A digital synthetic environment has been adopted by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for the Defence DevSecOps Service.

Improbable Defence, the digital synthetic environment provider and part of a gaming firm, been working with one of the platform services within the Defence Digital Foundry to help shape future DevSecOps (development, security, and operations) Services.

Launched in September 2022, the Defence Digital Foundry and its Defence DevSecOps Service (D2S) arm have been tasked with increasing the pace of software development and deployment across the armed forces. At launch, D2S announced it would be using the Red Hat OpenShift open source container technology to allow military digital teams and partners such as Improbable Defence to move to continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).

DevSecOps is a key part of the CI/CD software delivery model and focuses on the culture, automation, and platform design, as well as security integration.

London headquartered Improbable Defence has deployed a platform that develops synthetic environments for the D2S service. Synthetic environments allow organisations to create realistic computer simulations and include data based behavioural models, visualisations and virtual reality immersion.
