Economical Technologies for the Detection and Remediation of Water Contaminated with Perflourinated Substances
This project developed cost-effective technologies for sensing and removal of perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) from water.
Developing Autonomous Seakeeping Capability for Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV)
This project aimed to better understand the seakeeping performance of USVs, and from this, to develop improved autonomous seakeeping capability that would enable a USV to operate under severe sea state conditions. This capability will enhance the capacity of USVs to complete complex missions in complex environments and assist industry with developing advanced sensor payloads for USVs.
Realising the Benefit of Augmented Reality (AR) Devices in Military Applications
While Augmented Reality (AR) activities are increasingly important, there are certain key problems that limit the effectiveness of the technology. For example, 30-40% of the population are stereo blind, yet AR relies on stereo vision. There are open questions concerning how the conflict between AR demands and natural viewing impact spatial attention and cognitive performance, especially under fatigue. The research for this project was supported by simulation and modelling to understand risks and identify ways of realising enhanced capabilities through development of a prototype adaptive AR interface.
Identifying Combat and Combat-Related Stigma Through The Language of a Deployed Australian Military Population
As stigma is perpetuated through communication between individuals, language use has significant ramifications. This pilot project aimed to identify the characteristics and prevalence of stigmatising language and advise how it can be changed and minimised to achieve more sustainable outcomes in recruitment, retention, combat readiness and capability.
