The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the potential benefit of developing a secure community cloud as part of the Digital Targeting Web project.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The Ministry of Defence is on course to deliver the first elements of the Digital Targeting Web (DTW) later this year which is part of the wider modernisation of targeting, intelligence, and command‑and‑control systems across Defence. Separately from DTW, Defence already has an existing multi‑year contract with Google for Secret‑level cloud hosting and data services. This contract provides secure cloud capability across Defence for at least five years.
