“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
Sun Tzu, The Art of War, 6th century BC

Dear Customers and Partners,
All military leaders I meet say they need better and smarter information for innovative strategies to help them prevail in our volatile, uncertain, and dangerous world. The battlefield is transforming: friend and foe are hard to distinguish, digital warfare against companies and countries is emerging, digital reconnaissance delivers fast but ambiguous information, digitally controlled autonomous platforms will dominate the future battlefield. How can digitization help this?
SAP did not invent network-centric warfare principles, but we have been part of their evolution since the early ‘90s. Today, strategic, tactical, and operational agility are the key objectives of digital warfare.
While the risk, complexity, and diversity of military missions grow, many defense budgets are shrinking, so we have good reason to take a step back and assess the opportunities the digital world offers to increase agility, intelligence, and operational effectiveness and efficiency. But how to bring this together?
At the center of SAP’s solution strategy is the digital core. This is connected in real time to suppliers, operators, facilities, aircrafts, vehicles, and vessels and even the sensors and devices of your operators. The connectivity afforded by a single set of transactional and analytical data eliminates ambiguity and provides a clear, up-to-date view of the reality for better situational analysis and decisive action.
This platform minimizes your cyber attack surface, standardizes security practices, and protects you and the information it processes. It’s a resilient platform that can operate in austere and limited communication environments.
I also understand that people continue to be the heart of all military efforts. It is the uniformed personnel and their family members, the civilian labor, and the embedded contingent workforce who need and operate digital technology. Digital innovation must serve them and enable the forces to cooperate and multiply their strengths.
I firmly believe that our SAP technology enables innovative forces to reimagine the operating concepts, procedures, and how operators and support entities work together for optimal outcomes.
This white paper outlines digital technology trends, shares our vision of defense organizations harnessing the power of data and digital insight, and shows how the SAP platform inspires innovative practices throughout your organization.
Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to your feedback.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Big picture: Digital defense is real and it’s here to stay
Digital Defense
Technology trends Five technology trends have converged into the digital economy – hyperconnectivity, supercomputing, cloud computing, a smarter world based on outcomes and cyber-security. The resulting pace of change is staggering. Defense is no exception, and leaders in defense are moving to an era of the connected service personnel or operator, where leading-edge technology can keep them informed and protected. It can also improve areas critical to defense mission success – safety, efficiency, effectiveness, security – do more with less.1, 2
Innovation is emerging from everywhere and anyoneYour adversaries have mastered the use of social media and the element of surprise to their advantage. They use and adapt to the latest off-the-shelf technology for communication, transportation, etc. in their daily operation.3,4
Aware but unsureLeaders know the world has changed. Research shows 90% of CEOs believe the digital economy will have a major impact on their industry, but less than 15% are funding and executing on the plan.5
It’s about the operatorOperators expect a new type of experience: one that is frictionless, where interoperability is seamless, and where technology is invisible. Military leaders want to minimize human casualties and maximize situational awareness.1
Disruptive digital business models. The
rules have changed. The defense digital network is becoming more collaborative and cooperative.
• Innovators are achieving agility The NATO Smart Defence initiative is a cooperative way of thinking about generating the modern defense capabilities that the Alliance needs for the future.6
• Small wonder can lighten the operator’s load Nanotechnologies and smart fabrics are helping the UK Armed Forces to reduce equipment weight and improve operational efficiency. 7
• Platforms (R)evolutionPlatform-based organizations are capturing more of digital’s opportunities for strong mission execution. 1
WHAT DOES THIS TELL US?
The road map to digital relevance entails reimagining operating concepts and proactively evolving before the adversary does. Every defense organization within this digital network is now a technology organization, and only by partnering will true joint operations be possible.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Digital defense networks
A digital defense network would represent the digital nerve system of the next-generation defense infrastructure, bringing together the disparate worlds of battle management and resource management.
Transformation drivers
The industry value chain is not only blurring, but also transforming at breakneck speed. Four categories of transformation drivers are forcing changes in the value chain:• Situational: Extended life programs for fielded
weapon systems, changes to military procurement, and the significant increase in cyber threats and high-tech terrorism have all changed countries’ military posture
• Transformational: The (NATO) lead nation concept and pressure to privatize non-core business will lead to the adoption of digital solutions at the edge
• Technological: Increase in robotics, nanotechnologies, 3D printing, and the expansion of military-relevant Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) will lead to growing standardization
• Digital: Digital information within the digital defense network will leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) and its ubiquitous connectivity
Collectively, they are transformative, creating the most complex global security environment we’ve ever seen.
81%of executives surveyed believe simplification is important for their organization, and 88% admit IT investment is important to achieve simplification.8
36enterprise apps per billion dollars in revenue for the average company. This is driving most of the technical complexity8
Leadership for digital transformation
Leaders increasingly require a broader range of styles to match the breadth of challenges posed by both a complex and ambiguous world – digital transformation addresses this complexity and ambiguity. It is no longer enough to command or be an excellent communicator. While those styles have encouraged innovation, leaders in the digital age need to be more empowering and enabling in order to tap into the innovative skills of their operators. They need to be both orchestrators of networks and willing to drive rapid scaling and innovation that reimagining their operating concepts will lead to.
But there is no one correct, pure leadership style. Leaders in the digital age must ultimately be explorative and exploitative, transformative yet transactional.
Leadership framework for transformation
Digital leaders will understand that transformation is inevitable, and that, while tremendously fast, will also be uncertain in execution. They will share a vision of the digital future of their organization and will have a defined digital strategy to achieve this. Digital transformation is how this technology will fulfill its potential, and it will require leaders to recreate the way their institutions operate in a world of digital ubiquity. New leadership behaviors will be key to creating vision, strategy, and plan. One example is the digital board room, enabling collaborative leadership in action, in the digital age.

