# Competitor profile: Response Arc Ltd

## Overview

Response Arc Ltd is a venture-funded company headquartered in the United
Kingdom, with approximately 45 employees. Its product, Arc Dispatch,
produces rule-based dispatch recommendations that an operator must confirm
before acting on them.

## Positioning

Response Arc positions Arc Dispatch as a decision-support layer for
dispatch, rather than as an operational-picture product in its own right.
Their recent partnership with Skarv Aerospace, one of our own OEM partners,
puts them adjacent to a platform we depend on for run-time licence revenue.

## Verified facts

- Skarv Aerospace and Response Arc announced a partnership in May 2026 to
  explore integrating Arc Dispatch with the Kestrel Ground Control Station.
  The announcement describes the partnership as exploratory, with no
  commercial terms agreed. [PRESS-013]
- Response Arc achieved ISO 27001 certification in August 2026, covering the
  development and hosting of Arc Dispatch. [PRESS-025]

## Unverified notes

- An undated reseller slide describes Arc Dispatch as offering "autonomous
  dispatch". The term is not defined on the slide.
- Sector trade media has speculated that Response Arc has been selected by
  NCPA for Northstar Rescue 2026. [Nordic Public Safety Wire, PRESS-024]

## Internal assessment

Our assessment is that Arc Dispatch's dispatch-recommendation focus has
limited direct overlap with our operational-picture focus. We are watching
the Skarv partnership because it could place Response Arc within a partner
platform that contributes run-time licence revenue.

## Open questions

- Does the Skarv–Response Arc exploration become a commercial integration?
- Will Response Arc correct the "autonomous dispatch" description?
- What is the actual source behind the NCPA selection speculation?
