Delivering Outcomes that Strengthen Canada’s National Security

S.i. Systems supported the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) in advancing the Air Force Command and Control Information System (AFCCIS)—a program central to North American Aerospace Defense Command’s (NORAD) modernization strategy.

By rapidly providing cleared IT, engineering, and program management professionals, we helped the Department of National Defence (DND) strengthen cybersecurity, modernize navigation and control systems, and keep mission-critical projects on schedule.

Challenge: Modernizing AFCCIS Under Tight Deadlines

The RCAF needed to upgrade AFCCIS, which supports tools such as the Electronic Flight Bag and secure data centre operations. Tight deadlines and limited internal resources created risk. 

To succeed, the DND required specialized staff in systems integration, cybersecurity, and lifecycle support.

Solution: Cleared Experts Driving Secure Modernization

S.i. Systems quickly deployed professionals with high-level security clearances and expertise in IT infrastructure, systems architecture, and program delivery. Our ISO-certified staffing approach ensured fast, secure, and reliable access to the right talent.
