The Defence Data Strategy 2.0 builds on the foundations laid by Defence’s first data strategy, released in 2021, and responds to the direction set by the Government through the 2024 National Defence Strategy and Integrated Investment Program.
The Defence Data Strategy 2.0 continues Defence’s journey to improve the treatment of data as a strategic asset. It sets the vision that Defence will be a data centric organisation that uses data to enhance preparedness, optimise service delivery and realise decision advantage.
Decision advantage is the ability to make better decisions, faster than any potential adversary, and it is one of the 6 key capability effects identified in the 2024 National Defence Strategy.
