Abstract
CONTENTS: Better hunting skills for new torpedo - DSTO is participating in a research program with the US Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) to develop a new heavyweight torpedo for the US and Australian navies. Taking minutes by digital secretary - Information and communications applications are being harnessed in new ways to give people at different locations the ability to work together more effectively with increased efficiency in both civilian and military contexts. Many-faceted protection for the Chinook - A number of research projects have been conducted by DSTO on countermeasures applications to protect the Australian Army CH-47D Chinook against missile attack. Australian innovation part of JSF development - DSTO and Australian industry are playing a key role in the development of the future US combat aircraft, the Joint Strike Fighter. LiveSpaces: intuitive workplaces of tomorrow - The advent of the automated digital minute-taker is fast approaching for the Australian Defence Force, with new speech recognition applications being readied for use by DSTO. The result is Multi-Speak.

DSTO has been carrying out studies on crewing options before the new refuellers enter service in 2009. High-cycle fatigue predictions for gas turbine engines - DSTO is carrying out research on blisks (bladed disks) in new generation aircraft engines to develop predictive models of high-cycle fatigue (HCF) problems.
