This report documents the outcomes of an investigation into the utility of Augmented Reality (AR) for Land Logistics and Combat Service support, under Defence Science and Technology Group’s 2016/17 Summer Vacation Placement program.

This study characterised a selection of dirt, dust and volcanic ash samples in order to assess their potential for causing engine degradation.

Epoxies are the most widely used resins for bonded composite repair; however they possess low fracture toughness, impact strength and peel strength due to high cross linking densities. In this work, the impact of two commercially available tri-block copolymers on the mechanical performance of two different low temperature cure epoxy resin systems are evaluated.

Anomaly detection is the process by which low probability events are automatically found against a background of normal activity. This report discusses an algorithm that generates a set of states that ensure that low probability data values can be represented.

The Estimote Location Beacon^TM is the latest addition to the Hybrid.Beacon DST Group project. This Technical Note will focus on one of the Beacon’s sensors, its ambient light capability.

This report seeks to redress this and provide an overview reference document for armour designers and armoured vehicle capability acquisition and quality assurance engineers.

This report provides an overview of battery technologies and related issues relevant to their use in military land vehicles.

Using a custom-written FORTRAN computer program, interfaced with an existing two-dimensional boundary element fracture analysis code, the present report provides an extensive set of Beta factor solutions covering a wide range of hole offsets and crack lengths. This work has also led to the derivation of an improved closed-form analytical two-dimensional Beta factor solution for the related case of symmetrical cracks emanating from a central hole in a finite-width strip.

These Research Notes form part of a series of notes extracted from work undertaken by Innovation Science in the establishment of Openness and Evolvability assessment Methods and Processes. This set of Research Notes focusses on Documentation Quality Assessment. This work was undertaken from the late 1990s to 2007 and focussed on the application to Submarine Combat Systems.

This report presents a new approach for biofouling prevention, in which a UV light emitting layer is applied on exposed underwater surfaces for the inhibition of settling organisms.
