172 CHAPTER SEVEN: REFORM OF DEFENCE 7.29 The Government will revise the current process for approving new projects to ensure a proportional approach is taken depending on the cost, schedule, technical complexity and overall risk of projects. Through these changes, Defence will be able to tailor the acquisition process to the capability being sought. This will give Defence more agility to acquire rapidly evolving technology and speed up less complex acquisitions. Efficient capability planning and procurement processes within Defence will ensure that the ADF has the capability it needs when it needs it, and the value for money Australia receives from its investment in Defence is maximised. 7.30 As highlighted in Chapter Four, the Government will ensure that Australian defence industry is considered as an early and core element of Defence’s capability. Decisions about defence capability will take proper account of Australian defence industry at all stages of the capability life cycle. SECTION THREE REFORM, RESOURCING & IMPLEMENTATION Corporate and military enablers 7.31 The Government’s investment in enablers, set out in this White Paper, such as information management and the Defence estate, including bases, wharves and runways, reflects how critical they are to the effective and efficient delivery of defence capability. Without these enablers Defence cannot generate the combat effects required to achieve the Strategic Defence Objectives. The First Principles Review will ensure that these enablers are fully integrated within a single Defence service delivery system. 7.32 Through the Integrated Investment Program accompanying this White Paper, the Government has clearly articulated its requirements of the Defence estate and facilities to support defence capability and the future force. We will invest the resources needed to ensure that the estate can support future ADF operations and capability. Estate rationalisation will continue to be considered on a case by case basis as part of the
The First Principles Review – The Government’s reform program 173 implementation of this White Paper and the First Principles Review. Any savings realised through the sale of Defence bases will be reinvested in Defence capability. 7.33 Under the accountability of the Associate Secretary, the Chief Information Officer is the single authority for all Defence-wide information networks, including their design and management. The Chief Information Officer will have a mandate to ensure warfighting and corporate information management projects comply with required standards. All proposals for new information systems are to be agreed with the Chief Information Officer. 7.34 Information management providing common situational awareness and information superiority is essential to our war fighters. It is becoming even more important with the growing information needs of new sophisticated capabilities like the Joint Strike Fighter. Within the framework and standards set by the Chief Information Officer, the Vice Chief of the Defence Force will oversee the implementation of an information system which will better meet the needs of the joint force, including providing enhanced command and control, communications, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance information. 7.35 Defence will establish more effective geospatial intelligence management with the Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation having central control of all geospatial functions within Defence. This will strengthen the collection, analysis and distribution of geospatial information across Defence. 7.36 Defence will further consolidate its other enabling corporate services such as finance, human resource management and administration to minimise duplication and strengthen service delivery.
