Providing the specialist expertise necessary to enable the successful delivery of the I-DLOD. SROs remain responsible for delivering and meeting their programme/project mandate and responsibilities; including that of the I-DLOD, the objective is that Navy Digital will provide I-DLOD expertise ‘as-a-service’ to them. In addition, Navy Digital must be able support I-DLOD across in-service capabilities and engage early with new and emerging programmes/projects in the initial concept phase. Delivering the I-DLOD across the principal elements of Information Architecture, Information Assurance, Information Management, Reference Information, Information Exploitation has a strong dependency on the in-service needs articulated in the relevant capability concept of employment. Key to delivering the I-DLOD is analysis of the operational requirements including bandwidth dependencies, interoperability requirements, C5 equipment scaling, information security, reference, and operational data requirements, all of which must be captured, including the development the Information Exchange Requirement (IER). This requires a fully co-ordinated relationships with the Equipment – DLOD (E-DLOD) and in respect of Information Exploitation a co-ordinated approach and understanding of the concept of operation and intended operational outcomes that are to be achieved. Where the supplied staff will work South East England Who the organisation using the products or services is Ministry of Defence - Navy Command Why the work is being done Navy Digital needs to be able to sustain and deliver its I-DLOD Functional Leadership role. To achieve this, integrated I-DLOD expertise must be available to the Navy Digital Portfolio Management team and Technical Assurance Authority. In the Functional Leadership role Navy Digital must be able to assure the I-DLOD aspects of all programmes and projects, their supporting Submissions, Business Cases and Approvals. Going forward, this will ensure that when programmes go to the Navy Investment Decision Panel (NIDP), the I-DLOD is fully embedded. This assurance and I-DLOD governance activity is necessary so that the feasibility of information, digital and C5 aspects of programmes and projects are correctly considered and cost, resource and technical implications captured within the approval. This is to ensure that the I-DLOD is an assured capability element within any future NIDP approval.
