Hammerstone provides Contracted Logistics Support (CLS) for organisations operating in demanding environments across Defence, mining, oil and gas and critical infrastructure. Integrating logistics operations, engineering assurance, Integrated Product Support and digital insight, to keep systems operating safely, reliably and continuously where access, infrastructure and resupply are constrained. CLS means Hammerstone manages the logistics and sustainment so customers can focus on their core mission, with field-proven delivery across remote and austere environments.
Contracted Logistics Support is a model where a specialist partner takes responsibility for planning, delivering and sustaining logistics and support services on behalf of the customer. In simple terms, CLS means we manage the logistics and sustainment, so our customers can focus on their core mission or operations — whether that’s Defence capability, industrial production or remote service delivery.
CLS matters most when internal logistics models are not viable or not sufficient. Remote operations with constrained resupply. Deployed systems that must function without specialist on-call support. High-consequence environments where logistics failure has immediate operational, safety or financial impact. In these conditions, organisations need a partner who takes end-to-end accountability — not a supplier who delivers equipment and moves on.
CLS is particularly valuable in environments where logistics failure has serious consequences. Defence, mining, oil and gas and remote infrastructure operations require systems that can be deployed, operated and sustained with minimal external support. Hammerstone specialises in these conditions — integrating logistics operations, engineering assurance, safety and compliance to ensure dependable outcomes in austere environments.
Hammerstone delivers Contracted Logistics Support services purpose-built for remote, complex and high-consequence operations.
Designed for reliability, adaptability and continuity. This ensures systems are not only deployed successfully, but remain operational, supportable and safe over their full lifecycle. Our CLS approach combines:
Planning, coordination and delivery of logistics and sustainment activities — from supply chain management through to field-level operation and support of deployed systems and infrastructure.
IPS disciplines embedded into CLS delivery — supportability engineering, maintenance planning, spares management and technical data ensuring the system can be maintained, supplied and supported through life
Systems engineering and technical assurance ensuring the solution is built to survive real-world operational conditions, meets compliance requirements and performs reliably throughout its service life.
ReadyFleet™, RMAS and operational data platforms providing real-time system visibility, automated monitoring and the feedback loops that drive continuous improvement over the engagement.
Improve reliability and availability of critical assets — with a partner who takes end-to-end accountability for sustaining systems, not just supplying them.
Access specialist logistics, engineering and sustainment capability — without building and maintaining that capability in-house for engagements that don't require a permanent internal function.
Maintain continuity of service over long periods — with a partner invested in the long-term performance of the system, not just the initial delivery.
Reduce operational risk and through-life costs — by transferring logistics and sustainment responsibility to a specialist rather than managing it internally with limited resources.
Enable operations in remote or infrastructure-limited locations — with a CLS partner who has field-proven experience in exactly these environments.
Hammerstone has extensive experience supporting Defence, mining, oil and gas customers operating in geographically isolated and resource-constrained locations. Our work includes the planning, delivery and sustainment of deployable logistics and infrastructure systems that must function reliably with limited access, constrained resupply and minimal supporting infrastructure.
Hammerstone’s CLS experience includes supporting Defence programs such as the Army Aboriginal Community Assistance Program (AACAP). As part of its Contracted Logistics Support delivery, Hammerstone has designed, delivered and sustained deployable Wastewater Treatment Systems in support of Defence operations under the Army Aboriginal Community Assistance Program (AACAP). This includes the development of a militarised, 20-foot containerised Wastewater Treatment System, engineered to meet specific Defence requirements for deployability, environmental compliance, safety and ease of sustainment in remote locations. The system was designed to operate with minimal infrastructure and limited external support, providing reliable and environmentally responsible wastewater processing for deployed personnel and remote communities.
Operational use and evaluation of the system has informed continuous improvement and future capability development — demonstrating Hammerstone’s ability to deliver and sustain complex, deployable infrastructure as part of an integrated CLS solution.

ILS management, RAM and LSA analysis embedded in the World Fuel Services delivery team for the JP8190 Deployable Bulk Fuel Distribution System. Demonstrates CLS delivered as an embedded capability within a prime delivery team — not just as a prime contractor. Remote, coalition logistics context.
D-JMILS provides the in-transit visibility and digital monitoring layer that enables data-driven CLS decision-making — tracking logistics platform identity, condition and location across the supply chain. CLS engagement proof: Hammerstone designed the system to contribute to the National Logistics Support Concept and Defence logistics frameworks.
Hammerstone’s CLS services are underpinned by Integrated Product Support and systems engineering disciplines, ensuring supportability, reliability and safety are designed in from the outset.
For a CLS customer, this means the systems Hammerstone delivers are not just operationally effective at handover — they are engineered for the support environment from the start. Maintenance concepts are developed before delivery. Spares requirements are provisioned on analysis. Technical data is available from introduction to service. And the CLS engagement includes the engineering assurance to manage configuration changes and continuous improvement throughout the lifecycle.
Hammerstone’s Contracted Logistics Support capabilities are designed for environments where reliability matters and downtime is unacceptable.
These include:
By integrating engineering, logistics operations and digital insight, Hammerstone provides dependable, scalable CLS solutions that enable organisations to operate confidently, no matter how remote or challenging the environment.
Contracted Logistics Support is a model where a specialist partner takes responsibility for planning, delivering and sustaining logistics and support services on behalf of the customer. In simple terms, CLS means we manage the logistics and sustainment, so our customers can focus on their core mission or operations — whether that’s Defence capability, industrial production or remote service delivery. Support can range from targeted assistance through to full end-to-end responsibility.
Hammerstone CLS is tailored to each engagement and can include: operation and sustainment of equipment, systems and infrastructure; maintenance, repair and technical support; supply chain and spares management; logistics planning and coordination; support for deployed, remote and high-risk environments; and through-life support and continuous improvement. Underpinning all CLS delivery is Hammerstone’s integrated approach: logistics operations, engineering assurance, Integrated Product Support and digital insight working together.
No. While Hammerstone’s CLS capability is proven in Defence environments — including four AACAP deployments across remote Australian communities — the same approach applies to mining, oil and gas, remote infrastructure and any industrial operation where logistics failure has serious consequences and systems must function in geographically isolated, resource-constrained conditions. The environments are different; the challenges of remote, austere and high-consequence logistics are the same.
Standard logistics contracting typically covers supply and transport. Hammerstone CLS goes further — embedding Integrated Product Support disciplines (maintenance planning, spares management, technical data), systems engineering assurance and digital monitoring into the CLS engagement from the outset. This means the systems delivered are engineered for supportability, the maintenance concept is validated before deployment, and operational data from ReadyFleet™ and RMAS drives continuous improvement throughout the engagement rather than after it ends.
Hammerstone’s primary CLS product is the Modular Wastewater Treatment System (WTS) — field-proven across four remote deployments in support of the Australian Army’s AACAP programme from 2019 to 2026. Hammerstone also provides CLS-aligned ILS and sustainment support for deployable fuel distribution systems and logistics infrastructure. For organisations needing deployable, self-contained systems that can be operated and maintained with minimal infrastructure and technical overhead, the WTS is Hammerstone’s proven CLS platform.
