Abstract
CONTENTS: Wet-end diagnostic system for submarine sonar - DSTO has developed a diagnostic system for Collins class submarines to keep tabs on the performance of external parts of sonar systems while submerged. Dealing with invisible forces that mess with aircraft - DSTO has developed a cutting-edge technology to test the ability of Defence aircraft to fly safely through strong electromagnetic fields. World leading research in active sensing radar - DSTO is participating with local and US partners in the development of a new kind of radar system, and the outcomes have gathered accolades internationally. North West Shelf surveillance trial a high-flying success - DSTO has led the planning and conduct of a major Defence trial to test the ability of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to carry out maritime surveillance over the strategically important energy-producing fields of Australia's North West Shelf. Easing crew fatigue at sea - DSTO studies factors affecting quality of life at sea. Taking a better look at Australia's remote boundaries - New generation high-altitude persistent surveillance systems can provide more extensive and sustained coverage of the nation's distant northern approaches, but there are technology issues to address first. Health check for tail rotor cables in helicopters - The life of a helicopter crew can hang from a cable and DSTO is working to ensure the cables remain in fine fettle.
