Context and objective

• Defence is increasingly deploying data-driven models in critical task operations.
• These models must comply with ethical, legal and quality frameworks (such as the AI regulation).
• A user-friendly, centralised tool to record and support model development, management and use is currently lacking.
• A central model register should ensure transparency, accountability, better decision-making and oversight.
• The KMar's DevOps department has developed an existing prototype that could be used more widely.
• The business analyst examines whether this prototype, or a commercial solution, is the best choice for Defence-wide use.
• The chosen model register should then be set up, implemented and adopted within all defence units.
• Collaboration takes place within the context of CIO Office, Chief Data Officer and Royal Military Police (KMar).