REIMAGINING
Do you have the right strategy? Start by reimagining your processes with desired outcomes and the operators at the center.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
PLATFORM
Do you have the right platform?
In order to achieve the reimagined vision for your defense organization, you need to have the right platform in place. Leaders are investing in digital capabilities that are congruent with their strategy. The right technologies ensure agility and a rich environment for innovation. In addition, the platform should align to desired outcomes.
SAP’s digital business framework is based on the five key pillars of a digital plan and architecture:1. Operator experience across all channels2. Supplier collaboration across all spend categories
(product, services, and T&E)3. Core business processes (force generation, force
deployment, military supply chain, maintenance and engineering, budget and finance, …)
4. Personnel engagement, including military and civilian employees and contractors
5. Assets and the Internet of Things to drive real-time situational awareness and optimize asset and human physical performance
ROI drives this significant phase of the transition to digital. It’s not about any one of the five pillars, but rather how they all interconnect to achieve the desired outcomes.
We leverage Design Thinking as a our key approach to the reimagining phase. Design Thinking can be described as a discipline that uses the designer’s sensibility and methods to match needs with what is technologically feasible and what a viable strategy can convert into operator value.

Connecting the world with roads, shipping routes, railways, and airports was a key enabler to the movement of goods and knowledge during the industrial age. In digital defense, we are witnessing an explosion in connections at the individual and machine level. This exponential hyperconnectivity is driving new channels to engage people and organizations in new ways to optimize resources and make the world a better place.
Hyperconnectivity in the digital defense network will impact across four dimensions:
1. PeopleToday, over 3.4 billion people are connected to the Internet, and growing at a global average of 9% per year9 bringing knowledge to the edge, extending further the reach of information sharing, and collaboration.
2. OrganizationsFor years, NATO standards have enabled inter-organizational operability. 10 We are witnessing the emergence of the “network of networks,” enabling digitization by connecting the digital defense network with its members across all service categories at new levels of efficiency and in real time.
3. Communities of interestMillions of people are leveraging specialized communities to provide services, share knowledge, and engage in topics of mutual interest. Defense organizations need to foster and leverage these self-organizing communities to optimize individual and team performance.
4. Sensors and devicesSensors are more reliable, last longer, and cost a lot less. This technology breakthrough is driving what is known as the Internet of Things and Big Data, and will drive innovation to better meet the desired outcomes of the defense organization and its ecosystem by anticipating need through pervasive situational awareness.

