Defence Technology Principles
Principle 8 — Reuse when you can
Share, reuse and work together on existing solutions to save time and money.
You should reuse existing solutions when delivering products, and to avoid legacy and obsolescence issues.
If you need to buy or build a product instead, make sure it can be used by others in Defence by designing common, reusable solutions and sharing ideas, standards, patterns and experiences.
What you should do
