Defence research to get the once over
Defence research to get the once over
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 13 Jan. 2011 ) Hands up those who knew we have a Defence science, research and technology team?
We do apparently, and the 70 or so personnel based in Devonport are in the process of being reviewed. Readers won't be surprised to find the majority of the expertise is engineering-based, particularly around electronics and IT.
The Defence Technology Agency's origins are naval, and its earlier work on sonar has morphed into a surveillance capability - particularly with regard to the refit and modifications now being carried out to the Orion aircraft fleet.
The DTA also has an overview and integration role for the defence forces' IT technologies, as well as a small but significant capability in materials.
For sticK – science, technology, innovation & commercialisation KNOWLEDGE - is a new Wellington based news service concentrating on following the money from ideas to income. Contact editor Peter Kerr at peter.kerr055 @ gmail.com
