Team Defence – Vision 2030 Building a Resilient Digital Future for UK Government White paper
The paper advocates a coordinated, cross-government model for delivering a national digital infrastructure, driven by the recognition that no single department has sufficient skilled personnel or financial resources to build a next-generation Government Digital Backbone independently. It argues that a unified strategic framework—bringing together departmental digital leaders, shared capabilities, and centrally aligned budgets—will mitigate skills shortages, avoid fragmented investment, and promote interoperability. By integrating people, processes, information, and technology under central oversight, the proposed approach aims to create an efficient, scalable, and affordable digital foundation capable of enabling advanced digital services and realising the full benefits of AI across government.

Equipment Support Modelling Guide Book Charter
Currently there is an overheated Defence equipment programme which could be up to £15 billion overcommitted. This over commitment provides a clear focus for MOD to determine how the Defence budget could be better managed or reduced. This includes equipment support cost which can be up to 70% of whole life cost[1]. This situation prompts a renewed emphasis on equipment support affordability and cost management. Modelling and analysis are a means to better understand support options, associated costs and risks. This guidebook, developed by Team Defence Information and MOD Subject Matter Experts, provides a overview of the different types of modelling and associated applications. It addresses modelling for supportability and support system design, deployment, operation, and withdrawal. This includes support operation, economic, and risk modelling. Although this guidebook has a defence connotation the modelling principles are applicable to any complex equipment and its associated support system.
