The
bilateral collaboration will focus on cyber/electronic warfare systems,
hypersonics, naval combat systems, underwater systems, operational analysis
and quantum technology. The two sides will exchange information, staff
secondments, access to each other’s facilities and equipment, and
separate agreements on other projects. The collaboration is planned to
start from the naval combat systems analysis. According to Dr Alex Zelinsky, this is the 14th strategic collaboration agreement DST has signed with the defence industry and research sector. The Strategic Defence Objectives as set by the government and the military leadership, he said, can only be achieved with the support of the Australian defence industry to deliver innovations and research. Mr Michael Ward of Raytheon Australia said the company “is a capable submarine and ship combat systems integrator with a proven record, and they are all placed to understand the practical benefits to complex programme management that this modelling could bring to platform sea trials.” |
