Hammerstone delivers Sense and Respond Logistics to help organisations anticipate demand, detect change early and act before logistics issues impact operations. By integrating real-time asset condition, usage, location and sustainment data across enterprise, operational and tactical systems, Hammerstone enables logistics to shift from a reactive function to a proactive, decision-enabled capability.
Sense and Respond Logistics is the strategic operating model that all other Hammerstone capabilities contribute to. CBM+ provides the maintenance insight. HUMS and VIMS provide the asset condition data. ITV provides the movement picture. AIT/UID provides the identity layer. Together, they enable logistics that senses what is happening and responds before it becomes a problem.
Hammerstone enables Condition-Based Maintenance by using real-world data to inform when maintenance is actually required, rather than relying on fixed schedules or assumptions. By analysing asset condition, usage and operating context, Hammerstone helps organisations reduce preventable failures, optimise maintenance effort and improve availability. CBM+ is delivered as part of a broader sustainment approach that integrates engineering assurance, digital platforms and through-life support.
CBM+ at Hammerstone means connecting the right data to the right decision. HUMS and VIMS systems capture live asset health and usage data from platforms. ReadyFleet™ ingests and analyses that data to identify emerging trends and maintenance needs. IPS analysis translates those signals into maintenance task recommendations, spares demand forecasting and through-life support updates. The result is maintenance driven by what is actually happening to the asset — not by a conservative fixed schedule designed around worst-case assumptions.
Hammerstone’s most direct CBM+ proof is the Condition-Based Maintenance Software System (CBMSS) — a DIH program developing an OEM-agnostic CBM platform that integrates HUMS data with SAP for fleet management, logistics decision support and process automation. The system is designed to improve Operational Availability by minimising Logistics Lag Time and Administrative Downtime.
CBM+ is enabled by:
SAP integration connects CBM+ outputs to enterprise maintenance management.
Hammerstone delivers Health and Usage Monitoring Systems that provide continuous visibility of asset condition and operational stress. HUMS captures sensor and telemetry data to identify emerging issues early, supporting predictive maintenance and engineering analysis. Designed for deployed and high-consequence environments, Hammerstone’s HUMS solutions help reduce risk, extend asset life and improve confidence in sustainment decisions.
HUMS operates at the platform level — sensors monitor engine performance, structural loads, vibration, operating hours and usage intensity across the asset’s service life. This data is transmitted to ReadyFleet™ or the onboard VIMS for aggregation, contextualisation and analysis. Where HUMS data connects to SAP, it enables CBM+ at the enterprise level — maintenance decisions informed by actual platform health rather than time-based estimates.
HUMS enables:
Hammerstone has developed HUMS solutions for the LAND 400-3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle program.
Hammerstone designs and integrates Vehicle Information Management Systems to capture, manage and contextualise operational data from vehicles and mobile platforms. VIMS provides insight into usage, performance and operating conditions, supporting maintenance planning, safety and readiness decisions. Integrated with digital logistics platforms, VIMS enables vehicle data to inform sustainment and command decision-making rather than remaining isolated at the platform level.
VIMS is the vehicle-level intelligence layer. Where HUMS captures raw sensor data from platform systems, VIMS aggregates and contextualises it — providing meaningful fleet management information including usage-based maintenance triggers, operator behaviour monitoring, performance trend analysis and readiness status. VIMS data flows into ReadyFleet™ to contribute to the Logistics Common Operating Picture and into SAP to update maintenance records and trigger work orders.
VIMS enables:
Hammerstone has developed VIMS for the LAND 400-3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle program – a key component of Defence’s Whole of Fleet Management (WFM) system incorporating CBM modelling to predict maintenance actions and drive cost and schedule modelling.
Hammerstone provides In-Transit Visibility to deliver real-time awareness of the movement, status and condition of assets and supplies as they move through the supply chain. ITV reduces reliance on manual reporting and enables earlier detection of delays, damage or risk during transport and storage. Integrated with enterprise and operational systems, ITV turns logistics movement from a blind spot into a source of decision-ready insight.
Hammerstone’s primary ITV product is D-JMILS — the Digitalised Joint Modular Intermodal Logistics System. D-JMILS uses RuBee magnetic AIT to track identity, location and condition of Defence’s intermodal logistics platforms, including in containers and metallic environments where conventional tracking fails. Developed across two DIH programs, D-JMILS is confirmed for integration with SAP and Battle Management Systems and was demonstrated at PC-C5 in coalition operations with Australian, US and UK forces.
Hammerstone applies Unique Identification (UID) and Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) to uniquely identify, track and manage assets throughout their lifecycle. AIT improves asset accountability, traceability and visibility, particularly in complex, deployed and containerised environments where traditional tracking fails. As a foundation for digital logistics, AIT enables accurate data capture that supports in-transit visibility, sustainment planning and Sense and Respond Logistics.
The portfolio includes RuBee (IEEE 1902.1) — intrinsically safe magnetic near-field technology that operates in metallic containers and near explosives and fuel — alongside RFID and low-emission Bluetooth. RuBee is the technology at the core of D-JMILS.
Hammerstone is the ADF’s contracted prime supplier for DEF(AUST) 1000C compliant Unique Identification labels, marks and AIT products under a national standing offer deed. Over 200,000 assets have been marked across Army brigades nationally.
Hammerstone develops and integrates autonomous systems to reduce logistics burden and risk in high-threat and constrained environments. Focusing on rearm, refuel and reload functions, these systems improve safety, increase operational tempo and reduce reliance on manual handling. Hammerstone’s autonomous solutions are engineered for deployability, interoperability and sustainment, ensuring they can be integrated into real-world logistics operations.