TODAY’S REALITY• Only 20–30% of IT budgets are
dedicated to innovation14
• Companies have on average 36 applications/$1 billion in revenue7
Large-scale in-memory computing is a breakthrough that collapses transactional and analytical processing into a single platform, dramatically reducing cost and enabling massive simplification and value creation.
TOMORROW’S SOLUTION• 7x faster throughput and 10x smaller
data footprint• 1,800x faster analytics and reporting• 65% reduction in resource consumption15
MAKING IT REALIncrease in processing speed is equivalent to reducing a London-NY flight from 8.25 hours to 8.42 seconds16
Since the inception of business applications, commercial companies and defense organizations have dealt with a major limitation: transaction and analytic systems required separate landscapes, resulting in complexities (data redundancy, batch jobs, complex systems, high costs).
After eight years of innovation and development, SAP, with the Hasso Plattner Institute and our strategic partners, created a completely new platform that eliminates the separation of transactions and analytics. This technology, SAP HANA, has provided a massive breakthrough to the business world.
SAP HANA is more than just a database; it is a platform to manage digital defense. Although the technology is relatively new, we are already witnessing 7,200 companies leveraging it to reimagine themselves.
The value that this technology brings includes:
1. Real-time defense/commander situation roomDefense processes, with geo-spatial awareness, can run in minutes, not hours or days, changing how people work and how the digital defense network is optimized, thereby changing the focus to predicting and optimizing future outcomes.
2. AgilityAdaptation and introduction of new technologies can be made significantly faster. This provides the necessary agility to be flexible and responsive to emerging situations, which leads to operational benefits.
3. Step-change in productivityOperators obtain the sophistication they have at home for the workplace. With smart apps, transactions run on any device, data is mined at any level of granularity, and simulations and predictive analytics are used to develop viable options for enhanced decision-making.
4. Immersive training environmentsTraining systems will use advanced software and hardware combinations to fully engage individuals and teams in virtual and constructive simulations. Future concepts can be quickly simulated with the results analyzed and opportunities for improvements uncovered.
5. Reduce total cost of ownershipTCO has decreased dramatically due to the collapse of architecture, fewer customizations, the ability to run large volumes of data in a single computer, and cloud deployment options. Architecture simplification will also enable fewer points of failure. Defense organizations can shift their IT spend to innovation and value creation.

Most defense organizations will be living in a hybrid world where cloud technologies interact with on-premise apps. Most innovations are delivered as cloud apps, the value of which has already been proven. With faster time to value, capabilities available in the network, and the rise in adoption, cloud is already a reality in defense .
We believe that there are four cloud delivery models, which must be evaluated:
1. Software-as-a-service (SaaS) SaaS is a mature trend with companies like Ariba providing solutions via the cloud. SAP is the leading cloud company with 95 million+ users leveraging SaaS. With SaaS growing 20%+, we see more apps moving into the cloud. While this is dominated by CRM, procurement, and HR, other apps like ERP are also moving into the cloud.
2. Platform-as-a-service (PaaS)PaaS provides an entire computing platform in the cloud, including hardware, software, and open APIs, to build new businesses and create new solutions. Apple is a great example, and the SAP HANA Cloud Platform will also be a disruptive platform for business.
3. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)Businesses are leveraging IaaS to get up and running in a matter of hours without spending significant capital expense. This is possible through services such as Amazon Web Services. Even Facebook are opening their platform and architecture to develop solutions via IaaS.
4. Business networksCompanies are connecting and sharing information and transactions within the cloud. This collaboration will change how commerce is done. As an example, Ariba comprises 2.0 million+ connected private companies and public organizations and $740 billion+ in business commerce. We believe this will lead to further efficiencies in the way business is conducted within the digital defense network.

Projected spending on cloud computing infrastructure and platforms will grow at a 30% CAGR from 2013 through 2018, compared with 5% growth for overall enterprise IT17
$740 billion+ in business commerce through the Ariba Network9
Global SaaS software revenues are forecasted to reach $106 billion in 2016, increasing 21% over projected 2015 spending levels17
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing will accelerate time to value, drive higher adoption of new technologies, and connect the digital defense network in real time. Defense organizations will need to evaluate exactly which delivery models will help them continue to innovate faster.

Smarter World451 2 3
The economic implications of 3D printing are significant, with up to $550 billion a year by 202521
The global industrial robot population will double to about four million by 202019
To power today’s technology, today’s soldier carries an average of seven different batteries weighing about 8 kg, (15-20% of total weight a soldier has to carry), plus reserve batteries and connecting cables. Reducing the battery burden with all in one rechargeable battery and battery health analyzer is vital for the security, resilience, and mobility of the soldier.20
Defense organizations can leverage Big Data and new technologies to transform themselves to better achieve desired outcomes. Industry lines are blurred, and defense organizations need to innovate to remain agile in an affordable way.
The digital defense network is reimagining operating concepts, embedding software in “things,” and focusing on defense organizations’ desired outcomes.
There are four innovations enabling the world to become smarter:
1. Autonomous systemsAutonomous systems are transforming a number of military functions, as they can take on tasks with no or limited human intervention and are available at a lower risk. An example of this is autonomous logistics vehicles being used to re-supply front-line troops with water in minutes rather than hours, while drastically reducing the risks to personnel.18
2. Artificial intelligence (AI)The rapid growth of structured and unstructured data can be analyzed via AI. Computers can answer questions faster than humans through machine-based algorithms. Software can self-learn.
3. Smart itemsSmart items and assets will change how defense organizations and their people interact and ultimately operate. The latest weapon system platforms and usage and/or performance-based contracts are examples of this.
4. Smarter printingWith 3D printing, defense organizations can reshape their supply chain. This goes beyond providing supplies faster to operators; support personnel can print their own products, and defense organizations can make spare parts on demand. The value includes increased agility and reduced cycle times and supply chain costs.
Smarter, autonomous systems; artificial intelligence; smarter items; and smarter printing will completely reshape the digital defense network and ultimately its agility.

