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.

Development of Photon Doppler Velocimeter for Explosives Research

This report describes the development of a Photon Doppler Velocimeter (PDV) and an application of it to the measurement of the velocity of steel shocked by detonating a PE4 explosive charge.

Preliminary Investigation of Standoff Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy of Metallic Samples

This report describes a series of experiments in which initial attempts to perform Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) over moderate standoff distances were undertaken.

Integrated Navigation, Guidance, and Control of Missile Systems: 3-D Dynamic Model

In this report a 3-D mathematical model for multi-party engagement kinematics is derived suitable for developing, implementing and testing modern missile guidance systems.

Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM)

The Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) is a medium-range weapon that uses terminal semi-active radar homing guidance.

AT-MURLIN

The Advanced Tactical - MUlti-band Research Laser INfrared (AT-MURLIN) forms a core part of a technology being developed to protect Defence aircraft against infrared-guided missile attack, which it does by jamming the guidance system of such missiles with pulses of infrared laser light.

Cormorant Mine Lift Bag

Named after the wading bird, the Cormorant Lift Bag was designed to recover explosive mines remotely and safely from the sea.

WREMAPS laser terrain optical equipment

Australian defence scientists were pioneers in applying laser to terrestrial mapping.

Ikara

Ikara was an Australian-designed ship-borne long-range anti-submarine guided weapon that was developed for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and achieved international recognition.
