Information Superiority
The 21st century's saturated application of technology, and the
resultant explosion and sharing of information, makes managing that
data a vital yet complex task. This, coupled with the UK's widening
military responsibilities – both domestically and
abroad – means information superiorty was at the heart
of the Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) published in
October 2010.
The review is a thorough evaluation of the UK's defence
activities, and the role that the exploitation of information has
to play in providing more for less, enhancing front line
capability, and acting as a force multiplier, is a central
theme.
However, the operational benefits of information superiority can
only be realised when requirements and performance are properly
understood and managed, and when the integrity of the data being
shared can be assured. The challenge this presents, when
considering the complexity of System of Systems' interactions
operating predominantly within multi-agency or international
coalitions, is immense.
VEGA has a rich heritage of working in partnership with
Government, the military and industry to deliver information
superiority capability. We offer a range of skills and services
that ensure the successful definition, security, procurement, and
through-life management of information superiority capability. For
those making capability investment decisions, we provide the
clarity and confidence to choose information solutions that
represent value-for-money and deliver maximum operational
effectiveness.
This section of our website constitutes both VEGA’s latest
thinking and related activities in support of the Information
Superiority.