Cyber Security5
1 2 3 4
In 2015, careless/untrained insiders are noted as the largest source of security threats at federal agencies. This increased from 42% in 2014 to 53% in 201522
Five out of six large companies were targeted by cybercriminals in 2014, a 40% rise over the previous year23
Globally, cyber crime costs businesses $375-$575 billion annually and a net loss of up to 200,000 jobs in the United States alone24
Defense organizations have always been prime targets for cyber attacks and therefore assign cybersecurity a top priority. Managing security across the digital defense network must be accomplished through technology and proper governance (e.g., NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework).
Multifactor authentication (U2F standard), biometrics (UAF) supported by contextual analysis and location-based intelligence, and behavioral analytics for fraud prevention will be highly important. Today’s innovations such as fingerprint, voice, or retina scan enable another layer of security and help verify people’s identity in both the physical and virtual world.
The use of electronic signatures will grow significantly, simplifying contracting and improving process efficiency. Privacy is of central concern, and therefore identification via tokenization will be expanded.
Application and storage-level encryption, strict access control, and pervasive auditing are central to all financial systems. The landscape needs to be protected by intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), network behavior anomaly detection (NBAD), and intelligent enterprise threat detections systems (ETD).
The following cyber elements should therefore be addressed:
1. Securing dataSecuring data in an omnichannel environment requires all channels, as well as partner solutions, to stay compliant with data privacy and compliance regulations (e.g., FFIEC). Understanding local data controls and establishing encryption and classification criteria are equally important.
2. Securing interactionsValue chain interactions must be secured and joint SLAs should be in place with partners. Interactions with people must be authenticated at a level matching value, risk, and usability. Checks should be implemented at all levels to prevent possible widespread impact.
3. Securing identitiesAccess to digital information must be restricted to authorized users. Central identification and authentication (IDM), regardless of channel or device, and a robust but fine-grained authorization system are key.
4. Monitoring and act in timeSecurity is a lifetime topic, i.e.. the landscape needs to be continuously monitored and analyzed for security breaches (including SIEM systems). Procedures and governance also have to be in place in order to act on incidents in a timely and effective manner.
5. Partnering with trusted suppliers Supplier relationships are key in establishing trust as more non-core processes are outsourced. Companies should build relationships with a few partners who will meet the highest security standards. This will also result in a more simple and nimble architecture.
With an ever-increasing risk of cyber espionage and cyber crime, cybersecurity must be addressed as defense organizations set and execute their digital strategy.

DIGITAL INNOVATION IS REAL
REIMAGINE EVERYTHING
When analytics and transactions are combined in real time on the same platform, procedures will never look the same.
• Collaborative military planning and force generation across the joint and coalition forces to develop viable and pragmatic options to commanders for informed decision-making
• Seamless battle management and resource management integration will significantly improve the synchronization of operational actions and mission accomplishments
• Optimized asset and human physical performance based on predictive capabilities and hyperconnectivity.26, 27
• Financial analysis and business planning in real time allow defense organizations to optimize their allocated resources to balance operational and strategic risks
• Optimized sustainment chain over the last tactical mile, with resupply performed by autonomous vehicles in order to reduce the risks to personnel and lighten the load that deployed units must carry18
REIMAGINE OPERATING CONCEPTS
REIMAGINEPROCEDURES
REIMAGINE PERSONNEL
Defense organizations have to adapt to rapid changes in the environment and adjust capabilities to address emerging situations by innovating.
• Outcome-based operating models focus on the outcome and not on the “how” by rapid introduction of disruptive technologies to reduce the resource burden in-theater while improving operational effectiveness
• Collaborative and cooperative defense to develop, acquire, operate, and maintain military capabilities for effective and efficient joint and multinational deployments and missions. Nations pooling and sharing, or paying for performance, delivering results over the last tactical mile
• Defense logistics networks will behave like commercial business brokerage models
• Live constructive training through the simultaneous involvement of real and virtual participants to push the boundaries of tactics, techniques, and procedures in a complex environment25
Employer of choice status goes beyond recruitment and retention to fundamentally revolutionizing the way people operate.
• Eliminate human work altogether by applying autonomy to the process (e.g., “smart shelf” ammunition reordering)
• Improve individual and team cognitive performance through real-time, wearable, integrated technologies coupled with contextually aware and anticipatory data28
• Use predictive and self-learning software to improve machine-to-machine and machine-to-human collaboration and optimize decisions
• Use interactive technology to improve user experiences, including voice recognition, visualization, and immersive technologies
• Win “war for talent” in digital economy to attract and retain top talent with the best technology and access to information
Commercial companies and defense organizations understand that hyperconnectivity and Big Data are the keys to value creation. Based on our collaboration with defense and commercial organizations worldwide, we have seen that successful ones are moving quickly in three strategic areas.
Sir Nicholas Houghton:“Few people genuinely understand the exponential change that is being brought about […] and even fewer people can
comprehend the impact it will have on capability; and particularly on capability as we currently, doggedly, and determinedly cling to assessing it.”29

