Read our latest news and media releases to keep track of what's happening at DSTG.
Today is World Quantum Day; a chance to celebrate the scientists, engineers and innovators turning quantum theory into real-world capability.
At Defence, we work closely with industry and university partners to develop and test quantum technologies, including world-leading quantum clocks.
Behind every breakthrough is a dedicated team of STEM professionals combining knowledge, creativity and persistence to solve complex technical challenges.
The Australian Government is investing $1.7 billion in a fleet of Australian-designed and built extra-large autonomous undersea vehicles, known as Ghost Sharks, for the Royal Australian Navy.
ADSTAR is proud to release a selection of 150 submissions received as its ADSTAR 2024 Conference Proceedings.
These papers are important in leveraging Australia's defence science community. They represent new concepts and approaches to current challenges, as well as different ideas and research that may help Defence plan for the future and explore new opportunities.
Congratulations to DSTG scientist Adjunct Prof Dr Kamal Gupta and his colleague Dr Jafar Shojaii (Macquarie University, and previously University of Melbourne and Swinburne University of Technology) who have won the 2025 Department of Defence Eureka Prize for Outstanding Science in Safeguarding Australia!
Australia is leading the way in over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) systems thanks to over 50 years of deep collaboration between defence scientists, industry and our ADF.
Buccaneer Main Mission, known as a CubeSat, is the second of two CubeSats launched under the Buccaneer project, following the successful launch of Buccaneer Risk Mitigation Mission in 2017.
Buccaneer Main Mission's objective is to collect high-frequency measurements in low-Earth orbit, to better understand radio-frequency propagation through the ionosphere.
DSTG is collaborating with the University of Adelaide, the University of South Australia and DEWC Services on new research examining autonomous command and control (C2) of drone swarms.
After spending two summer vacations working with Defence cyber specialists, University of Adelaide undergraduate Nicole Jefferies sees an exciting future for herself in the cyber domain.
Acoustic materials researcher Dr Gleny Chirima hopes to make our submarines disappear. In her recently-announced Chief Defence Scientist Fellowship, Dr Chirima will investigate an innovative layered viscoelastic coating that could dramatically reduce the signature of undersea vehicles.
Dr Chirima has Masters and PhD qualifications related to polymer materials and composites, and is a member of DSTG's Acoustic Materials research domain which focuses on making undersea vehicles stealthier.
What is the optimal way to generate and share contextual observations among team members? That's one of the interesting questions being explored by a Defence Science-University of Adelaide team.
