Defence Lifecycle Fluency

We have deep expertise in delivering against the One Defence Capability System, Defence BMS, and CASG program assurance requirements. Our team have led Gate 0 through Gate 2 submissions, CMGR/IC/NSIC artefact development, and transition into service activities — ensuring compliance without delay.

Acquisition Strategy & Delivery

We advise on MOTS/COTS/FMS procurements, acquisition category strategies, and sovereign sustainment planning. Our SMEs have worked directly with primes (BAE, Thales, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Leidos) and international partners to align Defence acquisition with capability outcomes.

Risk, Governance & Assurance

We design and embed fit-for-purpose governance models, including Project Governance Boards (PGBs), Integrated Project Teams (IPTs), and assurance reporting (MRMs, PPRIPs). Our SMEs are Predict! risk tool practitioners, with hands-on experience in Defence’s C1 risk module.

Program Acceleration

Unlike generic firms, we focus on rapid mobilisation and delivery acceleration. Whether establishing work packages for primes or unblocking stalled project milestones, we apply targeted frameworks that deliver speed to capability while maintaining compliance.

Stakeholder & Contestability Engagement

Our consultants are experienced in contesting analysis with VCDF, AHQ, DDG, and ASD. We ensure project sponsors, Capability Managers, and primes remain aligned and informed, minimising churn and avoiding costly rework.
