Arc Professional Services, a veteran-owned and operated leading Defence and intelligence solutions provider, has achieved a significant milestone by securing a contract with the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG). This contract involves Arc’s contribution to the Resilient Decision Highway (RDH) project, a state-of-the-art platform designed to enhance collaborative problem-solving, situational awareness, and operational decision-making within the Australian Defence Force and its FVEY partners. 

Gateway by ICN has been instrumental in promoting Arc Professional Services’ capabilities and enabling the company, as an SME, to work with prime contractors and access compelling opportunities. Key features such as capability statements and Expressions of Interest (EOIs) have been particularly useful in this process. 

The RDH project, initiated in 2019, represents the pinnacle of automated intelligence capabilities, providing timely situational awareness and operational insights to intelligence analysts and warfighters. Arc Professional Services’ involvement in this project underscores their commitment to advancing Defence technology and supporting national security initiatives. “Winning this contract is a testament to our team’s dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to supporting the Australian Defence Force and its allies,” said Jeremy Stredwick, Founder and Managing Director of Arc Professional Services. “We are honoured to be a contributor to the RDH project, leveraging our extensive experience in challenging and complex ICT environments to deliver innovative solutions that enhance operational effectiveness.” 

Arc will collaborate closely with DSTG and other project stakeholders to develop and maintain the RDH’s underlying platform infrastructure, create novel analytic capabilities, and design user interfaces that improve human-machine collaboration. The project will follow an Agile development methodology, ensuring flexibility and responsiveness to evolving requirements. 

ICN and Gateway by ICN have played a pivotal role in this success by promoting Arc’s capabilities and connecting them with prime contractors. This support has significantly enhanced Arc’s business prospects and strengthened their contributions to national security and technological advancement. Arc Professional Services looks forward to continuing its partnership with ICN, leveraging the platform to explore new opportunities and drive innovation in the Defence sector.
