Enlightened Thinking. Innovative Action.

We assist with complex integration and interoperability programs, helping knit disparate equipment, platforms, systems and data together to provide enhanced situation awareness, improved communications in the contested battlespace, and information exchange that helps enable real-time decision making.

Our dual approach to service provision ensures your project, capability or procurement achieves the desired outcome. We work with you to ensure the immediate demands of your project or operation are delivered, and continue to find ways to improve and innovate for the future. 

With more than 100 years’ combined defence experience, we are perfectly placed to apply our skills and experience to deliver complex and challenging defence projects, and develop innovative solutions and systems that achieve mission critical capabilities. Our people come from diverse technical, commercial, contracting, and management backgrounds, including mechanical and systems engineering; communications and RF engineering; and systems architecture, as well as project and program management.

Speak to us about:

• All aspects of Platform and Systems Integration
• Hardware and Subsystem Design and Verification
• Contested Communications and Resilient and Hardened Networks
• Information Exchange Requirements

Our in-depth understanding of the ASDEFCON tendering and contracting suite used by the Department of Defence for procurement ensures we can help you tender, manage, and deliver these contracts effectively. With decades of defence and mission critical systems engineering and project management experience, we aid defence contractors and suppliers in achieving higher levels of delivery and compliance with our industry best practice approach to ASDEFCON.

Engage our professional services team for:

• Enhancement of product applicability and adaptability in the contested battlespace through our unique approach to i2 solutions
• Implementation of solutions for Australian Generic Soldier Architecture (AS GSA) and Australian Generic Vehicle Architecture (AS GVA) requirements, and interoperability between platforms
• Independent audit of compliance (including verification and validation activities)
• Complex program and engineering plan development
• Specialist support for complex bids and tenders
• Support for the delivery of your defence programs and projects

Using both classic sequential approaches and ‘sprint’ style project management, we help our clients deliver complex and demanding projects and programs with speed and efficiency.

Our knowledge and experience can be harnessed to address project delivery issues and correct underlying structural problems to get your project back on track, or use our commercial and contracts expertise to inform your key decision-making processes; corporate program and delivery strategy; probity, conflict of interest, and commercial terms and agreements; project disputes and delays; procurement and tender issues; and day-to-day project management capability to help you make the right calls.

Some of the ways we can help you streamline and optimise performance include: 

• Project planning, scheduling and estimation
• Project review, auditing and recovery/rescue 
• Collection and mining of data sources to capture trends and metadata
• Analysis of data sets and qualitative information to highlight patterns and visualise processes
• Presentation of data using dashboards, performance metrics, and infographics for maximum impact and clarity
• Support for decision making processes, providing contestability and evidence based fact reporting
• Project Management tailored for Agile, Prince2 or PMBoK approaches
• Risk Management Plans (RMP), risk registers and strategic reviews including compliance to AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009
• Earned Value Management (EVM) systems, reporting and compliance to AS/NZS 4873-2003 (and the Defence Supplement)

We do this by investing in our people through training, in-house research and development, and equipping ourselves with the facilities and resources to carry out integration work, design, development, and engineering of prototypes in our Melbourne workshop facility.

Building on this commitment, we seek to provide industry with an increased understanding of complex systems integration and interoperability through white papers, keynote presentations at major conferences and events, participating in industry groups and forums, and producing informative and engaging content for our network.
