royal Airforce (incl Space). To support the strategy in the delivery of its vision the Defence UxS Design Authority (DUxDA) was established in Apr 24. \nWho are DUxDA and what do they do? – They sit within Strategic Command with pan-Defence responsibility\, core within these responsibilities is to… \n\nCohere\nCollaborate\nCo-ordination\n\nDUxDA provides improved co-ordination and coherence of MOD Uncrewed Systems activity to promote both value for money and improved Uncrewed capability across the entire Defence Enterprise (Air\, Ground\, On Water\, Under Water\, Space). \nAs a Design Authority it is a standalone\, integrated highly experienced team responsible for maintaining the integrity of programme objectives and alignment of solutions (designs) to programme level requirements through the effective implementation of collaborative assurance and guidance. The agile services structure can be adapted and tailored for any programme design and delivers the following within the Uncrewed area. \n\nStandalone Design Authority service or integrated within existing Teams\nFlexibility to advise at all levels architectural and design areas\nFull cross-function\, collaborative\, embedded transformation lifecycle design assurance\nOperates as a trusted advisor for and appropriate MOD programme\nHas ownership of Programme architecture (business\, processes\, applications\, technology\, data)\nTransformation and transition roadmap definition\, creation and delivery\nDeliver support across large-scale dynamic systems integration programmes\nDrive multiple improvement initiatives to de-risk the programme\nAbility to provide architecture and programme leadership and direction.\n\n The DUxDA industry engagement event activity asks?  – The DUxDA will present the progress made and outputs delivered since forming Apr 24 and detail the strategy and key delivery milestones for the Defence UxS portfolio for the next 12 months. Industry engagement\, feedback and support is critical to the successful delivery of the DUxDA strategy and key delivery milestones\, and this face-to-face event will be the first of a series of events being planned through FY25/26 ultimately aimed at creating a one team structure between Defence and Industry to deliver the future capability road maps across Defence. \nShould you get involved? – If your organisation is involved in the development and delivery of Uncrewed Systems to Defence you are encouraged to attend. \nWhy get involved? – Your contribution will enable you to understand the direction of travel from within Defence\, shape\, influence and assist MOD in its future direction for Uncrewed Systems. \nThere is also the opportunity to work as part of a team with equally capable and knowledgeable organisations within Defence and the wider Uncrewed Systems community. \nThis is an opening for wider industry experience and best practice to be showcased within the Defence environment. \nThis will enable: \n\nUnderstanding of how focus areas will interact to realise a future end state.\nArticulation of requirements for Uncrewed Systems capability across the enterprise.\nDevelopment of capability roadmaps\nAlignment\, pull through and learning from representative Uncrewed Systems capabilities.\nAssessment of potential system solutions and recommendations for future development.\n\nIf you would like to attend please complete the expression of interest form\, this will close on 11th March.
