A trusted advisor to the Australian Defence Force since 2010, SPA supports the Royal Australian Navy, the Royal Australian Air Force, the Australian Army, the Joint Force, and the Defence Space Command with unique expertise and analytical tools.

This state-of-the-art facility at 6 Brindabella Circuit includes a classified analytics lab enabling the full suite of SPA modeling and analysis tools to be used locally in support of Australian clients. The facility anchors SPA’s presence in Canberra as it continues to expand its team of Australian employees and Australian Defence Force veterans with backgrounds in science, engineering, and business.

SPA President Terry Benedict attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new office. Benedict, a retired US Navy Vice Admiral, commented, “I was honored to be among so many distinguished friends, colleagues, and business associates as we marked the opening of this game-changing space. I look forward to many continued successes of our SPA Australia team of experts bringing high quality, high impact decision support to our current and future Australian clients.”

SPA has invested significantly in standing up the Canberra office including information and communications technology in support of business expansion with the Australian Department of Defence. SPA CEO Rich Sawchak commented, “We are proud of our Australian business and the impact we have had on important strategic decisions since we began our partnership in 2010.  We will continue to invest in our operations in Canberra as a key part of our global business strategy.
