Defence

Translating excellence in engineering research and training into strategic defence advantage for Australia and its allies.

We are strongly committed to working with our Defence partners in industry and government to ensure the safety and prosperity of Australia. Defence technologies are advancing at an enormous rate, and it is critical to ensure that technologies, processes and tools remain ahead of the state-of-the-art to prevent technological surprise. Through our many partnerships, our world-class researchers are leading fundamental and applied research programs across a broad range of disciplines, including:

  • Advanced sensors and photonics
  • Computer engineering
  • Networks, communications, cyber
  • Robotics and machine learning
  • Computational design and engineering
  • Materials design and modelling
  • Medical devices and technology

Each of these areas has a substantial track record of existing and past projects which have delivered tangible outcomes for our research partners – in most cases unique and exciting sovereign capabilities.
