Australia's Chief of Air Force, Air Marshal Stephen Chappell, delivers a powerful message on why bold, continuous innovation is no longer optional - it's essential.

How do you examine the inside of a material to check for defects without damaging it? One way is by listening to its response to sound waves, and that's what mechanical engineer Hannah Spratling does in a lab at DSTG Fishermans Bend.

Natalie Withington, a molecular biologist at DSTG, is contributing to a research program that is investigating whether alternative drugs can be used as nerve agent countermeasures. This research, including the acquisition of new bio-printing equipment, is supported by Joint Health Command.

Six Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) researchers have been recognised as part of a high-performing national team supporting sovereign uncrewed aerial system (UAS) capability for the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

A new multi-state research collaboration will advance innovative waste-to-energy solutions to support Defence operations across northern Australia.

The Australian Government is investing $1.7 billion in a fleet of Australian-designed and built extra-large autonomous undersea vehicles, known as Ghost Sharks, for the Royal Australian Navy.

Congratulations to DSTG scientist Adjunct Prof Dr Kamal Gupta and his colleague Dr Jafar Shojaii (Macquarie University, and previously University of Melbourne and Swinburne University of Technology) who have won the 2025 Department of Defence Eureka Prize for Outstanding Science in Safeguarding Australia!

Australia is leading the way in over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) systems thanks to over 50 years of deep collaboration between defence scientists, industry and our ADF.

Buccaneer Main Mission, known as a CubeSat, is the second of two CubeSats launched under the Buccaneer project, following the successful launch of Buccaneer Risk Mitigation Mission in 2017.

Buccaneer Main Mission's objective is to collect high-frequency measurements in low-Earth orbit, to better understand radio-frequency propagation through the ionosphere.

DSTG is collaborating with the University of Adelaide, the University of South Australia and DEWC Services on new research examining autonomous command and control (C2) of drone swarms.
