DSTO's research into littoral waters operations

The Royal Australian Navy has operated in littoral waters in the region, represented by an extensive archipelagic geography, for many years and has acquired an enviable capability which was demonstrated most recently, for example, in operations in the Persian Gulf. DSTO supports this capability through a focused research program which addresses platforms, sensor systems, weapons, operational analysis. This allows the RAN to be an informed purchaser of military equipment and enables specific solutions and both system and operational optimisation for Australian requirements. This talk provides a snapshot of the extensive research program in the Maritime Operations Division covering mine counter measures, amphibious operations and hydrography especially, and broadly addresses the maritime environment research program.
