The Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group is establishing a Science and Technology (S&T) Network in Directed Energy (DE) Technologies and Systems under the Next Generation Technologies Fund (NGTF). DST will contribute funding and support innovative proposals from industry, academia and Government-Funded Organisations (GFO) which identify and pursue niche DE S&T areas critical for future Australian Defence capability.
This call seeks submissions detailing your proposed contributions to the Defence research activities identified in the S&T Areas of Interest. Your proposal is expected to span over a multi-year timeframe and the overall progress will be assessed on an annual basis. Relevant innovation as it develops in the national S&T ecosystem will be identified and changes in Defence priority will be responded to annually through additional calls. Enhancing collaboration between industry and universities is one goal of the NGTF program, and new collaborations with DST are encouraged.
