OUR PROMISE
BOTH SIDES
OF THE SIGNATURE
Every Defence contract has a line down the middle: the moment it’s signed. Before it, the work is securing the contract. After it, the work is delivering the capability.
On 1 July 2026, Defence split responsibility for capability along similar lines. Deciding what Defence needs now sits with the Vice Chief of the Defence Force. Buying and sustaining it sits with the new Defence Delivery Group. For industry, that means two front doors. For programs, it means new structures around the same deadlines.
Most consultancies work one side of the line. Systematiq works both, with a dedicated stream for each.
YOUR PATHWAY
WHERE DO YOU NEED HELP?
Every Defence program turns on one moment: the signing of the contract. Before it, companies are competing to be chosen. After it, program teams are working to get capability into service. We support both sides as one firm, so what gets promised can be delivered. Find your side below to see the problems we solve and the path we take you on.
Secure the contract.
Defence contracts are shaped long before they are released. By the time an RFT appears, the need is defined, the business case is built, and Defence has met the companies it thinks can deliver. Systematiq positions you earlier, helps you win, and stands the contract up when you do.
What’s in your way
- Your business is not yet Defence-contract-ready.
- Your prototype faces growing compliance demands.
- Your delivery team is not mobilisation-ready.
- Your technology lacks a clear path into service.
How we move you forward
- 1Find
We match your capability to funded programs and the primes that matter to them.
- 2Shape
We build your credibility with capability sponsors while the requirement is still moving.
- 3Win
Strategy, writing, pricing, AIC plans and compliance, run to your deadline.
- 4Mobilise At the signature
The plans and people Defence expects in the first weeks of your contract.
Deliver the capability.
A signed contract is not capability into service. Between acquisition and operational service sits the hardest stretch of any Defence program, and it is where programs often run short of expertise. Systematiq puts experienced practitioners into your program teams to introduce capability into service with confidence.
What’s in your way
- Your division or organisation is not ready to own the capability.
- Your asset will arrive before your people, and support systems are ready.
How we move you forward
- 1Mobilise At the signature
Experienced people in your program team quickly, working to its governance.
- 2Integrate
Systems engineering that fits the platform into the wider Defence system.
- 3Transition
Introduction into service planning, training and documentation.
- 4Sustain
Integrated logistics support that keeps capability available and affordable.

OUR DIFFERENCE
WHY PARTNER WITH SYSTEMATIQ?
Whichever side of the signature you’re on, the same things put a program at risk: late surprises, unclear costs, the wrong support and knowledge lost at handover. These four commitments are how we reduce those risks, from the first conversation to capability in service.
FEWER DELIVERY
SURPRISES
Our experience across Army upgrades, integration, logistics and survivability helps you spot risks earlier and make better-informed decisions. The result is fewer schedule shocks and a smoother move into service.
CLEAR COSTS,
ACCOUNTABLE DELIVERY
Get greater certainty over cost, scope and delivery. Our fixed-price, outcomes-based model gives you a committed partner who shares delivery risk and stays accountable for the result, not just the hours.
THE RIGHT SUPPORT
FROM THE START
Our capability readiness assessment identifies gaps in your Defence knowledge, compliance and delivery readiness early. You focus effort where it counts, and we tailor the right support from day one.
SHAPE EARLY,
STAY THROUGH DELIVERY
The team that helps you influence requirements and position your solution stays with you through mobilisation and delivery. What was promised is what gets delivered, with nothing lost at the handover.
OUR IMPACT
CAPABILITY
ON BOTH SIDES
Experienced where acquisition meets operational readiness. For more than 13 years, we’ve helped Defence companies win work and program teams bring capability into service. Behind every number is a real program: a tender written, a contract stood up or a capability moved closer to service.

WHICH STREAM IS RIGHT FOR US?
It depends where your program sits. If you’re a Defence SME or tier 2 prime chasing a contract, start with Pursue & Mobilise. If you’re a Defence program team, or a prime delivering to one, start with Deliver & Sustain. If you need both, the same firm covers both sides.
DOES SYSTEMATIQ HAVE DEFENCE EXPERIENCE?
Yes. We’ve worked in Defence for more than 13 years. Our team includes former serving members and former Defence program managers, and our project managers hold PRINCE2, AIPM and ICCPM certifications. Here are some examples of our work:

WHAT CHANGED IN DEFENCE ON 1 JULY 2026?
Defence split capability into two pathways. Requirement development now sits under the Vice Chief of the Defence Force. Acquisition and sustainment sit with the new Defence Delivery Group, formed from CASG, GWEO and NSSG, which becomes the Defence Delivery Agency on 1 July 2027. For industry, that means two front doors, and a higher cost for knocking on the wrong one.
WHAT IS INTRODUCTION INTO SERVICE?
It’s the stretch between accepting a new capability and the ADF being able to operate, maintain and support it. It covers planning, training, documentation and logistics support. It’s also where programs often run short of expertise.
