UNCLASSIFIED DST Group Partnership Week 2016 Partnership Opportunities Land Division Dr Peter Shoubridge, Chief Land Division 1

Land Division Partnerships  Success stories – Physical Employment Standards: Soldiers fit for trade tasks – Off Axis Viewing Device: Commercially successful innovation – Diggerworks: Modernisation of the Soldier Combat Ensemble  Potential Strategic Partnership opportunities in the future include – Cognitive performance & resilience – Autonomous Systems • Urban Operations with Multi-Mission Autonomous Systems • Logistics for distributed combat service support – Power and Energy – Medical countermeasures 2

 Human Performance Research network – Army and DST Group initiative [$4m over 4 years] – Forming a network of leading research teams from across Australia – Co-investment to design and implement creative research to seize and sustain an edge on the future battlefield by … Better selecting, preparing, equipping and sustaining the warfighter. 3

Combined Arms Fighting Systems Integration  Generational change in Armoured PL CAFSI Capability Land 121, Land 400, Brian Reid Land 907 over next 5 years  Transition to software defined capability and spiral upgrades 4

Potential partnership opportunities  On-board software applications  Software defined sensors & effectors  Image sensing and processing technology  Integrated survivability technologies  Human machine interactions technology  Operations enablers  Technology enablers 5
