Five regions in Northern Australia were analysed and a dataset for the land backscatter coefficients was collated. The data analysis involved comparing the difference between observed backscatter ionograms (plots of the return power as a function of group range and frequency) and synthesised ionograms.

The Navy Aviation Systems Program Office (NASPO) requested DST analyse a red substance that had been identified around bearings in the lubrication system of several RTM322 engines.

In this report we describe a preliminary study on the considerations, assumptions, and options for managing the structural Life-of-Type (LOT) of new Royal Australian Navy (RAN) ships.

In this report we propose a concept for a casualty evacuation stretcher with continuous monitoring and automated care functionality.

The Australian Federal Police (AFP), Facial Identification - Specialist Operations Branch, commissioned the Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group to develop and deliver a training course for staff working in the forensic facial comparison domain.

The present report expands on the analysis of the loading from a buried improvised explosive device (IED) for a variety of sands and soils, where it was considered for only dry calcite sand in a previous DST report.

Satellite communication, navigation, surveillance and meteorology services are key enablers for the ADF's battlefield awareness and air and missile defence

A suitable model of the return ground clutter is required to help assess the performance of over-the-horizon radar. Currently, models for the clutter reflected from the sea exist but there are no models for the backscatter from land. The backscatter coefficient, which characterises the backscattered power, can be determined by considering the difference between observed backscatter ionograms and synthesised ionograms.

This report describes the design of a high performance high frequency (HF) active antenna starting from the antenna rod and finishing with the output buffer stage which drives the co-axial transmission line feeding a receiver.

In this report the development and verification of the Bistatic Radar Concept Demonstrator (BiRCD) system within the Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems Branch (SRS) is described.
