Arcfield Canada Corp., headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, has been a trusted partner to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) for more than three decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company\u2019s impressive pedigree in providing fighter support includes more than 35 years of delivering critical services, such as full fleet supply chain and logistics management, comprehensive avionics maintenance repair, overhaul and upgrade (MRO&U), and innovative engineering solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These core capabilities, coupled with Arcfield\u2019s four technical airworthiness accreditations, ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certifications, and compliance to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) standards, ensure Canada receives the most reliable outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Arcfield has been a trusted partner and supplier of choice to all Boeing F\/A-18 users, and counts among its valued customers the armed forces of Australia, Finland, Kuwait, Malaysia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States. Arcfield is already fully integrated in the CAF system supporting the vital missions of the RCAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategic partnership<\/sup><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a critical link in the sustainment of fighter operations, Arcfield is proud to enter an exclusive partnership with OneLogistics, a valued European partner in supporting Canada\u2019s incoming Lockheed Martin F-35 fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

OneLogistics was established in the Netherlands in 2009 with a single vision: To create a company that is able to deliver optimization solutions by integrating warehousing, transport, customs, and compliance management into a control tower solution, adding the best value to the F-35 program readiness, affordability, scalability, and agility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For five years now, OneLogistics has been providing sustainment supply chain management services for all the F-35s, both based and deployed in the European region. During that period, OneLogistics has gained in-depth knowledge of the F-35 Global Support Solution (GSS). This allowed it to develop best-in-class sustainment supply chain solutions and become one of the most effective product support providers (PSP) of the F-35 program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 A proven model for F-35 sustainment<\/sup><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The partnership between Arcfield and OneLogistics will deliver a proven sustainment solution for the Canadian F-35s, based on the successful model that\u2019s been in operation in Europe since 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the first F-35 aircraft enters service in Canada, adherence to the F-35 GSS will require Canada to adopt significant changes in its in-service support philosophy and construct compared to what exists today for the Boeing CF-18. That\u2019s why Arcfield has partnered with OneLogistics, the operator of the F-35 European Regional Warehouse and the largest supply chain manager for the F-35 outside the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Arcfield will implement a tailored version of the successful OneLogistics model to deliver an immediate, reliable, and low-risk logistics readiness solution for the RCAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operational and economic benefits to Canada<\/sup><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arcfield\u2019s vision aims to address the Government of Canada\u2019s economic goals and the RCAF operational outcomes for the sustainment and logistics of the Canadian F-35 program. Arcfield can provide Canada with a turnkey solution to meet its supply chain management and logistics objectives, and contributes to the overall effectiveness of the GSS for the F-35 in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supply chain management and logistics is a core competency of Arcfield. The company can provide state-of-the-art warehousing facilities and fully integrated logistics solutions tailored to the unique requirements of Canadian F-35 operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the use of the successful OneLogistics model and leveraging Arcfield\u2019s core capability, Arcfield can provide an all-encompassing Canadian supply chain management and logistics solution. Arcfield can collaborate with the RCAF to identify strategic logistic support locations for a Canadian regional warehouse and the pre-positioned deployment support packages designed to optimize mission support across Canada\u2019s vast geography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arcfield will deliver a beneficial value proposition that will employ Canadians across several regions, specifically in the Prairies and Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arcfield advantage<\/sup><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arcfield currently provides comprehensive nose to tail supply chain management and logistics support for Canada\u2019s fleet of CF-18 fighter aircraft. The company has supported Canada\u2019s fighter fleet throughout four life extensions, demonstrating its ability to align with the changing concept of operations (CONOPS) of the fleet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Arcfield\u2019s role and scope of work has expanded under Canada\u2019s Optimized Weapon System Support (OWSS) concept to be a full in-service support performance-based contract. These roles include program management, engineering support, maintenance support, and materiel support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration strength<\/sup><\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arcfield is confident that in utilizing the proven OneLogistics model already in service throughout the European region, it can provide Canada with a sovereign regional warehouse solution to ensure reliable operational availability of Canadian F-35 equipment and materiel. An Arcfield and OneLogistics solution will assure Canada\u2019s successful transition from the CF-18 to the F-35 fleet and deliver mission-ready assets every time they are needed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
