Support Advantage Charter
In September 2021, at DSEI, Lieutenant General Richard Wardlaw, Chief of Defence Logistics & Support (CDLS), invited Industry to propose a MOD/Industry Support Charter to reinforce joint commitment to the Defence Support Strategy (DSS) and its vision of Support Advantage.
The Defence Suppliers Forum Delivery Continuity Executive working within Team Defence Information facilitated Industry engagement to produce the Support Advantage Charter. Under the Charter MOD and Industry agree to work together to improve:
-
Support Capability and resilience
-
Availability and readiness
-
Environmental sustainability
-
Exploitation of Support data and technology
-
Collaboration, interoperability, and integration
Equipment Support Modelling Guide Book Charter
Currently there is an overheated Defence equipment programme which could be up to £15 billion overcommitted. This over commitment provides a clear focus for MOD to determine how the Defence budget could be better managed or reduced. This includes equipment support cost which can be up to 70% of whole life cost[1]. This situation prompts a renewed emphasis on equipment support affordability and cost management. Modelling and analysis are a means to better understand support options, associated costs and risks. This guidebook, developed by Team Defence Information and MOD Subject Matter Experts, provides a overview of the different types of modelling and associated applications. It addresses modelling for supportability and support system design, deployment, operation, and withdrawal. This includes support operation, economic, and risk modelling. Although this guidebook has a defence connotation the modelling principles are applicable to any complex equipment and its associated support system.

TD-Info S-Series Discussion Paper V1.1
As identified in the paper introduction, it has been established to inform a debate about UK MOD Policy for the AIA/ASD Integrated Product Support (IPS) S-Series suite of international specifications.
The paper has been established for two primary reasons.
- To address a seeming stepping back by UK MOD representatives (at the Team Defence Information (TD-Info) IPS Community of Practice (CoP) meeting on 27th June 2024) from the position documented in the joint MOD and UK Defence industry Support Advantage Charter.
- To address an issue with guidance for the S-Series specification in Defence Standard 00-600 Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) Requirements for MOD Projects.
