Mussel growth in the internal sea water systems of Navy vessels can result in significant performance issues and biosecurity concerns for affected vessels. The study examined the effectiveness of two commercially available QAC disinfectants formulations,

This report proposes that Mobile Agent (MA) technology could provide a means to introduce new information exchange paradigms and computer automation opportunities in the battlespace. More specifically, a MA)is an agent which is able to migrate (move) from one computer to another and to continue its execution on the destination computer.

Studies investigating the operational performance of the system for surveillance of Space and the contribution it could make to the Space situational awareness mission used the System Kit Tools to develop and model of the AN/FPQ-14 C-Band radar.

Crew survival in combat vehicles that carry their propelling charges and high explosive filled projectiles inside the crew compartment in the event of of an on-board explosion was examined. In a trial with simulated vehicles and instrumented simulated personnel results indicated that the thermal and ejecta threats posed the greatest risk to crew survival.

In this report, the missile-target engagement problem is analysed. Two models commonly used for intercept engagment studies are investigated.

Results reported here relate to changes over time of physical, visual and sensory measures, providing guidance as to the anticipated shelf life of each component and the ability of products to meet the warranty requirement that components remain suitable for use following up to 24 months storage at 30 °C. Recommendations to ensure such compliance are made..

DSTO has significant full-scale, component and coupon test facilities that it uses to assess RAAF airframes. The efficient and accurate modelling of crack growth is a necessary capability for translating the test outputs into relevant life results for structural integrity management purposes. Effective Block Approach, or EBA, a characteristic block type modelling approach may offer an alternate path for conducting life assessments. This is anticipated to be particularly useful for full-scale test interpretation where the applied loading usually consists of repeating spectrum blocks.

Computational Red Teaming describes the application of new and innovative analytic techniques, tools and methodologies in support of Red Teaming activities. A framework of three key activities: Information Management; Conduct and Execution; and Scrutiny and Analysis; is developed and decomposed into constituent functions for analysis.

This report outlines experimental testing of a generic submarine model in its low speed wind tunnel, aimed at gathering steady-state aerodynamic force and moment data, and to investigate the flow-field characteristics on and around the bare-hull.

The work described in this paper applies a UPDM-based architecture development approach to capture capability development information with an emphasis on developing a fit-for-purpose visualisation to support decision-making.
