A Tool for Simulation-Based Evaluation of Human-Driven Processes for Critical Infrastructure Operations Resiliency (HDP-CIOR Tool)

A Tool for Simulation-Based Evaluation of Human-Driven Processes for Critical Infrastructure Operations Resiliency (HDP-CIOR Tool) Project Summary The aim of this project is to develop the Human-Driven Processes for Critical Infrastructure Operations Resiliency (HDP-CIOR) Tool which will model an interactive virtual operational environment with multi-vector disruptions and present it as a serious game simulating the Protective Security posture of critical systems, infrastructure, people and processes. The purpose of the HDP-CIOR Tool is to identify potential weaknesses or limitations with existing procedures by exploring the interplay between the system and the human behaviour and [...]

Distributed multi-agent TEWA algorithms for force-level battle management: a scalable approach for real-time decision-making in dynamic combat environments

Distributed multi-agent TEWA algorithms for force-level battle management: a scalable approach for real-time decision-making in dynamic combat environments Project Summary The aim of this project is to develop and refine distributed multi-agent algorithms for Threat Evaluation and Weapon Assignment (TEWA) within a force-level battle management context. As modern combat scenarios become increasingly complex, with multiple platforms and assets operating in contested environments, there is a growing need for sophisticated, scalable solutions that can manage the real-time decision-making process across multiple agents. This project seeks to create a robust, distributed TEWA system capable of [...]

Bayesian modelling for long-term prediction of biofilm growth under environmental variability at key naval ports in Australia

Bayesian modelling for long-term prediction of biofilm growth under environmental variability at key naval ports in Australia Project Summary The aim of this project is to develop a better understanding of how environmental conditions and antifouling materials affect biofilm growth by integrating existing knowledge and real-time field data into an intelligent predictive tool. This tool will enable the assessment of treatment performance much more efficient by offering a probabilistic model which is capable of predicting biofilm growth rates on antifouling materials, under stochastic environmental conditions, and considering temporal changes in model parameters.

Evaluation of State Uncertainty for Resident Space Objects

Traditional methods for informing situational awareness of space objects struggle to account for complex factors like perturbations from external forces, non-spherical Earth effects, and uncertainties in initial state estimates. This new approach incorporates these factors into its estimation process, resulting in a more realistic and adaptable representation of uncertainty.

Sovereign manufacturing reliable defence structures by 3D metal printing and structural health monitoring

3D-printed metals that can reliably withstand extreme environments are an ongoing need for Defence and industry. Printing-induced internal defects and stresses in the metals deteriorate their strength, resulting in weakened structural integrity. This project will enable the development of advanced manufacturing processes.
