How we work in the Foundry

Defence Digital Foundry is changing the way software and digital services are delivered in Defence, so that we can:

  • keep pace with allies and adversaries
  • create secure services that work well for all users
  • reduce duplication, cost and effort

The Foundry is part of Defence Digital.

Deliver at pace and scale

The Foundry works across Defence, with partners, suppliers and allies. Tap into our experience to help you deliver interoperability - making sure your service works with other systems.

With access to accredited platforms and tools, you can deliver secure services faster. Using common and supported platforms makes it easier to scale successfully.

Make the most of Defence data

Working with the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and other areas of Defence, we’re finding new ways to exploit Defence data.

Start using Defence tools to access, analyse and present data. Use existing APIs, dashboards and libraries to innovate faster.

Reuse the good stuff

With a view across Defence and industry, we identify or build things that you can reuse. From hosting your service in MODCloud to using the MOD.UK Design System, you’ll save effort, time and taxpayers’ money.

We can also help you use existing software licences and tools.

Meet Defence standards

Use Foundry services to make sure you're doing the right thing in Defence. For example, you should manage cyber security risk through Secure by Design.

You can also check guidance in the Defence Service Manual.
