RTM322 Engine Bearing Red Substance Contamination and Corrosion Investigation

The Navy Aviation Systems Program Office (NASPO) requested DST analyse a red substance that had been identified around bearings in the lubrication system of several RTM322 engines.

An Investigation into RAN Ship Structural Life-of-Type Management without Hull Monitoring Systems

In this report we describe a preliminary study on the considerations, assumptions, and options for managing the structural Life-of-Type (LOT) of new Royal Australian Navy (RAN) ships.

Defence scientists Dr James Brooks and Daniel Butler have come a long way in a short time at DST, and both have been lauded for their outstanding early career achievements.

A Study of Relativistic Bounds on Clock Synchronisation on Earth

In this report we investigate the extent to which a high-precision clock might be able to synchronise another to its own time, when they are part of a network that requires time-stamping events to a very high precision.

Verification of LC-MS Method Suitability for Application to OPCW Proficiency Testing

In this report, the work undertaken in verifying the limit of detection (LOD) of a Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry method for application in OPCW proficiency tests is presented.

Advanced Materials and Manufacturing – Implications for Defence to 2040

The Emerging and Disruptive Technology Assessment Symposium (EDTAS) series is a technology foresighting program under the Next Generation Technologies Fund designed to provide key insights and information on emerging and potential technologies over the longer term.  In November 2017, DST joined with Noetic Group and the University of Melbourne to hold an EDTAS on Advanced Materials and Manufacturing.
