Delivery of a space-based tactical EW sensor system to provide persistent, resilient and adaptable situational awareness. The funding provided by DIP is to support activities for Phase one of the project which will deliver the proof of concept of various subsystems.
There are significant opportunities to increase the operational capability of Australia's Future Submarine through the application of Artificial Intelligence techniques to combat system functions. This project assessed these opportunities and outlined a roadmap for the implementation of an Artificial Intelligence capability for Australia’s Future Submarine to support the broader strategic goal of SEA1000 to deliver a regionally superior submarine.
A fully operating HUMS system will provide significant cost savings in terms of real time warning on potential failure, improve preparedness of vehicle platforms for operational needs, and reduced fleet management costs. It will also significantly increase operator safety. This project builds on a body of research work by the Partners that established the theoretical feasibility of thermo-mechanical measurement to determine energy dissipated in shock absorbers.
This project seeks to develop Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) for detection, monitoring and mitigation of stress under differing states of fatigue. Validate technologies that unobtrusively measure underlying physiological and psychological responses to stress.
Passive ISAR utilises existing transmitters such as TV, radio or satellite, and addresses the challenge of combining multichannel transmissions to enhance passive ISAR imaging performance. These systems can be deployed covertly to offer improved situational awareness to Special Forces practically anywhere, paving the way for development and commercialisation of next generation situational awareness solutions of benefit across Army, RAAF and RAN.
This project developed cost-effective technologies for sensing and removal of perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) from water.
This project aimed to better understand the seakeeping performance of USVs, and from this, to develop improved autonomous seakeeping capability that would enable a USV to operate under severe sea state conditions. This capability will enhance the capacity of USVs to complete complex missions in complex environments and assist industry with developing advanced sensor payloads for USVs.
While Augmented Reality (AR) activities are increasingly important, there are certain key problems that limit the effectiveness of the technology. For example, 30-40% of the population are stereo blind, yet AR relies on stereo vision. There are open questions concerning how the conflict between AR demands and natural viewing impact spatial attention and cognitive performance, especially under fatigue. The research for this project was supported by simulation and modelling to understand risks and identify ways of realising enhanced capabilities through development of a prototype adaptive AR interface.
We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, water, sky and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