REIMAGINE OPERATING CONCEPTS
REIMAGINE EVERYTHING
Defense organizations have to adapt to rapid changes in the environment and adjust capabilities to address emerging situations by innovating.
Outcome-based operating models s on the outcome and not on the “how.” Digital defense allows the rapid introduction of disruptive technologies to reduce the resource burden in-theater, while improving operational effectiveness.
• Individuals have the freedom to achieve the desired outcomes. The digital defense network brings their extensive experience together, employing cutting-edge technology
• Utilize new technology as it presents itself to better address emerging requirements. Organizations can pivot quickly to exploit its benefits without letting a previously authorized program of record run its course first. For example, innovative solutions for energy efficiency in the battlefield will increase operational reach, autonomy, and combat effectiveness
• This model allows defense organizations to out-innovate their adversaries
Defense logistics networks will start to behave much more like commercial business brokerage models.• Defense logistic networks serve to bring together demand
and supply across the ecosystem, regardless of the participants’ location and operations
• Unlike the existing defense logistic networks (e.g., foreign military sales procurement) that are simple, but rigid and dedicated, business brokerage networks allow buying and selling across the spectrum of goods and services by defense organizations. For example, Service personnel at a branch of a major country’s military have resorted to eBay to source parts for aging systems, exposing readiness
• Matching supply and demand from timely sources
Collaborative and cooperative defense develops, acquires, operates, and maintains military capabilities for effective and efficient joint and multinational deployments and missions. Nations pooling and sharing equipment or capabilities and paying for performance deliver results over the last tactical mile.• Multinational collaboration and cooperation, specialization,
and prioritization of defense spending is at the heart of pooling and sharing
• Interoperability becomes even more important and allows sharing of common doctrine and procedures and each others’ infrastructure and bases to seamlessly communicate over the network. For example, it is now common for allies to pool and share medical treatment facilities in support of operations 30
• Defense organizations can provide capabilities to their own personnel at a lower cost by leveraging the specialized equipment and knowledge of their allies
Live constructive training through the simultaneous involvement of real and virtual participants, pushing the boundaries of tactics, techniques, and procedures in a complex environment.• Cloud-hosted services and applications that converge live
and realistically simulated environments are used to manage the entire spectrum of training and concept development activities, regardless of location or whether at the strategic or tactical levels
• The flexibility of live constructive training makes “train as you fight/fight as you train” tailored and affordable. For example, the training of a forward air controller in a live environment would today require close air support aircraft. Live simulation using technologies such as augmented reality and high-resolution terrain data will vastly reduce this complexity and cost. Advanced analytics provide the ability to replay and conduct after-action analysis
• Create the best possible training and testing environment for geographically dispersed forces for any type of situations

