2019 MARITIME EDITION VICTORIAN DEFENCE & MARITIME
Creating Defence Science Research Networks for Australia RESEARCH CAPABILITY Foreword
Victoria’s defence excellence and capabilities put us in an unrivalled position to support several key defence projects – be they aerospace, land, maritime, cyber or other joint systems.
In research and development (R&D), our state universities contribute almost a third of Australia’s investment in defence related research and twice as much as any other state.
Victorian R&D capabilities include advanced robotics, 3D printed explosives, high strength protective woven fabrics and enhanced radar detection and identification capabilities, chemical and biological sciences, and cyber security.
Australia is investing in defence capabilities at unprecedented levels and with this comes the need for advanced research to address defence and national security challenges.
These challenges are inherently complex, and their solutions require government, industry and universities to work together.
With internationally renowned researchers and state-of-the-art facilities, Victoria’s universities have much to offer those working on defence and national security matters.
The Victorian Government, in partnership with the Defence Science and Technology Group and the University of Melbourne, established the Defence Science Institute (DSI) in 2010 to help government and industry identify the capabilities, expertise and potential solutions held in our universities that can be directed towards future priorities.
The DSI provides a single access point for all those who wish to make use of university resources, whether they be a small business, a multinational corporation, the Commonwealth Government or one of our allies.
This directory provides an overview of many of the defence and national security-related research capabilities available within Victorian universities.
I commend the capabilities highlighted in this brochure and invite those seeking innovative solutions to complex defence and national security problems to consider partnering with Victoria’s universities.

MARITIME SIMULATOR La Trobe University and Pivot Maritime International.
20 LA TROBE UNIVERSITY
FUTURE OF VESSEL NAVIGATION AT LA TROBE UNIVERSITY
La Trobe University is conducting world-class research in the defence and maritime sector. A recent collaboration with Pivot Maritime International has further enhanced La Trobe’s research capabilities working on Realistic Maritime Simulation with a major focus on automated ship navigation. The Maritime Simulator Laboratory is located at La Trobe University’s Bundoora campus and is designed for high-level research, specialist training and operational assessment.
La Trobe Maritime Simulator Laboratory investigates and develops solutions for maritime training and on deck navigation support. Some of these include Navigation rules (Colregs) visualisation for accident prediction and avoidance, ship movement risk management and analysis, improving 3D graphics for realistic simulation, optimised vessel traffic management and much more. The Maritime Simulation Laboratory provides opportunities for further collaborations with other exciting projects happening at the University.
La Trobe’s work in advanced sensors, signal processing and big data have applications in everything from driverless transport to healthcare. Imagine an automated fleet of trucks moving produce from farm to market at the moment of harvest. The farmer, who is diabetic, has a sensor in her arm that updates her health data in real time. This lets her doctor know important information without the need for invasive techniques.
Two hundred kilometres away, a fleet of drones developed with La Trobe, fight a bushfire. Protected by a fireproof coating, the drones work as a team, using modelling, simulation and analysis techniques to predict where the blaze will go next. On the ground, an experienced firefighter helps them stay on task. Up above, DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS) provides essential intelligence to the operation.

HUMAN CENTRIC RESEARCH AT VICTORIA UNIVERSITY
Victoria University (VU) is leading the way in human centric research with broad capabilities ranging from cell biology research to human performance research. The Institute of Health and Sport (IHES) houses a $65 million facility for human biomechanical testing, motor control, exercise science and genetics testing. Further research facilities such as environmental chambers and an altitude hotel provide specialist capabilities for longitudinal experiments on human performance in various temperature, humidity and atmospheric conditions. The fully equipped $52 million state of the art laboratories at Western Centre for Health Research and Education at Sunshine Hospital, a collaboration between VU, the University of Melbourne and Western Health, is primed for biological research with work focused on development and testing of vaccines and drugs for chronic diseases from cells, animals to translational clinical research. The planned $1.5 billion Western Health, Footscray hospital opposite the VU Footscray Park campus will provide deeper integration with biomedical research focused on critical chronic diseases and disorders.
VU is fast building networks with defence, having successfully delivered projects in fire protection in submarines, human performance such as exoskeleton testing and genetics for future generation soldiers. The intrinsic focus on humans means that VU is well poised for collaborative Navy and Submarine research projects with a human focus, such as decision making in combat, team performance, mental health, diseases, human movement and human ergonomics on battle platforms. VU is a member of the recently established DST Research Network for Undersea Decision Superiority which focuses on human performance and decision making in submarines. HUMAN FOCUSED TECHNOLOGIES FOR DEFENCE Victoria University has extensive facilities for testing and assessing human performance under a wide range of conditions.

DMTC – BUILDING SOVEREIGN INDUSTRIAL CAPABILITIES
DMTC, through its industry and research partners, has a demonstrated track record in developing industrial capabilities in naval shipbuilding and associated sectors, and is well placed to provide significant expertise to a reinvigorated Australian naval and maritime sector. DMTC has a demonstrated track record of delivering a range of key production, fabrication, manufacturing and sustainment technologies.
A new contract has been signed confirming DMTC’s role as an Industrial R&D partner for the National Naval Shipbuilding Enterprise through the SEA 5000 Program Office in Defence.
Under the new contract, DMTC will produce a Naval Shipbuilding Horizon Study that will align with Defence’s existing strategy for science and technology in the maritime domain. This will reaffirm the close working relationship that already exists between DMTC and DST Group.
The Horizon Study will inform and guide the selection of projects to be delivered under DMTC’s project definition and management model.
The study will focus on technology requirements and prioritisation in areas including, but not limited to: advancing mission system technologies (examples being corrosion prognostics, composite materials and sonar among others); and industrial and supply chain developments to ensure Australian industry is equipped and competitive in supporting the sovereign national shipbuilding program.
WELDING CAPABILITY New welding techniques including wire arc welding are among the additive manufacturing technologies being advanced and adopted by industry through DMTC’s nationwide network of industry and research partners.
