Ongoing Projects

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 [...]

Developing an underwater recharging station to maximise the endurance and mission effectiveness of autonomous / uncrewed underwater vehicles Project Summary This aim of this project is to strengthen sovereign undersea capabilities by advancing Defence Innovation Science and Technology (IS&T) in the development of underwater recharging stations with hybrid energy storage systems. This project will explore the feasibility of two different technology options for underwater recharging stations for autonomous underwater vehicles.

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 [...]