Transport for London using SAP HANA for IoT and big data processing to develop options for decision making 33
Collaborative military planning and force generation across the joint and coalition forces to develop viable and pragmatic options for commanders to make informed decisions.• Leveraging the modular force concepts and integrated
readiness assessments, military planners can compose options to government to respond to emerging crises
• Total resource visibility provides the necessary insight to planners and decision-makers to generate and deploy forces. For example, the deployment of rapid reaction forces specifically tailored to the mission parameters
• Quickly develop options through a repeatable and flexible collaborative planning environment
Seamless battle management and resource management integration will significantly improve the synchronization of operational actions and mission accomplishments.• Resource management and battle management are the two
sides of the same force element coin• Mission planning and execution is seamless. Aircraft sortie
generation matches mission demands, informed by resources visibility
• Agility through feasible options that can be acted on
Predictive software: Hyperconnectivity will transform how we optimize asset and human physical performance.• Through embedded or affixed sensors, gain greater visibility
into the physical performance of fixed assets, aircrafts, ships, land systems, and personnel
• Predictive analysis techniques are employed as an early warning to detect potential failure or fatigue of systems. For example, analysis of system vibration patterns can lead to the identification of a catastrophic failure before it occurs
• Improved human/machine system availability at lower lifecycle cost
Financial analysis and business planning in real time to allow defense organizations to optimize their allocated resources and balance operational and strategic risks.• Financial management along the entire financial lifecycle• Provide accurate, timely, and relevant data that connects
operational output/performance data to financial data. As an example, military planners can conduct real-time assessments of the impact of future deployments based on current budgetary constraints
• Understanding of the impact of resource allocation; balance tactical and strategic risks
Sustainment chain optimization over the last tactical mile performed by autonomous vehicles to reduce the risk to personnel and lighten the load that deployed units must carry.• Autonomous systems can take on tasks with limited or no
human intervention. They rely on an extensive array of sensors to provide the system with situational awareness
• As troops are frequent targets of improvised explosive devices and insurgent attacks, autonomous vehicles, for example, reduce the number of truck resupply convoys and their troop escorts to protect soldiers on the ground
• Reduced logistics footprint by improving the tooth-to-tail ratio

Recruits from the New Zealand Defence Forces get sized and equipped with their new uniforms using RFID technology. 37
REIMAGINE EVERYTHING
Eliminate human work altogether by applying autonomy to the process.• Business processes are simplified• Embedded sensors are participants in the process itself by
acting on the behalf of humans. For example, armored vehicles can autonomously send replenishment requests for fuel and ammunition as well as for maintenance
• Increased operational efficiencies and effectiveness
Improve individual and team cognitive performance through real-time, wearable, integrated technologies coupled with contextually aware and anticipatory data.• Operators will be equipped with wearable technology that
provides enhance situational awareness• Augmented reality provides operators with the ability to fuse
input from their primary senses with real-time data from other sources to better discern between friend or foe
• Reduced uncertainty, improved real-time situational awareness, better informed decision-making, and proactive assistance
Use predictive and self-learning software to improve machine-to-machine and machine-to-human collaboration and optimize decisions.• Decisions are made based on competing factors• Advanced analytics capabilities help to recognize patterns to
provide decision-makers with recommendations. For example, a soldier carrying a heavy load is equipped with an array of biometric sensors. His/her movement patterns and vital signs are analyzed in real time and the team leader is alerted in the event of signs of fatigue or risk of injury
• Enhanced decision-making, risk reduction, and operational performance
Use interactive technology to improve user experiences, including voice recognition, visualization, and immersive technologies.• Appropriate user interaction techniques are provided, that go
beyond “mouse clicks”, and are more suitable to the working environment such as voice recognition.
• The system is designed around the needs of the user. Technicians can be walked through complex procedures with the help of 3D visualization while performing maintenance activities
• The system is ruggedized and useable in all weather and operating conditions
Win “war for talent” in digital economy to attract and retain top talent with the best technology and access to information. • Achieving recruitment and retention goals is challenging in
the current economic climate. This is most severe where demand in the private sector is high for trained and competent people with specialized skills
• Recruiters and career managers optimize person-to-job matching – that is, optimize those matches in which personnel has the greatest chance of successful job performance and career-long job satisfaction
• Effective recruiting and retention program that meet the personnel needs of defense organizations

SAP HANA: THE GREAT SIMPLIFIER
In order to reimagine everything in digital defense, agility and flexibility are required to adjust course at any time. This involves two key concepts: simplification and innovation.
• Simplification is all about doing what we are already doing, but better, faster, and cheaper
• Innovation is all about reimagining operating concepts and operator value by leveraging the five technology trends
The diagram below illustrates the heart of the digital defense transformation. The idea is very simple but it took years to make it a reality: Bringing together transactions and analytics on the same platform and uniting structured data (e.g., finance) with unstructured data (text, video, voice) will change how defense organizations plan, execute, and innovate.
In-memory computing is a concept brought to life by the breakthrough SAP HANA platform. While relatively young by commercial standards, SAP HANA’s rapid adoption across multiple industries validates its massive potential for digital businesses.
With in-memory computing, we can now finally:• Leverage Big Data from sensors, weather, social, and
geospatial sources. Bringing all data signals together leads to the optimal recommendation, which can be instantly acted upon in transactional systems via human and machine-to-machine interfaces
• Extend the business process to interoperate with trusted members of the digital defense network in near real time via advanced business networks
• Modernize business processes from planning to execution, running them in real time with no data replication and no batch programs
These capabilities open infinite new ways of optimizing business, driving business digitization, simplifying everything, reducing cost, and providing the agility required in rapidly changing world.
SAP constructed an innovation road map designed to bring in-memory computing together with cloud computing and mobility. This strategy has been embraced by early adopters who are leading the transition to digital.

