Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) is leading software development activities to demonstrate the state of the art in the agile delivery of novel Automated Intelligence capability for operational consideration by capability managers.
This work will contribute to the DSTG Resilient Decision Highway (RDH) project and its Mission Adaptation for operational benefit. The RDH is an Australian Defence Force and FVEY partner (under the Grendel banner) driven state-of-the art platform for collaborative problem solving, superior situational awareness, and informed operational decision-making.
The RDH is a modular and agile technology ecosystem providing timely situational awareness to the intelligence analyst and warfighter regardless of mission domain. It has a focus on not just automation analytics but primarily on the agile transition and integration of novel analytic capability to analysts in a timely manner, unhindered by the operating classification or mission. Addressing the "How" as well as the "What".
The RDH is a large project that has been evolving since 2019 with multiple stakeholders across the defence enterprise. Due to the scope of the requirements, it is expected that multiple panel members will be engaged to undertake this statement of work. The RDH project is comprised of multiple teams, described below, that work closely together and with other DSTG teams to deliver outcomes.
It is expected that the successful vendors will work together across the LOE's, with measured exchange of resources between teams to enhance resiliency and productivity. The teams will work under limited guidance through an integrated team of Programme Managers provided by the successful tenders. Therefore, vendors are instructed that while they may apply to completely resource a LOE, they may also partially contribute to one or many LOE's.
Development will be conducted using an Agile methodology, and the expectation is that the OSP will regularly engage stakeholders to identify user requirements and prioritise development activities.
