Acoustic materials researcher Dr Gleny Chirima hopes to make our submarines disappear. In her recently-announced Chief Defence Scientist Fellowship, Dr Chirima will investigate an innovative layered viscoelastic coating that could dramatically reduce the signature of undersea vehicles.
Dr Chirima has Masters and PhD qualifications related to polymer materials and composites, and is a member of DSTG's Acoustic Materials research domain which focuses on making undersea vehicles stealthier.
What is the optimal way to generate and share contextual observations among team members? That's one of the interesting questions being explored by a Defence Science-University of Adelaide team.
Defence scientist Dr Bin Lee has completed a year-long posting to Quebec to conduct camouflage pattern research with Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) counterparts. The work was a contribution to our longstanding bilateral S&T collaboration in Camouflage Pattern Generation and Soldier Signature Modelling and Simulation.
Oliver Loewenthal is spending six months with DSTG as part of the Navy Civilian Engineer Development Program (NCEDP). NCEDP is a three-year, six rotation Defence graduate program run out of Directorate of Navy Engineering (DNE).
A DSTG team of cyber professionals including several new graduates were part of an Australian team which recently battled the world's toughest hackers in a bid to defend the fictional country of Berylia.
Over the last four years, Dr Stephen Sun has become DSTG's resident subject matter expert in the assessment of the quality, and hence reliability, of aerospace components fabricated using additive manufacturing. Learn more about this exciting area of research.
Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility's Space Irradiation Beamline (HIAF-SIBL), hosted at the Australian National University, has played a vital role in an exciting first for the Australian space industry: the first time that Australian space radiation testing has been done on an Australian space payload.
Since their discovery in 2011, self-healing vitrimer polymers have been shown to address the limitations of both thermoset and thermoplastic materials. It’s an application that is not well understood and offers exciting opportunities for Defence.
Following the rapid integration of extant Australian technology over the last year, a team comprising DSTG and Australian academic and industry partners, supported by the SmartSat CRC, recently demonstrated an advanced 'push to talk' voice over satellite system.
Defence scientist Dr Joe Fabrizio, who leads DSTG's research in radio frequency (RF) sensing and electronic warfare, says his team is implementing a bold new vision for the Sensor & Trials Facility (STF) as a collaborative hub with a permanent trials network at its nucleus.
