The Joint Direct Attack Munition - Extended Range

Andrew Snowden explains the role DST is playing in developing the JDAM-ER which is about to enter service with the RAAF.

Development of a Fast Lumped Parameter Interior Ballistic Model for the Investigation of Novel Grain Geometry Performance

The implementation of a lumped parameter interior ballistic model that incorporates a number of grain geometry form functions for different propellant types is described in this report.

Finite Element Modelling of Heat Exchange with Thermal Radiation

This report addresses the mathematical and numerical modelling of heat exchange in a solid object with the effect of thermal radiation included.

Development of a Low Strain-Rate Gun Propellant Bed Compression Test and its Use in Evaluating Mechanical Response

The mechanical integrity of the propellant bed is a key factor in safe and consistent gun performance. A low strain-rate bed compression test was developed, primarily for use at low temperatures and, in conjunction with the time-temperature superposition principle, to simulate the high strain rates that exist in the gun chamber during ignition.

Counter improvised explosive devices

During standard operations within the Middle East in 2011, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) became aware of an emerging threat in the region that was able to ruin any mariners’ day with little to no warning!

Advanced tactical booster technology

DSTG has established a strong collaborative research program with the US to progress the development of a number of tactical booster technologies for future high performance defence applications.

Threat mitigation support to national security

Our Structures Threat Analysis Team was formed in response to an urgent need to support the numerous civilian government agencies who find themselves faced with the threat of terrorist attack.

Sonar Electronics in Heavyweight Torpedoes

Australia and the United States Navy are in a partnership for the cooperative development, production, and through-life support of a replacement Heavyweight Torpedo (HWT).
