Funding call: Centre for Advanced Defence Research in Robotics and Autonomous Systems
Funding call: Centre for Advanced Defence Research in Robotics and Autonomous Systems. Grant funding of up to $160,000 is available to researchers from Australian Universities to conduct a literature review. Applications due by Monday 30th September 2024 @ 17:00 ACST
CADR-RAS 2024 Showcase
Last week, the Centre for Advanced Defence Research - Robotics and Autonomous Systems (CADR-RAS) hosted its 2024 Showcase in Adelaide. The event brought together leading researchers from 11 participating universities, Defence researchers and Defence force personnel.
Human integrated sensor system program
Sometimes it is not possible to identify in advance if there are chemical or biological agents present in an area.
Drone-borne gamma ray sensors
In a CBRN attack, our defence forces must be able to accurately assess a battle space for radiation and other toxic substances.
Simultaneous location and mapping in autonomous vehicles
Robotic and autonomous vehicles are valuable defence assets as they can undertake operations which present increased risks to personnel, such as entering contested or contaminated areas where they can gather information, or act as relay points for communication systems.

Building successful hybrid human/AI teams
As we increasingly embed Artificial Intelligence (AI) into defence capabilities, we must understand how AI agents and humans can work together.
Contextual awareness training for autonomous systems
Many algorithms used to train autonomous systems are based on variations of existing thresholds rather than truly unexpected new data.

Increasing space domain awareness
There are thousands of satellites operating in the Earth’s orbit, some of which provide communications, navigation and other critical functions to our defence and security forces.
Next generation high energy, high repetition lasers
Ultrashort and shortpulse lasers (USPL) are driving substantial innovations in a range of sectors including defence, medicine and remote sensing.
