Technical note
This provides a means of predicting the response of a building to an explosive blast load where the building is composed of Australian standard size red bricks or bluestone blocks using the Vulnerability Assessment and Protection Options (VAPO) software..
Research report
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.
Technical report
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,
Technical note
This report fully details the techniques involved in the modelling of a nonlinear and bi-axial vibration energy harvesting device.
Technical report
In this report, the missile-target engagement problem is analysed. Two models commonly used for intercept engagment studies are investigated.
Technical note
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.
Technical report
This paper describes the Logic, Assumptions and Risks Framework (LARF) developed by DSTO to establish a mechanism to improve the analysis, transparency and decision paths that underpin planning and evaluation.
Technical report
This report provides an athropometric specification that can be used to support vehicle acquisitions and upgrades when no suitable data on the relevant ADF population is available.
Technical report
This report focuses on understanding the characteristics of sea-spikes as they are often the cause of false detections in a radar processor.
