VEGA Delivers Enterprise Architecture Services to Support FCN

VEGA, a Finmeccanica company, has won a contract to provide Enterprise Architecture services to the UK Ministry of Defence's (MOD) Future Core Network (FCN) programme.

The FCN programme team is responsible for managing the procurement options and technological requirements to ensure that FCN successfully replaces the capability of the four separate communication networks – DFTS, DII, DHFCS and Skynet 5 – as their respective contracts draw close to renewal between 2012 and 2020. The new six-month project builds upon an initial study VEGA won in March 2007, to identify and review the risks and issues surrounding the proposed acquisition process and the future technological requirement.

VEGA will apply its Enterprise Architecture services and Architectural Framework Modelling expertise to enable the FCN IPT to make informed decisions as how best to deliver continuity of service without any loss of capability, as the transformation programme is rolled out.

The project's technical boundary scope was developed in conjunction with the Systems Engineering and Integration Group (SEIG), through the use of the Integration Services Support Environment (ISSE) drawing upon architecture models held in the Ministry of Defence Architecture Repository (MODAR).
