12thLevel, a Canberra-based system design company with specialist naval capability, has been granted Defence Export approval to promote their fleet readiness tools.
For a naval fleet to operate effectively, it needs effective data on current capability: operational readiness, maintenance, personnel competency and training, and fatigue. However, this can create masses of data from disparate sources.
“12thLevel help to provide context to this data, converting it to irrefutable intelligence,” Managing Director Andrew Cleary said. “Attaining this export approval is great — we already have two countries keen to explore our capability.”
According to the company, it has taken 15 years of partnering with stakeholders and delivering over 20 bespoke information management systems across Defence information environments to reach this milestone.
“We really do believe we can make a positive contribution within the Defence export market,” 12thLevel’s Business Development manager Ben Bird said. “On board a warship, it’s a dynamic environment, and our systems help people navigate that through real-time information.”
12thLevel’s systems drill down to a specific individual, identifying whether they’re competent to handle a specific task and not fatigued. When a ship is in dock the systems can also track and report whether it will achieve its maintenance milestones on time and be ready to deploy on schedule.
“Our systems and processes are leading the way in delivering solutions through a distanced yet well connected workforce,” Cleary said. “We use the same tools we developed for our clients to manage our own workflows. That means knowing the status of projects in real time, mitigating risk and ensuring reliability. All this adds up to being well-resourced to respond in very reactive times.”
