DSTG is leading an international collaboration that has conducted world-first full-scale experiments to investigate how aged warheads respond to external stimuli such as shock and bullet impact.
Propulsion and energy
Our propulsion and energy research covers engine, drive-system technologies and power systems for land, air, maritime and space platforms.
Efficient power systems involves fuels, batteries, materials, other devices, architectures and power management to increase efficiency and power density for platforms, facilities and reduce weight for personal power.
Engine and drive-system technologies incorporates hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, combustion research activities.
This area also captures research into energy security which involves alternative and renewable energy sources, future alternative fuels and resilient power networks and systems.
