Inspiration, journey, workforce, and experiences. Join us in the hangar as we chat to Warrant Officer of the Air Force Ralph Clifton about what inspired and influenced him, his journey to where he is today, and what superhero he would be.

Workforce, culture, leadership, identity and connection. Join us in the hangar as we chat to Chief of Air Force Air Marshal Rob Chipman, AM, CSC, about his journey to becoming Chief of Air Force, his experiences in the role and the future.

In this talk, we present initial findings of the world-first airborne Neuromorphic Event Based Sensor (EBS) on-board the Defence Experimentation Airborne Platform for enhancing remote sensing for urban and maritime surveillance.

This presentation will discuss the rationale behind the need for alternative jet fuels, the advantages/challenges associated in their uptake and the development of a modular demonstrator kit for producing ‘drop-in’ alternative jet fuels from indigenous feedstock.

This presentation will focus on small toy drones, which can be called “IEDs in the sky” and analyze the current situation in which it is becoming difficult for airbase-based warfare and traditional air defence systems to cope with.

This talk examines methods of relative orbit determination using angles-only measurements of objects in Low Earth Orbit, as exemplified using the M2 cubesat mission.

This talk will give an overview over handpicked projects on materials design, advanced microscopy and modelling of manufacturing processes for modern aerospace alloy parts. 

This presentation covers verification methods applied for low-cost satellite projects (currently 5 satellites in orbit) at UNSW Canberra Space

This presentation will explore developments in Cubesats, Space Domain Awareness, SATCOM and in-orbit artificial intelligence at the UNSW Canberra Space, which is one of the largest concentrations of space researchers in Australia with about 30 academic and professional engineering staff covering all necessary engineering disciplines and with access to the necessary facilities to enable end-to-end...

We propose to use the aerodynamic forces generated by a drone’s rotors and interactions between the air and surrounding surfaces during flight as a sensor to drive a collison avoidance algorithm causing the aircraft to pitch or roll away from nearby objects through entirely passive means.

This presentation will comprise an overview of the current status of Australia’s Hydrogen industry and will showcase selected examples of recent activities across the Mission’s pillars, including technological developments in areas relevant to innovation and resilience in air and space power.

In future high-end warfighting contingencies capability needs that are currently met in months or years must be met be within days. In this presentation, NX will share the results from an exercise in which an example high-end capability had a solution designed, produced, tested and delivered in a week.

In this presentation, CASG NX will explain how it has facilitated key Industry 4.0 changes for Defence through its Agile approach and partnerships.

This talk provides an update of the work conducted at UNSW Canberra Space to address the challenges in the LEO domain through combining light curves collected by the Falcon Telescope Network (FTN) with GPU accelerated ray tracing techniques that are benchmarked against truth data obtained from the RAAF-funded M2-A, M2-B, and M2 Pathfinder missions.

In this presentation, we discuss how to understand behaviour shaping and influence of swarm systems using livestock mustering, which can be used for smart autonomous systems design philosophy, swarm agent models, and centre of influence techniques.
