Globally Optimal Path Planning with Anisotropic Running Costs

The control-theoretic Ordered Upwind Methods (OUM) has been employed to solve a number of simple path planning problems.

An Assessment of the Usefulness of Water Tunnels for Aerodynamic Investigations

Water tunnels have some definite advantages over wind tunnels for aerodynamic testing of models. Water tunnels are generally better suited to carrying out fundamental research than they are for applied aerodynamics testing.

This document provides a snapshot of possible directions for Centre for Food Innovation (CFI) research.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Game-Based Training: A Controlled Study with Dismounted Infantry Teams

This report describes a study conducted by DSTO scientists examining the effectiveness of a desktop computer game to train small teams of dismounted soldiers in infantry tactics, techniques, and procedures.

Literature Review on Mental Models and Linear Separability

This literature review examines research on mental models and linear separability published between 2000 and 2012.

A Demonstration using Low-kt Fatigue Specimens of a Method for Predicting the Fatigue Behaviour of Corroded Aircraft Components

Development of a Monte Carlo model of the fatigue life of corroded specimens of aluminium alloy 7010-T7651. The model simulates both the alloy’s metallurgical inclusions and corrosion pits using extreme value statistical distributions.

A Formal Integrity Framework with Application to a Secure Information ATM (SIATM)

The paper identifies research challenges in addressing data integrity and, critically, proposes a new model that captures and supports a broader range of integrity dimensions and briefly discusses a use case for the model involving an actual implementation of a security device (Secure Information ATM or SIATM).

Retrogression and Re-Ageing In-Service Demonstrator Reliability Trials: Stage III Component Test Report

Retrogression and Re-ageing (RRA) technology is a two stage heat treatment of 7075-T6 aluminium alloy used to improve corrosion resistance while retaining MIL-HDBK-5J structural properties. Trials demonstrated that the RRA process as defined in the Stage III Process Specification had a reliability in excess of 95%.

Modelling of a Bi-axial Vibration Energy Harvester

This report fully details the techniques involved in the modelling of a nonlinear and bi-axial vibration energy harvesting device.

Validation of a Pressed Pentolite Donor for the Large Scale Gap Test (LGST) at DSTO

The Australian Large Scale Gap Test (LSGT) required a new donor. The performance evaluation demonstrated that the AES donor provided a consistent velocity of detonation and detonation pressure, which is critical for LSGT.
