Join Australia's brightest and most innovative scientists, engineers and cyber specialists at the forefront of international defence research.

This research is developing a novel tool to objectively evaluate and monitor how brain chemistry changes under traumatic stress.

DST provides cutting edge material solutions for the ADF's current air fleet and develops new fit-for-purpose materials for future aerospace programs.

DST applies the science and technology of sensors, intelligent processing and electromagnetic interactions to weapons and tactical systems to deliver a warfighting capability edge.

DST research and innovation in modelling, simulation, analysis and experimentation is aimed at providing a tactical performance advantage for the ADF in complex contested environments.

High-power radio-frequency (HPRF) directed energy weapons (DEW) intentionally aims to couple electromagnetic energy into the circuitry of targeted electronic hardware at sufficient levels to cause operational disruption or damage.

DST researchers are looking to fuse imagery from modern infrared sensors and laser detection and ranging (LADAR) sensors to obtain high accuracy threat recognition for efficient countermeasure response.

DST's energetic systems and effects research program enables critical science and technology to enhance, shape and transform ADF warfighting capability.

DST is undertaking a research program to develop and demonstrate the technologies required to conduct full-scale fatigue testing of helicopters.

Distributed transmit beamforming is an area of research that aims to enhance wireless network performance through cooperation of multiple radios.
