Disruptive Technologies for Defence Transformation
Abstract
Defence agencies worldwide are adopting automation, cloud, artificial intelligence, and data analytics to form the IT backbone of their modernisation initiatives across weapon systems, personnel, and strategy. However, agencies are over-allocating resources towards maintaining and trying to modernise their existing legacy infrastructure. This is failing to seize the opportunity facing them. Complex and inflexible legacy software needs to be replaced to unify siloed data and exploit the efficiencies innovative technology like automation with low-code can offer. Looking specifically at the U.S. Department of Defence, its agencies are transforming their IT environment with flexible and rapid next generation low-code technologies that increase efficiencies and build agile, adaptive platforms that can rapidly adjust to changing requirements at low cost. This frees internal processes to be routinely optimised for performance, rather than being compromised and restricted by inflexible hosting technology. Mind-sets and expectations need to change.
