Framework for Secure Collaboration
Across US/UK Defense
During the last decade, industry consolidation, acquisition reform,
strategic sourcing, global design and production, and international
program management offices have changed the nature of the defense
business. Changes in the defense industry reinforce the need to
collaborate and to accelerate information sharing.
As a result, The United States and the United Kingdom have teamed
to create the US/UK Generic DMZ Architecture program. The purpose
is to identify requirements and policy issues to develop an architecture
that enables geographically dispersed business partners to securely
collaborate with one another on shared defense projects. A number
of public and private institutions support the program.
The goal of the project is to develop a common framework and a
flexible, secure, collaborative environmental design that includes
common policies, procedures and mechanism for policy areas.
AFEI is pleased to provide the following documents produced by this collaborative international program.
