1 ICT STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2016-20202 Message from the Chief information Officer (CIO) defence is modernising its information and Communications technology (ICT) to drive operational superiority for the Australian defence Force (ADF) and improve effectiveness and efficiency across the defence contribution ICT makes to defence is becoming increasingly critical ICT helps to offset the relatively small size of the ADF and enables a war fighting advantage. We are undertaking an information transformation, and in partnership with the Services and Groups, we are introducing significant new capabilities and new ways of working. This transformation will take us from an infrastructure-centric approach to ICT, to an information -centric approach. Through this transformation we will deliver more effective and responsive ICT to the Australian defence Organisation to enable defence outcomes.

2 defence has made progress since the 2009 ICT Strategy, in particular through improvements to our core ICT infrastructure. The 2009 ICT strategy now needs updating to reflect the increased demands across defence , the focus on information , the evolving technology landscape, and changes in the way ICT services are delivered to play our part in delivering One defence reforms, and the 2016 defence White Paper. My priorities as CIO are to: Protect and secure defence information and theinformation environment, and provide Defencewith accurate information for decision-makingand military interoperability through reliableenterprise-wide information management; Develop and implement a road map tostandardise business processes, informationand their supporting applications to improveDefence effectiveness and efficiency; Manage and deliver reliable ICT services acrossfixed, deployed, and mobile environments thatprovide defence an operational advantageand enables integrated joint and combinedoperations with global partners.

3 And, Secure and manage defence ICT capabilities,workforce, and resources for the focusing on these key areas, we will drive significant improvements in the way defence ICT supports the defence enterprise, and the ADF, to deliver value to the taxpayer, and advantage for defence in fulfilling the mission set for it by Government.

The Vision and Mission for defence ICT have shaped our STRATEGIC Priorities, and Implementation Approach. Lead Enterprise information Management reform to ensure single source oftruth and enable information management.

5 Implement contemporary cyber security capabilities to protect the flow ofinformation from threats. Enable access to an increased quantity and quality of information fromgreater numbers of fixed and mobile devices, operating at home and abroadwithin the protection of the secure single information environment. Deliver a single, modern ICT environment with simplified applications andservices that is interoperable across defence and with other governmentagencies, allies and partners. Roll out a service delivery reform model, which meets One Defenceobjectives of accountability, streamlining, and standardisation. Strengthen ICT governance and decision making to support the DefenceIntegrated Investment Program. Implement new ways of working to deliver faster, more functional and costeffective ICT capabilities and services to support business and militaryoperations.

6 Increased investment funding through the defence Integrated Investment Program (DIIP) toimprove and remediate defence ICT. Whole-of- defence implementation (capability and enterprise led) required throughappropriate governance arrangements to deliver on our strategy, in accord with theCapability Lifecycle process. Development of an ICT STRATEGIC Planning Management Office that coordinateswhole-of- defence ICT and informs decision making. Business-led adoption of standardised solutions, and exploration of the potential of newtechnologies, in support of the Groups and Services in achieving capability outcomes. Ensuring the transition from an infrastructure focus to an information focus considerssecurity, reliability and interoperability. A workforce strategy to address the development of an appropriately skilled workforce toachieve STRATEGIC outcomes, including improved approaches to diversity and inclusion toattract staff from a wider demography.

7 Implement stronger and more STRATEGIC partnership with industry to ensure the realisation ofthe STRATEGIC plan. Consider innovation in accordance with defence Industry Policy Statement (Innovation Hub). defence ICT VisionA modern, secure, sustainable and scalable information environment to enable current and future military and business ICT MissionDelivering ICT capabilities for defence by: Working with stakeholders to shape business requirements and understand priorities; Partnering with industry to deliver outcomes; and Building the ICT organisation to shape and direct the future STRATEGIC PrioritiesImplementation ApproachDefence Priorities 01 ICT STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2016-20206 information is critical for joint operations, and in the 21st century battlespace defence operations in the 21st century, and particularly joint operations, are complex and highly reliant upon ICT.

8 Increasingly, the focus is on ensuring information management provides situational awareness and information superiority essential to our war fighters. We must capitalise on this opportunity to reform the way we think about information and support defence in achieving its operational and STRATEGIC imperatives.. information will pervade the 2030 operating environment. However, understanding , and therefore knowledge, will be much less evenly distributed. The ability to create a shared awareness and understanding across the joint force as well as within defence s military and civilian partners will underpin operational success. The 2016 defence White Paper states: The Government will make a significant new investment in information management capabilities to ensure that the right information is available to defence decision makers, at the right time.

9 These investments will ensure that our armed forces are able to respond quickly to emerging threats, as well as ensuring defence s business processes become more effective and efficient. The battlespace of the 21st century is more complex than ever. Today, the domains of space and cyberspace are increasingly important for the successful execution of tasks set by Government for delivery by defence . The protection of satellites and telecommunications networks are now critically important challenges. The Future Joint Operating Concept 2030 states: Technical networks (integrated communication and information systems) offer to extend the joint force s interoperability with a wide range of other organisations, formal and informal, providing access to the resources and expertise needed to address complex security defence Priorities1 ICT STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2016-20207 The First Principles Review provides DIRECTION for ICT and for information managementThe First Principles Review provides clear DIRECTION for an effective Enterprise information Management (EIM) capability that delivers a warfighting advantage.

10 The efforts underway to stabilise our ICT core will provide the platform that will drive an information centric enterprise. information management is a critical enabler for One defence . In the military environment, information management must provide the war fighter with common battlespace awareness and information superiority through integrated and interoperable information . It underpins the next generation of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4 ISR) systems, and links sensors and weapons platforms. It is crucial to offset the relatively small size of the Australian defence Force and enable a competitive war fighting advantage over Australia s the corporate arena, information management must enable the organisation to make informed decisions, measure performance, provide timely, credible, traceable and relevant management information , and support enterprise-wide business processes.
