Defence Information Infrastructure
VEGA is supporting the UK MOD in the development of a single
secure and coherent information infrastructure, the Defence
Information Infrastructure (Future) (DII (F)).
Challenge
The challenge ahead of the UK MOD is to
replace individual systems throughout the Defence area with a
single, secure and coherent information infrastructure that will
enable the sharing of information and collaborative working across
the whole of Defence. The new infrastructure, known as Defence
Information Infrastructure (Future) (DII (F)) is one of the largest
information infrastructure programmes in Europe. DII (F) will
provide the capability to exchange and share electronic information
from foxhole to stores depot and from sensor to shooter. The scope
of DII (F) embraces all fixed sites within the UK and abroad,
Maritime Platforms and Deployed HQs, and will support a predicted
300,000 users in over 2,000 locations world-wide.
How VEGA is helping
Since March 2003, VEGA has been providing the
DII Integrated Project Team (IPT) with a project office support
capability to help develop, integrate and implement the DII (F)
programme.
VEGA’s team, consisting of itself and
partners, is delivering services that include:
- Project Management
- Project Office Support
- Technology Assessment
- Bid Evaluation
- Applications Integration
- Migration Planning
- Implementation Management
- Security Accreditation
- Through Life Management Planning
- ILS Strategy development

Value being delivered
Via the ICS Catalogue, the MOD can
request specific packages of work, thus ensuring true flexibility
and best return on investment. The knowledge derived from providing
many thousands of man-hours in day-to-day input across the full
range of the DII programme enables VEGA to provide for a range of
MOD customers and estates moving onto the infrastructure.
