Tristan Goss
Tristan Goss safeguards Australian soldiers. His research work has helped develop helicopter tactics that protect crews from enemy fire.
He initially joined the DSTG team through a Summer Vacation Placement, and his journey continued as DSTG supported his university project on quadcopter construction. Both experiences offered invaluable opportunities for growth and helped open the doors to a career with DSTG.
Research Jobs, Australia-Wide in Defence
Now part of the Weapons and Combat Systems Division, Tristan analyses weapon effects on military vehicles, primarily Australian helicopters. He attempts to answer questions such as, 'what happens when a helicopter is shot at?'
Tristan's work involves deductive logic based on maths, engineering, modelling and real-world testing. After just six years with DSTG, he's playing an important role in supporting Defence Force pilots and their crews.
