Section 2: Brief Overview of Requirement

Air Command has an ongoing requirement to ensure that Evidence Based Decision Making (EBDM) leads their thinking and directs future capability identification and subsequent exploitation. To achieve this, analysis of the current digital landscape and identification of opportunities and current issues is needed.

The RCO Air Information Experimentation (AIX) Division is tasked with analysing technology trends, emerging capabilities, and providing information-based understanding through demonstration, experimentation, Data Science, Analytical studies, and technology investigation.

To support existing projects and facilitate both information experimentation and the development of digital solutions, the AIX built and developed its own secure and accredited Collaborative Analysis Platform (CAP), Official Sensitive (CAP-A) and Secret (CAP-C) clouds for use as development environments. The upkeep and maintenance of these are paramount to MOD business needs. This upkeep also involves the facilities and amenities currently found at Farnborough Cody Technology Park where the RCO groups are located at.
