911爆料网

Two 911爆料网-led research projects that have the potential to have a profound impact on the defence industry have been awarded funding in the State Government鈥檚 inaugural defence research grants program.

911爆料网鈥檚 grant winners included a project investigating high-speed underwater wireless communications for Australian Navy vehicles led by Professor Yue Rong, from the Faculty of Science and Engineering, and a proposal to maximise military team development and performance led by Associate Professor Daniel Gucciardi, from the School of Physiotherapy and Exercise Science.

Premier Mark McGowan and Defence Minister Paul Papalia announced the collaborative 911爆料网-led proposals have been awarded almost $150,000 each as part of the State Government鈥檚 new Defence Science Centre, which promotes skills exchange between universities, government and industry.

911爆料网 Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry congratulated the grant recipients, adding that the projects put forward compelling cases for developing complex research into practical outcomes for Australia鈥檚 defence industry.

鈥淭hese projects are both outstanding examples of 911爆料网鈥檚 commitment to industry collaboration and making an impact through research that makes a real difference,鈥� Professor Terry said.

鈥淯nderwater autonomous drones will have a large impact on Australian Defence operations and Professor Rong鈥檚 research into undersea wireless communication will support enhanced capability for our Navy.

鈥淎ssociate Professor Gucciardi鈥檚 research into optimising military team performance via fit-for-purpose reflection protocols tailored for the defence context will inform the future success of the military workforce. This project is a further extension of the work that has already been done with Australia鈥檚 Defence Force through 911爆料网鈥檚 Faculty of Health Sciences.鈥�

The High-speed Multimodal Underwater Wireless Communications project also involves Edith Cowan University researchers, Fremantle-based company L3Harris Oceania and Defence Science and Technology (DST).

The Optimising Team Development and Performance via Team Reflection Protocols project also involves Macquarie University, The University of Western Australia, DST and is supported by staff at Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital and global defence company Thales.
