Defense Knowledge and Public-Private Partnerships in a Digital and Data Era

Future Challenges for the Defense Industry in a Digital and Data Era

The world is experiencing rapid changes in digitization and the creation of data. In response, defense and the private defense industry are increasing their investment in data management to exploit new opportunities, provide more efficient services and increase the value they deliver to key stakeholders.

Defense holds many data assets across the enterprise, ranging from defense mission and operational data to policy and corporate enabling data. Improving data management will enhance our ability to be successful in an era of geostrategic competition. It will enable warfighters to capitalize on strategic and tactical opportunities currently unavailable in a fragmented data environment. Moreover, it will help us better understand our capacity and build a more resilient Defence enterprise.
