Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) has developed a Single Information Environment (SInfoE) architecture designed to streamline the sharing of data across UK defence systems. The project, launched by Dstl’s Cyber and Information Systems team in 2018, produced a set of MOD‑owned software components that enable rapid search, discovery and access to information from sources such as radar, satellites, aircraft, warships, drones, air‑defence systems and ground troops. In 2021 the architecture attracted the attention of the Defence Equipment and Support programme Multi‑Domain Integrated Systems (MDIS). A month‑long trial called ARCHERON in July 2024 integrated Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force systems with industry drones, demonstrating the SInfoE’s ability to share critical operational data quickly. Dstl senior consultant Amanda highlighted that the system allows any platform to connect, while programme manager Richard said it could cut integration time to hours or days and save millions of pounds.
