Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group's Land Capability Analysis (LCA) Future Technology Concept Exploration (FTCE) programme focusses on designing new and novel ways for Army to exploit and counter emerging technologies, and assessing the potential operational effectiveness of the conceptual and structural transformations.

The Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group Transonic Wind Tunnel (TWT) in Melbourne was built in the late 1990s and commissioned in 2000. This facility has since been used in a variety of experimental aerodynamic test campaigns to support the Australian Defence Force (ADF), particularly associated with stores clearance and aerodynamic investigations of military aircraft and missiles.

This document presents the anthropometric percentile data captured in the 2015 Anthropometric Survey of the Royal Australian Navy (ASRAN) and provides information on how to apply the data and assess designs. Additional information presented includes information on RAN secular trend, personal equipment and clothing correction factors, and other allowances that need to be considered when applying the anthropometric data.

In 2015 an Anthropometric Survey of the Royal Australian Navy (ASRAN) was conducted providing comprehensive digital and manual anthropometric data (body size and shape) that can be used for the design of vessels, equipment, and clothing. This document has used that data to develop evidence based human factors engineering design guidance that can be used to tailor design solutions to optimise the fit between the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) population and Her Majesty's Australian (HMA) Surface Ships and Submarines, and their systems, subsystems, and facilities.

A general method used to quantify uncertainty in theoretical corrections to unsteady pressure measurements through tubes is documented in this report. This method is based on a wellvalidated theoretical model, which produces a transfer function that may be used for correcting unsteady pressure measurements through an Nt number of tubes and Nv number of volumes. The uncertainty estimation methods employed are in accordance with AIAA Standards. 

Body armour is used by police and military personnel to provide passive protection of the vital organs of the thorax and abdomen against ballistic, fragmentation and stab threats. Optimising the amount of coverage provided by body armour requires consideration of the trade-off between the passive protection afforded by the armour and its potential to hinder wearers' ability to actively protect themselves.
