Policy areas to be informed by the IAN will include:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Industrial options, to be supplemented by in-depth engagement with industry;</li><li>Exportability, enabling any related campaigns to commence at the earliest opportunity, and providing transparency over any potential mismatch between domestic and international market requirements;</li><li>Full cost transparency, including the likely cost of associated and dependent enablers; and</li><li>Technological considerations, informed by wargaming and other evidence.</li></ul><p> </p><p>Advice would draw on expertise from across the Defence Enterprise, including, but not restricted to: DSTL; DE&amp;S; DSE/DBT.</p><p> </p><p>The total programme budget will be allocated on completion of the concept phase.