Every defense organization can develop a digital strategy across these five pillars.
1. Outcome-based operator experience2. Re-platform core business processes and bring
together transactions and analytics in real time to be smarter, faster, and simpler
3. Smarter and engaged personnel across all employees and contractors
4. Supplier collaboration to accelerate growth innovation
5. Harness assets and the Internet of Things to drive real-time insights and new business models
SAP understands the five technology trends, and we also understand that these ever-changing requirements are big challenges for defense organizations. The reimagining process helps crystalize future military capabilities.
As a result, we have built a structured framework to think through how to develop and execute on your digital defense strategy: the digital defense framework. With this framework, the entire value chain will be digitized, including the core which serves as the platform for innovation and business process optimization.

THE DIGITAL CORE
Currently SAP S/4HANA is the only end-to-end solution that covers all business processes across 25 industries and runs in-memory. The real consideration here is how and when to use such a breakthrough in business applications.
In addition, the SAP HANA platform can be the single enterprise data source leveraged by SAP S/4HANA and the rest of your solution landscape.
With advanced in-memory computing, you can finally free yourself from running your defense organization in batch mode and building complex procedures to get around technology limitations. You can run simply and unleash the full power of digital defense.
Agility
The ability to rapidly and successfully adjust capabilities to address emerging situations will be significantly simpler.
Real time
Real-time optimization of business-based changes will have massive implications for how you work, how you do business, and how you organize.
Power of prediction and simulationPersonnel can leverage real insights with the help of simulation and predictive tools to drive perfect decisions and significantly increase efficiency and effectiveness.
Deployment choice and lower TCO
The consuming solution to run the core has to be simple. Defense organizations now have the choice to deploy in-house or in the cloud. In-memory computing will also have a major impact on TCO and will free up more budget for innovation.
Consumer-grade user experience
User experience is key to success: it drives adoption, user engagement, and ultimately gains in efficiencies and effectiveness.
Simplify with SAP
A new generation of ERP solution with embedded best military, public sector and commercial practices, running in real time, integrating predictive, Big Data, and mobile, will change how you work, how you run your defense organization, an how information is consumed. The future is here.

A single platform that brings all operator-facing functions together (such as SAP Hybris omnichannel solutions) to ensure seamless digitization of their entire experience.
By focusing on the outcome and not on the “how” with the rapid introduction of disruptive technologies, we will see improved operational effectiveness by means of:
• Orchestrating business processes across operator facing functions
• Delivering personalized experiences in context with each interaction
• Creating a single, harmonized experience for each operator, while reducing the burden on personnel
• Being prepared to engage the operator on the channels they choose at any moment while on operations
• Full integration with your core business processes
Three key trends are reshaping the operator experience:
Outcome economy
The outcome economy requires a deep change in operating concepts and new organizational and business process capabilities. This change removes artificial barriers to delivering capabilities within the digital defense network.
Operator engagement
Operators choose how they engage across multiple channels at their convenience – the pattern that emerges is not linear, as in the past.
Big Data and insight in near real time
Big Data allows defense organizations to sense and respond to operators’ needs in real time and predict the next, best step for meeting these needs.
OPERATOR EXPERIENCE

PERSONNEL ENGAGEMENT
Complexity is a challenge for workforce engagement. People are working harder than ever but are not necessarily accomplishing more. Personnel do not have access to smart, consumer-grade technology to work faster, better, and more efficiently. Organizational complexity is driving costs up and slowing down progress. Four forces need to be addressed:
Changing of the guard
Millennials will make up as much as 75% of the U.S. workforce by 2025.43 This will require a personnel strategy to address this new reality.
Contingent labor is on the rise
To drive agility, lower fixed cost defense organizations are turning more and more to contractors and services providers.
Flexible organization
Adjust capabilities to address emerging situations with modular force elements.
Complexity is on the rise
Managing your blended workforce 24x7 around the globe is a complex endeavor. Regulations are changing by the day and are hindering speed and agility.
Relevant and responsive learning
Incorporate new delivery methods that can tailor the pace of study in different subjects to the students’ strengths and weaknesses, ensuring more effective learning through their continuum of education.44
Improve your total personnel productivity. Simplify with SAP
30% of executives say their companies give special attention to the particular wants and needs of millennials45

