#DSTG has signed its first science and technology project arrangement with India! 🇦🇺 🇮🇳 . The inaugural #collaboration will seek to improve the early detection and tracking of submarines and autonomous underwater vehicles. Read more here:

DHSS is the key forum for sharing your ideas on applying human sciences research to enhance #Defence capability. Submissions close August 4th. Don't miss your chance to share your research. Please visit the DHHS 2025 webpage for more details -

📢 Defence Human Sciences Symposium 2025 - Call for Abstracts NOW OPEN. Are you conducting research that considers 'How human sciences research & innovation can maximise ADF resilience and readiness to gain a competitive advantage'? - Submit an abstract for #DHSS 2025!

Today we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day!. Learn more about our three #DSTG Women in STEM Ambassadors, who come from engineering backgrounds and have spent the last year raising awareness for opportunities for the future STEM force.

👏 Congratulations! Professor Simon Barter has been recognised on the world stage for a 47-year DSTG and @RMIT research career contributing to aircraft safety. 💡 ✈️ . The Plantema Medal is a fitting honour for a globally respected leader in the science of metal fatigue.

💡 The theme for DHSS 2025 is: Human as a Capability - Delivering Faster, Better, Longer Effects through Human Sciences Research and Innovation. Watch this space - further details to be released.

📢 Save the date, the Defence Human Sciences Symposium (DHSS) is back in 2025!. 📆 02-04 December 2025.📍 University of Western Australia, Perth

@AusAirForce Canada’s proposed plans to purchase #JORN for its Arctic defence is a testament to Australia’s ability to produce high-class and high-value OTHR radar capability. Find out more:

AU 🇦🇺 is leading the way in over-the-horizon radar systems thanks to over 50 years of deep collaboration between defence scientists, industry and #YourADF. #JORN, operated by @AusAirForce, grew from humble origins in DSTG to be the finest operational OTHR network in the world.

@AustralianArmy This ground-breaking project will enhance #YourADF’s ability to operate in contested battlespaces, as the quantum link will allow for more robust and secure timing between Defence assets. ➡️ Read more here:

⚛️ We are excited to announce a new cutting-edge #quantum research project for #DSTG!. Funded by the @AustralianArmy, this innovative project aims to deliver one of the hardest components of a quantum-secure timing network – a ground-to-satellite optical quantum link!
