This report outlines the results of a scoping study, subject matter expert discussions and workshop, and use case development for automated and autonomous systems for Combat Service Support.

This report presents algorithms that can be utilized in a GPS receiver to convert satellite-to-receiver pseudo-ranges to receiver position estimates. The report discusses a method that is used to determine instantaneous estimates of receiver position and then goes on to develop three Kalman filter based estimators, which use stationary receiver, low dynamics, and high dynamics models for the receiver motion, respectively.

This report presents a new approach for biofouling prevention, in which a UV light emitting layer is applied on exposed underwater surfaces for the inhibition of settling organisms.

System(s)-of-Systems (SoS) is broadly acknowledged as an engineering challenge for defence organisations, due to high complexity of various military SoS and their development processes. This report introduces a systems thinking-based approach, SoS thinking, which offers a language and a thoughtful process to conceptualise, understand, communicate about and assess military SoS.

A systematic BHEC and fractographic study has been conducted by inspecting several hundred fastener holes in ex-service F/A-18 aircraft bulkheads, following fatigue testing. The results demonstrate that measurement of the relative phase of the eddy-current response provides additional information which can assist in discrimination between genuine cracks and mechanical damage.

The mechanical integrity of the propellant bed is a key factor in safe and consistent gun performance. A low strain-rate bed compression test was developed, primarily for use at low temperatures and, in conjunction with the time-temperature superposition principle, to simulate the high strain rates that exist in the gun chamber during ignition.