Hammerstone’s autonomous sustainment strategy centres on three functions: Refuel (MARS — Mobile Autonomous Refuelling System, demonstrated at LAST-D and in operational use at 1st Armoured Regiment), Rearm (ARMHS — Automated Resupply Mechanical Handling System, DIH, demonstrated autonomous loading of 155mm ammunition), and Reload (payload replenishment for autonomous platforms). MARS integrates with ReadyFleet™ to provide fuel distribution visibility in the Logistics Common Operating Picture.
Hammerstone delivers Integrated Product Support to ensure capabilities are designed, delivered and sustained for long-term performance. IPS integrates engineering, logistics, reliability and sustainment planning across the full lifecycle, from concept through operation and upgrade. By embedding supportability from the outset, Hammerstone helps organisations improve readiness, reduce through-life cost and manage sustainment risk in demanding environments.
Hammerstone delivers all 12 IPS elements — from product support management and supportability engineering through RAM analysis, LSA (FMECA, RCM, FRACAS), supply support (OPUS10), maintenance planning, technical data (S1000D) and sustaining engineering (S3000L, S4000P). The key differentiator is digital integration: where ReadyFleet™, HUMS and VIMS are deployed, IPS outputs connect to live asset data — enabling CBM+ rather than static time-based maintenance planning.
Hammerstone supports asset management by connecting physical assets, digital systems and sustainment processes into a coherent operating model. By integrating condition, usage, location and support data, Hammerstone helps organisations understand what assets they have, how they are performing and what they will need next.
Asset management at Hammerstone means knowing the state of your fleet across three dimensions simultaneously: what condition assets are in (from HUMS and VIMS), where assets are and what is happening to them in transit (from D-JMILS and ITV), and what support they need and when (from IPS and CBM+ analysis). ReadyFleet™ integrates these data streams into a single Logistics Common Operating Picture — enabling asset management decisions based on real data rather than periodic stocktakes and manual reports.
Effective asset management enables:
Logistics C4I is the integration of logistics data into command and control decision-making. It enables commanders and planners to understand not just where forces are, but what they can sustain, for how long, and at what risk — turning logistics into an active enabler of operations.
Hammerstone delivers Logistics C4I as an integrated capability, not a standalone system. Rather than replacing existing enterprise or command systems, Hammerstone focuses on connecting, augmenting and enhancing them to deliver real operational value.
Hammerstone’s approach includes:
Hammerstone enables Logistics C4I through complementary capabilities:
Together, these capabilities reduce manual reporting, improve asset accountability, enable shared logistics awareness and support command-level decision-making.
Logistics C4I connects to existing command systems rather than replacing them. Hammerstone integrates with Systematic SitaWare Battle Management Software to put logistics insight into the operational picture where commanders make decisions. TAK integration extends this to the tactical edge, delivering relevant logistics information directly to users operating in degraded or disconnected environments.
Logistics C4I was proven and demonstrated in coalition operations at Project Convergence Capstone 5 (2025) — integrating with Australian, US and UK logistics and command systems, operating across Systematic SitaWare BMS, in a DDIL environment. Logistics C4I was demonstrated as practically viable in coalition contexts, not just a theoretical concept.

Hammerstone’s capability stack covers ten areas: Sense and Respond Logistics (the strategic operating model), Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM+), Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS), Vehicle Information Management Systems (VIMS), In-Transit Visibility (ITV), Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) and Unique Identification (UID), Autonomous Systems (Rearm, Refuel, Reload), Integrated Product Support (IPS), Asset Management, and Logistics C4I. These capabilities are delivered through digital platforms, systems engineering and lifecycle support — across Defence, mining, oil and gas and critical infrastructure.
Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM+) replaces fixed maintenance schedules with decisions driven by real asset condition and usage data. Hammerstone delivers CBM+ by connecting HUMS and VIMS data from platforms through ReadyFleet™ for analysis, then using IPS disciplines to translate those signals into maintenance task recommendations and spares forecasting. Hammerstone developed a CBM software system (CBMSS) integrating HUMS data with SAP for Defence — demonstrating CBM+ at fleet management scale.
Logistics C4I is the integration of logistics data into command and control decision-making. It ensures commanders and planners understand not just where forces are, but what they can sustain, for how long, and at what risk — turning logistics into an active enabler of operations.
Hammerstone delivers Logistics C4I by integrating ReadyFleet™ logistics data with existing command systems — including Systematic SitaWare (proven at PC-C5 with AUS, US and UK forces) and TAK for tactical-edge delivery. The result is logistics visibility within the operational picture, where command decisions are actually made.
Yes. Hammerstone designs and integrates Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) and Vehicle Information Management Systems (VIMS) for Defence platforms. HUMS captures sensor and telemetry data from assets to identify emerging issues early and support predictive maintenance. VIMS contextualises vehicle usage, performance and condition at the fleet level. Hammerstone has developed HUMS and VIMS for the LAND 400-3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle program, and HUMS integration is central to the CBMSS (DIH) CBM+ platform.
No. While Hammerstone’s capabilities are proven in Defence environments, they are equally relevant to mining, oil and gas, remote infrastructure and any industrial operation where asset reliability and logistics performance are critical. CBM+, HUMS, VIMS and Asset Management are directly applicable to mining and oil and gas fleet management. ITV and AIT/UID apply to any complex supply chain. Contracted Logistics Support support remote infrastructure operations. The underlying challenges — reliability in constrained environments, logistics visibility, through-life cost management — are the same across sectors.
