Army MakerSpace About MakerSpace Makerspace is an Army initiative providing a place for learning-by-making and education in innovative approaches, creative thinking, and agile methodologies. All Army personnel are invited to join their local community of makers to gain a professional toolbox of problem-solving techniques to tackle Army’s current and emerging challenges. Makerspace is part of The Robotic and Autonomous Systems Implementation & Coordination Office (RICO) within Future Land Warfare Branch and …

‘Army’s Role in Train, Advise and Assist Missions’ Australia’s strategic environment is complex, increasingly contested and rapidly evolving. Major power competition, militarisation, disruptive technological change and other evolving threats pose challenges to Australia’s national security. These developments test Army’s capacity to generate highly trained, disciplined and fit tactical units; preserve its capacity to operate within the integrated force; while simultaneously delivering Army forces in …

Power and Energy As technology proliferates in the modern battlespace, the demand for power and energy is changing. The explosion in microelectronics, sensors and computing is driving unprecedented levels of energy dependence and demand. There’s a wide range of emerging technology in the power and energy space that will impact most of Army’s systems. This includes deployable infrastructure, land platforms and soldier worn combat systems. Exploiting this technology can improve supply chain performance, …
Army uses radar in a variety of ways, including mobile radar systems to detect and target land and air threats, such as enemy artillery fire, planes and tanks. As military technology evolves and threats diversify, Army wants to know if quantum microwave sensors can enhance existing radar systems to detect smaller and weaker scattering targets that are moving faster and are further away, while emitting less power. Quantum sensors operate completely differently to existing sensors. Finding the optimal …

Quantum Next Generation (QNG) 2021 Quantum Camouflage Challenge QNG21 was the first in a regular series of technology challenges involving Australia’s talented postgraduate students, early career researchers, and early-stage start-up entrepreneurs. Army understands that this next generation will ultimately drive the growth of Australia’s quantum industry and deliver Army the sovereign quantum advantage it desires. QNG21 aimed to embolden, orientate, network and develop this next generation while solving an …

The Quantum Next Generation Challenge series engages the next generation of quantum thinkers . Australia is faced with the strategic challenge of converting its global leadership in quantum technology research into sustainable industrial and defence advantage. The Army Quantum Technology Roadmap outlines how we aim to build sovereign capability and leverage Australian research to gain and retain an early quantum advantage. As part of this journey, Army is challenging Australian industry and academia …
Trials of the electric Protected Mobility Vehicle (ePMV) have demonstrated multiple potential benefits of electric propulsions. Some of these benefits include; Superior Signature Management Tactical Agility Greater Flexibility to Export Electrical Energy Reduced Demand on the Supply Chain … Potential Benefits of Electric …
Army Research Scheme The 2023 Army Research Scheme will open soon on AusTender . Army’s research areas of interest are wide ranging and include social, cultural and organisational topics. The broad scope of Army’s interests is outlined in the Army Futures Research Framework . Army Research Scheme outputs are primarily stand-alone occasional papers (up to 20,000 words), although shorter and longer papers will be considered where value-for-money is established. Army will facilitate publication of research …

Through the Army Research Scheme (ARS) , the Australian Army Research Centre contracts researchers within Defence and from think tanks, academics and independent scholars annually to undertake research on priority topics identified by Army. To that end, researchers are invited to apply for funding to address one of the 2023 ARS questions identified in the Army Futures Research Framework. Research funded under the ARS will be considered for publication in the peer reviewed Australian Army Journal, Army …

Robotic and Autonomous Systems Robotic and Autonomous Systems (RAS) will change future battlespaces and the way Army trains and fights. Army’s 2022 RAS Strategy outlines how we will explore ways we team up with machines and systems through three themes; intelligent machine, machine to machine teaming, and human to machine teaming. The benefits of RAS technology include maximising soldier performance, improving decision making, generating mass and scalable effects, protecting the force and operational …
