Game-changing is a phrase bandied about too often these days. But DST's John Taylor says it's an apt descriptor for the high performance computing (HPC) service that DST is building for Defence.

Defence scientists have enhanced a facial recognition algorithm, improving the odds of identifying someone in adverse environments such as across a distant carpark and in dark alleys.

Engaging with talented STEM students early in their studies is providing real benefits to DST.

Defence computer vision specialist Dr Victor Stamatescu has developed a computer vision algorithm that has the potential to automate post-disaster assessments and accelerate search and rescue efforts, ultimately saving lives.

Defence scientists based at DST's Scottsdale site are developing and evaluating an eat-on-the-go, supplementary food bar for the ADF, with a focus on provision of adequate energy, micronutrients and gut health.

DST researchers have undertaken research to determine how to mitigate the risk of traumatic head and neck injury to the occupants of vehicles subjected to 'underbelly' blasts.

DST scientists are supporting international efforts to obtain a total and comprehensive ban on the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons.

Just how does one build a convincing virtual landscape? Defence scientists Dr Bin Lee (LD) and Jay Yu are facing that challenge as they create a physics-based virtual landscape as part of a signature modelling and simulation research program.

Dr Olivia Samardzic has received the Public Service Medal for her contribution to providing the ADF with superior operational capability.

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.
