An Intermittent Sensor versus a Target that Emits Glimpses as a Homogenous Poisson Process

This technical note considers a sensor that alternates randomly between working and broken versus a target that reluctantly gives away glimpses as a homogenous Poisson process.

An Evidential Network Approach Applied to Threat Evaluation in Above Water Warfare

This report is a review of the application of an Evidential Network, with the objective to develop a tactical decision aid for use in real-time above water warfare (AWW).

Benchmarking the AMC Cavitation Tunnel for Hydrodynamic Measurements on Submarine Models with CFD Determined Blockage Corrections

The widely studied generic submarine hull form SUBOFF is used to benchmark the use of the Australian Maritime College's cavitation tunnel for hydrodynamic measurements on submarine models in this report.

Methods of Designing and Feeding Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic Slotted Waveguide Antenna Arrays

This report describes the ongoing development of the Slotted Waveguide Antenna Stiffened Structure (SWASS) technology during the period 2010 to 2012.

Evaluation of a Distributed Fibre Optic Strain Sensing System for Full- Scale Fatigue Testing

This report details an experimental comparison between the performance of conventional electrical resistance foil strain gauges and a commercially available fibre optic distributed strain measurement system based on Rayleigh scattering. 

Comparative Field Evaluation of the In-service and Prototype Modular Mission Adaptive Combat Ration Packs

In this report a side-by-side comparison with in-service CRP, a nutrient optimised modular MA CRP design is fielded with dismounted infantry personnel to assess fitness-for-purpose and utilisation over a 6–day use period.

High Range Resolution Backscatter Sounder Ionograms

This paper describes methods used for high range resolution processing (6.1 km for 3 frequencies per 100 kHz) of the same raw data including superior radio frequency interference rejection.

Flow Visualisation Around a Hemispherical Protuberance in the DST Group Water Tunnel

The flow structures around a hemispherical protuberance were studied using dye-injection flow visualisation in the DST Group Water Tunnel. A 100 mm diameter hemisphere was placed in a laminar oncoming boundary layer, and video imaging of the dye streamlines were captured at diameter-based Reynolds numbers of 6:91 x 10^3 and 1:15 x 10^4. The observations generally agree well with previous studies, while analysis of the video footage has provided additional insight into the evolution of the unsteady flow field.

Adversarial Machine Learning for Cyber Security: NGTF Project Scoping Study

This report is the result of a scoping study undertaken as part of an Australian Department of Defence Next Generation Technologies Fund (NGTF) project entitled Adversarial Machine Learning for Cyber- Security (AMLC).

Current Position of Equipped Anthropometric Data Research for the Australian Warfighter and Future Areas of Work – December 2016

Traditional anthropometric data are typically gathered from semi-nude subjects; therefore it is important, when required, to apply a correction factor to include additional size which would be introduced by the clothing or equipment worn by the subject. The Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group identified the need to supplement anthropometric data from the Australian Warfighter Anthropometric Survey (AWAS) with Personal Equipment and Clothing Correction Factors (PECCFs) to ensure a more realistic representation of the equipped soldier. A program of work has been conducted by DST Group to develop PECCFs as well as the methodology used to collect PECCFs. The intention of this document is to provide a summary of the work that has been conducted to-date and identify future areas of work/collaboration in equipped anthropometry.
