1 Acquisition Principles to Enable the UK NEC Vision Dave Pooley Deputy Team Leader UK TDL IPT Tel: (44) TDL - IPT - the Centre of Excellence for the Acquisition of Tactical Data Link Systems 1

2 Objectives Near to Medium Term UK TDL Platforms Overview of UK Acquisition Process CADMID DLoDs Meeting the Customers Longer Term Vision Effects on MoD & Industry

3 Joint Data Network Roadmap

4 UK Programme New platforms delivered with TDL capability Broadening of L16 fit and its integration more fully into platform combat systems. Beyond Line Of Sight (BLOS) / Link 22 Variable Message Format Multiple Tactical Data Link Management Capability TDL Network Backbone incl Gateways & Data Forwarders

8 UK Acquisition Cycle Initial Gate C A D M I D Main Gate Concept Assessment Demonstration Manufacture In Service Support Disposal

9 Assessment Phase Objective: Down select to a single technological option and reduce risk to an acceptable level for Main Gate Stage Constraints: Expenditure shall not exceed the limits set at Initial Gate approval without resubmission for a change to those limits. C A D M I D OUTPUTS for MAIN GATE: Procurement Strategy, Combined Operational Effectiveness & Investment Assessment (COIEA), Customer Supplier Agreement, User Requirement & outline Systems Requirement Documents, Integrated Test Evaluation and Acceptance Plan, Through Life Management Plan with Whole Life Cost Plan, Support Strategy, Disposal Strategy, Technology / System Readiness Demonstrations, Performance, Time & Cost Risk assessments with 3 Point Estimates, Safety & Security Plans TECHNICAL PROCESS PROJECT ENTERPRISE

10 Capability Acceptance Looks across all Defence Lines Of Development (DLoD) Concepts / Doctrine Equipment Infrastructures Personnel Logistics Training Information Organization Helps define stakeholder accountability, authority & responsibility Looks across multiple capabilities not one equipment Encourages Through Life Management Needs clear Baseline & / or Open Standards for all aspects not just Equipment

11 Overarching DLoD Theme Ability of UK forces to operate Effectively together With forces of partner nations when appropriate With other Government Departments, including compatibility with Civil Regulations to train, exercise and operate together in the execution of assigned missions and tasks