BUSINESS NETWORKS AND SUPPLIER COLLABORATION
SAP S/4HANA gives you incredible capacity to digitize processes across your internal business operations. It is the connections to our customers’ global partner network that enables you to extend those processes externally beyond the four walls of your organization. • Concur, SAP Ariba, and SAP Fieldglass cloud solutions for travel, direct and indirect material, and labor and services –
connected, effortless, and at scale• Business networks operate on a global basis, meet data security standards, and operate at industry best standards• Leverage services from partners to vastly extend the value of core offerings
Individual industry boundary lines have blurred, and defense organizations have to reimagine procedures to remain agile and best serve their nation in the new digital economy. From securely sharing data in real time, to providing personalized and contextual insights, performance-based logistics, pooling, and sharing, collaboration across the entire value chain is key to achieving desired outcomes. Major equipment acquisitions will occur far less frequently; instead, defense organizations will buy capability and outcomes. Several trends are redefining the game:
Network of networksAn open network serving a single market (such as travel, suppliers, labor) is valuable to its ecosystem, but a trusted vertical network that connects to other trusted vertical networks in real time is revolutionary and can only be accomplished through a shared set of cloud-based services built on top of the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.
Business connectivity at scaleThe greatest challenge/opportunity in connecting vast ecosystems is to gain value out of the exponential data growth generated and consumed by the network. Establishing digital relationships with trusted partners and processing petabytes of data in real time are the core requirements to becoming the de facto standard. Only SAP offers the platform to meet this challenge.
Consumer experience Business applications must be effortless to learn and use, as is the case with iTunes, Amazon, or Google.

Port of Hamburg brings together port and road traffic conditions, truck availability and incoming/ outgoing shipment schedules to reduce idle truck/ship time. The solution allowed the port to increase container handling capacity by 178% within the same land area.50
ASSETS AND THE INTERNET OF THINGS
With SAP HANA, Internet of Things edition, organizations can now take embedded device data, analyze this data into information in real time, and leverage the information across the value chain to drive insights and enable new operating concepts.
Defense organizations are beginning to harness the full potential of the interlock between physical and digital assets and the internet of things. We are witnessing new use cases across industries with breathtaking results. Below are some key trends.
Smart products drive new operating concepts and procedures
Defense suppliers are embedding sensors in their products and, as a result, are increasingly becoming service providers and rethinking the value delivered by their offerings provided to defense organizations.
Technology-driven value chain
Defense organizations are spending more and more on Big Data and sensor technologies as many functions are transformed by these new technologies.
Collaborative and cooperative digital defense network
Seamless collaboration around new business models involving partnerships that may not have made sense few years back. Examples include defense organization partnerships with myriad providers such as satellite/weather/ leasing/logistics/security/etc. companies.
Connect, transform, and reimagine with SAP
The most dramatic changes in digital defense will be driven by hyperconnectivity and Big Data science. These will transform nearly every operating concept and procedure.

HOW DOES IT ALL COME TOGETHER? – EXAMPLE
The digital defense network illustrates how both open source intelligence harvested through social media, platform sensor data, and weather and digital imagery are seamlessly fused to form the current intelligence picture. In parallel, the commander is able to monitor the resource situation and react to fresh task orders. As necessary, the maritime interdiction force is replenished and undergoing joint rehearsals.
Based on the current and real-time intelligence report in conjunction with a shared common operation picture, the commander is able to review the options, prioritize, initiate, launch, and coordinate the mission.
Finally, the maritime commander is able to report on the success of the mission to political stakeholders, reset the force’s posture, and await the next tasking.
While each of the five digital business pillars delivers significant value as a stand-alone capability, the ultimate goal is to design the next generation of business processes that will span across all the digital pillars. Conducting drug interdiction at sea will not stop at dispatching military boarding parties. The whole digital defense network has to be aligned with the desired outcomes and optimize the limited available resources through pervasive situational awareness.
The predictive nature of the future solution will change how the coalition operates by anticipating need and harnessing the synergistic effect of the digital defense network, and will also ultimately change how maritime drug interdiction operations are conducted by mitigating the risk of surprises. Decision-makers and their staff can rapidly develop pragmatic options to achieve the desired outcomes. The benefits of this scenario are significant:• Operate in communication-challenged environments• Achieve seamless collaboration• Maximize situational awareness• Minimize duplicative effort• Prioritize deployment of available resources• Promote maritime security• Prevent illegal traffic in drugs and, in turn, improve quality of
life
